File to ABAP proxy with EOIO

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am working on File to ABAP proxy scenario. The requirement is to have EOIO from end to end.

Which means the files have to be sent to target system (R/3) in the same order as they are placed in the file location. I have two questions regarding this.

1. Do I have to create 2 queues, one in PI and one in R/3 to acheive this? In File Sender CC we have option of specifying queue name but in XI Receiver CC, I do not see such option. How to handle this?

2.For picking the files from folder if I use NFS, then I have option of specifying 'Processing Sequence' as 'By Date' to pick the files based on timestamp. But if I am using FTP, how can I make sure that the files are sent to Integration engine based on timestamp?

Please provide your valuable inputs.

Thanks and regards,

One queue is enough, in this queue only all the messages are stored and goes to the target system in the order.

Remember you have to deselect the Maintain Order At Runtime option in the Interface determination if we are using the EOIO.

According to my knowledge this option is only available for the NFS.

1 queue is okay. Just specify it in the Sender File CC.

2.For picking the files from folder if I use NFS, then I have option of specifying 'Processing Sequence' as 'By Date' to pick the files based on timestamp. But if I am using FTP, how can I make sure that the files are sent to Integration engine based on timestamp?

Processing Sequence is not supported for FTP and is only for NFS.

If you have to use processing sequence, then do an FTP, bring the files to an NFS directory and then use the processing sequence accordingly.

Hope this helps.
