File to AbapProxy for trigerring abap report

[Former Member]

Hello PI/PO Experts,

I have to trigger Abap treatment in SAP ECC when receiving files from senders systems, using SAP PI.

In a classical approach : an externel scheduller like $U or VTOM working in pooling mode detectes new file in target directory and trigger an SAP ECC abap report, transfering file name in dedicated Abap parameter. And i don't need any more SAP PI to do this work....

In my SAP PI approach :

i don't have any external cheduller but i want to trigger SAP ECC abap treatment using this file

=>does the only way to solve it is to use a "File to ProxyAbap" scenario ?.

=>Is there any technical limits with this approach (maximum file size for example) ?.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Etienne,

=>does the only way to solve it is to use a "File to ProxyAbap" scenario ?.

Yes, it is possible and it is an usual scenario. You have an example here (with FTP, with NFS it will be similar)  Step-by-step FTP to ABAP Proxy - Process Integration - SCN Wiki

Depending of your PI version the configuration can be different.

=>Is there any technical limits with this approach (maximum file size for example) ?.

AFAIK there is not limitation, From my own experience, if you work with huge files you will need to change the maximum size file allowed in the icm (PI and ECC, or only in the second one if you are in PI AEX): icm/HTTP/max_request_size_KB - SAP Web Dispatcher - SAP Library

Hope this helps.

Regards.
