HI

In the right hand side. Select the Test Tab and click on Source Document View button

Can you see the XML

Copy this and paste it into the file C:\XI_FILES\SENDER\xi_xmlfile_input.dat only the xml contents and now wait for the XI to pick the file. Once XI picks the file then it will delete the file.

How to debug if anything went wrong? Login into the XI server and type the TCode u201CSXMB_MONIu201D this will take u to the message monitoring screen. Just select the first option then press u201CExecuteu201D. One more screen opens up Just Press "Execute" again.

Now open the message which has your business service name. If it is in red color box then error or else if you are seeing what I am seeing then You have successfully created a u201CXML FILE 2 XML FILE Scenariou201D from Scratch.

Hey,

The blog that you are refering to does not have the configuration of sender and receiver file adapter

Refer to the following link for sender file adpater configuration

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/79973cc73af456e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

Refer to the following link for reciever file adpater

configuraition

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/79973cc73af456e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

Now once done this create a sender and reciever agreement whre you will refer to the channel.

Now Place the file that you have give in Sender file adapter (make sure the file extn is .xml)

You need to use either FTP or NFS.

and need to place the file in the respective source path.

reward points if useful

Hi,

For starting the scenario, put the file (name should be the one that you have provided while configuring the sender communication Channel) that you want to send in the folder that you mentioned in CC.

The CC(Commuincaiton channel) will pick up the file and will place the file in the target folder.

Hi, I hope you have executed the scenario. with the information replied by the friends. if not do like this:

1. In sender and receiver communication channels use the file path as simple path like c://filesend and c://filerecv. Both file send and filerecv are folders in which the example.txt files are placed.

2. put the poll intervels in the communication channel as 10 sec to see the generated file soon ( dont forget to change it immediately you see the files at destination c://filerecv)

3. save and activate the scenario.

See the result.

Best of luck

Hi,

check this

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/xi/flatFILETOFLATFILE&

Place the Source file in the source directory( wat ever u have mentioned the path in the sender CC) and mention the receiver directory also in the Receiver communication channel.

Hi,

a scenario with a file on sender side starts if a file exists that fits to file specified in the File Sender Adapter.

So if for example the File Sender Adapter waits for a file 'example.txt' and have a polling interval of 10 minutes then the scenario starts within 10 minutes after a 'example.txt' is created in the specified directory.
