SP,

You can use File adapter (for Sender) & Plain HTTP (for Receiver) {or FTP adapter if you want to simply FTP the file rather than use HTTP}.

In order to grap the file from a local machine (using File adapter), there are 2 options :

(a) Install Local Adapter Engine (WAS with J2EE stack)

(b) Map your local drive, if your Basis & Network folks allow.

>>(b) Map your local drive, if your Basis & Network folks >>allow.

most of the time Basis team will not allow you do this. you will be better off using a mapped/mounted drive that is blessed by ur basis team. you can using FTP tools move ur file to that location. XI can then pick up the file.

SP,

You will need atleast 1 Data Type & corresponding Message Type. If your data needs to be formatted and/or mapped, you will also need to create Message Interface(s) & Message Mapping.

I don't need any formatted ...so...

1)one data type

2)corresponding message type

after that i can directly go to i'directory???

1)import a biz system

2)create 2 communication channels...

is that sufficient???is there any thing else i have to do???

Hi SP,

U need to create message Interface corrosponding to eh inbound and outbound Mesage types.Then you need to do Message Mapping and interface mapping.

In ID, after creating CCs you need to do routing rules.

Sender Agreement

Recv Determination & Interface Determination

Receiver Agreement

Hi SP,

<b>In IR</b>

1) Create DT, MT and MI for File and HTTP. So total 2 DT, 2 MT and 2 MI will be there.

2) Create MM between File_MT and HTTP_MT.

3) Create IM between File_MM and HTTP_MM.

<b>IN ID</b>

1) Import Biz system.

2) Create Communication channel for File(Sender) and HTTP (receiver)

3) Create Sender Agreement, Receiver Determination, Interface Determionation and Receiver Agreement.

Hope this will be helpful.
