stupid question about reading file

[former_member192343]

a system need to read file by request (request starts in a system) How to realize it via XI?

system <-> XI <-> file

PS

<b>i do not need scheduler, i neen read a file after pressing a button in a system. To read file one time at concrete moment, not in interval.</b>

if you want that a event in our system can be used a trigger to start the file adapter...yes it is possible... as u can start and stop XI File adapter externally with entering into RWB ... through specific url..

as far i undertood u want to trigger file processing to xi when an event takes place in source system. if yes it depends on the kind of source system. if it is a http client well u know that it is driven by event processing or for webservice also can be done. look in ur source system if ut supports any user defined functionalities for processing events. if yes then using Remote method invokation u can achieve this.

If you want to read a file from the perticular folder, you have the poll interval, so your scenarios will trigger each and every intervel menstioned. if file is there then it will pick up otherwise it won't process. So it is keep on do the same. There is no limit for this until you make your CC satus inactive.

Mikhail,

if that system is XI you can use sceduler option in file adapter for this you needto SP19XI3.0 or SP10 PI7.0

if other system then such as ABAP Proxy then you need to run the proxy for that time or scedhule it

i do not need scheduler, i neen read a file after pressing a button in a system.

Do this way REPORT-will call proxy(Outbound Proxy)-XI-File

Hi

[former_member192343]

no matter what kind of system i think...

[Former Member]

In that case I could think of 2 XI interfaces

1. Push button in a html/web page and route it to a file system through http request.

2. Use another interface with file adapter as the sender

Mikhail,

You cant achieve your requirement with File adapter (at least not with current SP).

You can consider Proxy(ABAP\Java) to achieve your requirement as a work around.

hmmm... system sends message to XI, and XI!!!! must call file adapter! why do you need to know what kind of system?

[Former Member]

hmm.....you mean to say from XI when you press button you need file adapter to process the file.

if this is case XI cant do it and i dont think any middle ware tool as this option.

No. The max the end system can do is send the file to XI App server folder. But to start processing the file, the call is <b>initiated by XI and not the end system</b>. You specify a poll interval in communication channel that will trigger the process. May be you can use start and stop functionality of communication channel available in RWB.
