File Transfer related issues

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have some files (.xml) in one of our Unix server and the document namespace is

"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<!DOCTYPE e-con-pay SYSTEM "econE2B.dtd">, which i need to transfer thru XI.

"

I need to transfer thru XI to system XXX.

My doubts are:

1) Do I need to follow any special procedure to pick file from the unix server or the same as like our normal file scenario

2) I need to create my data structures, can I go ahead wtih the normal structure or shld i need to create .DTD and import it into XI.

Plz do send me ur valuable inputs.

Warm Regards

1. Is the server FTP enabled. This helps in using file adapter for the ftp protocol

2. You can create ur data strucutres in IR itself. U also have he priviledge to import the xsd defintion
