Hi Saripalli,

For file to file transformation,

In the Integration Repository,

1> Create your source and target data types, message types, message interfaces.

2> Then do your message mapping n interface mappings.

In your Integration Directory,

1> Configure your communication channels of source n target for file, the adapter being file here mention the file path and name for source and target.

2> if input is a txt file choose the content conversion option which converts the txt to xml format.

3> do the Sender n receiver aggrement and sender and receiver determinations .

4> if the output is again required as a text content conversion is to be chosen for the reciever communication channel too.

For how the data gets transformed,

the text input given is converted to xml format by the adapter, then the mapping is done in the integration engine and the target is again sent to the target file thro the file adapter where it is again converted to txt format.

hi girish

The file to file scenario is the simplest.. and helps u understand the basic working of XI..

i assume that u know the creation of s/w components , technical landscapes n business landscapes in the SLD n how to get it into the Integration Repository..

Once this is done do the following

1 create the source n the target data types in ur IR Object the data types could me information like name, address , emp no etc..

2. Create the message type for each data Type.

3 Create the message Interface..In this case you'll need 2 intefaces 1 out bound from the source file to XI

and the other to the target file.

4. now create ur mapping objects.

-> message mapping-use the message type which u created earlier

-> interface mapping- use the message type n message mapping here

5.once done with the above go to the Integeration Directory.

6.Create a new configuration scenario n add ur business system to this.

7. Craete ur communication channels here.2 communication channels are required

one sender the other receiver both using the file adapter.Specify ur source n destination files n location.

in the sender communication channel set the File Mode to delete so that u will be aware abt the file being picked up.

8.Craete ur receiver detremination

9. Make a sender agreement and a receiver agreement

10 Once ur done with this activate all the objects u have created.

11. Trace ur output in the SXMB_Moni in the SAP logon..

Post ur doubts n points

Regards

Hi Girish,

For a file- file scenario, the following needto be done.

1. In your intergration repository, crete the corresponding DataTypes for source andtarget.

2. The corresponding message types, message interfaces, are also created along with the message mapping and interface mapping.

3. In the Integration Directory, create your Configuration Scenario, import your business system and then create 2 communication channels, one as a sender for the file and one for the receiver for the file.

4. If your incoming file is a flat file, then perform the Content Conversion.

5. Next, do your sender agreement and receiver agreement.

6. The last stage will be do your receiver determination along with interface determination.
