Requirement of sending pdf document using REST receiver adapter

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a scenario of sending attachment along with payload to 3rd Party.

SAP ECC (SOAP Adapter)--> PI --> 3rd Party (SAP REST Adapter)

Could anyone please suggest if it is possible to send attachment using REST adapter provided by SAP.

Hi Manjula

Attachments are not supported in SAP's REST adapter. Please refer to the following SAP Online library link.

REST Adapter Overview - Advanced Adapter Engine - SAP Library

As suggested by Maheswarareddy, you can opt for the SOAP adapter instead as it supports attachment in the receiver channel and it behaves like an HTTP POST. You can check "Do not use SOAP envelope" so that the payload is transferred to the receiver system without the SOAP envelope.

If you still can't resolve it, please elaborate further on your scenario especially what is the receiver system and its constraints/requirements.

Yes , Advantco REST adapter has the option to " Keep Attachments" but we have to use SAP REST adapter.
