Handling large files with FTP in XI

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a file scenario where i have to post the file with size of more than 500MB and with the fields upto 700 in each line.

The other scenario worked fine if the file size is below 70MB and less number of fields.

Could anyone help me in handling such scenario with large file size and without splitting the file.

1) From your previous experience did you use any Tools to help with the development of the FTP interfaces?

2) The client looked at ItemField, but is not willing to use it, due to the licensing costs. Did you use any self-made pre-processors?

3) Please let me know the good and bad experiences you had when using the XI File Adapter?

Thanks & Regards,

Raghuram Vedagiri.

performance hitzzz which evetuaaly results in interface not processing the files. u need to see if the files are be logically split before processed in xi or increase ur h/w config...as bhavesh said check of quick sizing tool

you need to split the file.otherwise XI will have problem while processing this.

500 MB is huge. XI will not be able to handle such a huge payload for sure.

Are you using XI as a mere FTP or are you using Content Conversion with mapping etc?

1. Either use a splitting logic to split the file outside XI ( using Scripts ) and then XI handles these file.

2. or Quick Size your hardware ( Java Heap etc ) to make sure that XI can handle this file ( not recommended though). SAP recommends a size of 5 MBas the optimum size.
