Can SAP XI AS2 Adapter process flat files? Pl. tell me how to configure it

[Former Member]

I have a requirement to read and write delimited ASCII flat files using the AS2 adapter in SAP XI. The AS2 adapter should be able to read from delimited ASCII Flat files and also write to delimited ASCII flat files. Kindly let me know how to configure the AS2 adapter so that it can read and write delimited flat files. I badly need to know this configuration for a client requirement which requires file processing by the AS2 adapter in XI 7.0. Thanks in advance

I know I can easily address this requirement with File adapter. But for security reasons, my client wants to use the AS2 adapter. So I have to use the AS2 adapter to do what is normally done by the File adapter. In my case it is mandatory to use the AS2 adapter for the same work done by the File adapter.

So if anybody has used the AS2 adapter , kindly help me with the configuration.

Thanks in advance
