UDF or Adapter?

[Former Member]

XI Geeks,

we have a scenario IDOC to file.

can create file at OS level using UDF with no Receiver & Sender agreements.

when UDF can serve the purpose of an adapter what else we need,just need configuration part in identifying the right UDF thorugh reciever and interface determination.

my question is in what way UDF can command over Adapter performance factor for the above scenario.

Thanks & Regards,

HI Rama,

Please can you be more clarified about usag of your UDFs to download or upload the file.

Adapters are used to communicate with FTP server. PRobably with UDFs you may have restricted only to NFS protocol.

You have not required sender and receiver agreement coz, you have downloaded or uploaded the fiel on XI server only and its in XML format.

But for any conversions youhave to go for File adapter.

Even from the security perceptive (FTPS/SFTP) you have to go for adapters.

Thanks
