Image file as a PDF and its transfer from XI to R/3.

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Please, can you explain how we can transfer a PDF file (scaned picture) ?

Can XI send directly this kind of file to R/3 or it needs to send the file into a UNIX directory where we will have to build a SAP program to read the file from unix and load into the SAP R/3 transaction?

Appreciate your responses.

Thank you, Sreekanth

Sreekanth,

<b>Answer to your question is Yes.</b>

XI can post the file to a different server (irrespective of the thing that it is Unix based or Window based..)..XI can directly send the file to R3 also but in R3 side there should be mechanism to handle the file...Like a BDC logic with in a RFC..to upload the file..in SAP DB..

Don't know, If you would have heard about DMS(Document Management system -- run TA CV01) in SAP ...to know more about this..

Your scenario is simple File->XI->RFC..

Feel free for clarification of doubts..

Thank you all for your advice. I will try the XI-RFC scenario proposed by Santosh Rawat.

Hi,

For picking the PDF file from XI use this blog,

/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/31/xi-read-data-from-pdf-file-in-sender-adapter

Similary we can produce the PDF also,

i

The sender file adapter is configured to pick the normal payload which is specified in the File access parameters, and the additional image file that is to be sent as an attachment is configured under the Additional File(s).The file type will be binary.

>>or it needs to send the file into a UNIX directory where we will have to build a SAP program to read the file from unix and load into the SAP R/3 transaction

as you said you need to send this file Unix directory and then develop a ABAP program to read this into R/3,but the question is where you want to store this PDF on R/3 side?
