Hi,

<How to upload this .xls file into XI?>

Do you mean that, you have done all the configuration and now you want to upload the file into test directory of XI server for testing purpose using NFS mode??

If your ans is Yes, then use <b>tcode SXDA_TOOLS</b> to upload the file into applicaion server (XI) and use tcode <b>AL11</b> to see the file which you have uploaded into source directory of XI.

Hi,

Using file adapter you can pick and read contents of file.

But file adapter cant directly pick xls file. You need to develop a adapter module to pick .xls file and that module can be used in file adapter.
