Hi All,

I have scenario, where I want to trigger file adapter based on certain event in SAP ECC.

Can file adapter be triggered based on certain event? If possible can you share some ideas how it can be done?

Thanks & Regards,

Ashish

Hi,

My scenario is SAP ECC will drop a file on the server, which should be picked up by XI when the file is dropped and then FTP it to another location and get the acknowledgement back to SAP ECC, when it has successfully moved the file to FTP location.

So, my requirement is to trigger the file adapter, once the file is generated on the server, so that XI picks up the file and FTPs it and then get the response back to the ECC that it has successfully FTPed the file.

Thanks & Regards,

Ashish

Hi Ashish,

I have an alternative design level suggestion. see if that works for you.

Instead of SAP ECC dropping the file in the server,

create an abap proxy and rigger the abap proxy, instead of dropping the file on to the server.

The data posted to the proxy should be sent to FTP in XI.

On a high level, you may want to configure a PROXY-XI-FTP scenario.

This way, your proxy will be working only when you call it in the backend.

Your ECC systems drops the file into server...then u r file adapter picks the file..

when ever the file is there adapter picks the file and FTP the file..

If your ECC is droping file then file adapter picks the file what is the need of trigger here?

Hi PT Rao,

I think he does not want the file adapter to be active all the time and polling for the files, even if there are no files.

Hi Ravikanth,

I wish I could do that, but there is a standard SAP functionality which generates the file in a specific format, here we are using XI to FTP the file to another location and get an acknowledgement back to the initiator that the file has been successfully moved.

It is easy for me to answer yes, but what is your scenario?
