Prefer HTTP or SOAP Adapter for file upload

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have the following scenario:

Data (about 50 MB) is sent to PI and should get uploaded as file to a third party system.

I don't want to the use the File Adapter as I would have to use the FTP protocol and then have to install a FTP server.

On the third party system exists already a Web service for uploading files (in this case I would take the SOAP Adapter).

Another possibility would be to transfer the data with the HTTP Adapter.

My question is what are advantages and disadvantages of transferring the data to the third party system with the HTTP Adapter and respectively with the SOAP Adapter.

Thanks and regards

Patrick

Hi,

thanks for your answer, but most of threads say only that SOAP Adapter is for communication with Web services and HTTP not.

I know this already and in my case I can use both Adapters for the same task and want to know which I should choose in this case.

Like which one is maybe faster, more reliable, practicable , better for large files...

Hi,

I think,In your case SOAP Adapter will be the best one, why because it supports for huge data when compared to HTTP
