how to upload a file in SAP R3 system using XI?

Hi,

As I understand your problem, you are planning to put a file on SAP R3.

Usually, following are the ways of communicating with SAP R3 through SAP XI:

1. IDOC

2. RFC

3. ABAP Proxy.

Since in your case, you wish to push a file (any structure) to R3, you need to treat SAP R3 as any other server. This means you would have to consider this server as a FTP server and do appropriate settings. In short, consider this scenario as File to File if sender is sending a file.

Thanks,

Dear Prabu,

If I want to upload a file via XI, then I would generally either map the file to an idoc and send it to R/3 or would use proxy.

Absolutely. Use a File adapter.

You have 2 options.

1. Make the folder in SAP FTP enabled and use FTP protocol.

2. Map the SAP folder as a logical drive extension of XI App server and use NFS protocol.

Prabhu,

No T-codes are used for this. All settings have to be done at administrative level. You need to log in to SAP server using remote login ( not using SAP GUI) and enable FTP access to that particular folder. Contact your BASIS team for more help.

Same is the case with mapping the folder as XI App server drive or drectory. You need to do that at OS level. Here your network admin can help you in this regard.

Hi,

if XI and R/3 are in the same domain, you can map the XI directory in your R/3 system, so you will only to use the File adapter with NFS transport protocol. This is the easiest way.

As explained in the above post, you have to contact your basis admin to set it up.

Cheers.
