Hey

FTP transport protocol will work in all the cases(even if you have file on XI server itself)

NFS on the other hand will only work if the file is on XI server.

Thanx

Hi All,

I have tried with both NFS and FTP Transport protocol. CC monitoring in RWB is showing no errors. After starting the channel it is saying Processing started & C. I have not drop any file in the specified directory with the name file.xls, then it has to give the message as "no file has been found the name file.xls. Why it is giving the message Processing started? Is there any thing wrong I did?

Sorry it is giving the message as process finished successfully.

Hi,

You have not done anything wrong. Actually File Adapter in XI works on Polling basis. You must have specified some polling interval in File Communication Channel.

For example: If u specify polling interval as 1 min, then for every 1 min XI file adapter will poll file from specified directory with specified name. If file exists then it will process that file and if file is not present then also it will show successful message as File Adapter Polling is successful.

This will be continued for every 1 min as that is your polling interval.

If you read documentation on Help.sap.com about file adapter, you will get all the information.

Hope this is useful for you.

Hi,

Here is the solution:

1) If you want to place the file:

Adapter Type: File ;Receiver

Transport protocol: TFP

Message Protocol: File

2) If you want pick the file:

Adapter Type: File ;Sender

Transport protocol: TFP

Message Protocol: File

Hi Kartikeya,

You are saying that the FTP server is in XI server landscape itself, so you can go for NFS transport protocol to pickup the file.
