FTP and SAP

[Former Member]

Hello Every one,

Hope iam posting the question in correct forum if not correct me.

I have business requirement where 2 txt files ( in idoc format) are posted onto an FTP server then they will be converted to SAP IDOC format and posted in SAP.

I need to build an interface between SAP and the third part (MFG PRO)so that the idocs posted by MFG (on to an FTP server) are transfered to SAP.

Now i need steps like how to define RFC, PORTS, PARTNER profiles in building that interface and check for successful built of interface.

If any resource available online which would help me in that process..that will be very welcome.

Thanks in Advance

This is a little tricky question.

First thing, you never mentioned whether you are using XI for integration or not.

If you are not using XI, then talk to your ALE/EDI team.

If it is inbound to SAP from a file, you dont need an RFC destination.

You need a Logical system (BD54 trxn)

define port using WE21 trxn

Maintain Partner Profile (WE20 trxn)

To trigger a file to be uploaded, you need to schedule a script to create the IDocs on your SAP from the file port.

If you are using XI let us know.

Hi Kesi,

you need on one site the File Adapter to pick up the file that send trow XI over IDOC Adapter to R/3.

Information about adapter and how to build a scenario look here:
