Former Member

Hi Experts,

I have a scenario where i have to pull files from an webserver using https protocol to XI and pass it to a folder(no transformation required in the data).

Also please let me know in detail ,about the parameters of XI and the source webserver i need to have before starting the scenario.

Can this be acheived without soap?If Soap is the only solution please let me know how to proceed with it.

Thanks,

Sudhansu

HTTP or SOAP sender adapters AFAIK cannot poll files from a web server. They can accept a push from the web server via a HTTP or a SOAP call. In your case, the application(program) placing the file, in a specific location in the web server may have to be modified to make a http or soap call to PI server. If not possible, you may have to look at FTP as an option.

I suggest using SOAP to push the file as an attachment to its message in case FTP is not being looked up as a possible solution.

its more on the SOAP implementation. SOAP supports attachments and hence they can send the file as part of the attachment

Once that is implemented, you can use the option keep attachments in the soap adapter to receive the attachment.
