IDOC to file (File_port) to sap po file location

[former_member205100]

Hi ,

recently we have done the migration of PI 7.0 to PO 7.4 where in the existing PI system we have a scenario where Idoc from ECC sent as a file using File_Port and stored in the local file directory path (AL11) and an Interface from PI will read the file and pass on to other system.

Now I need to replicate the same scenario but ECC should the idoc xml as file to the PO file system instead of local file system in ABAP stack. how can this be done.

Hi Sethuraman,

you can use the IDOCXmlToFlatConvertor module to convert IDOC to flat file. Please refer the below blog for the details

Its not the problem with mounting rather from client dont want to have this to be mounted and keep it seperated .

will try on this.

Ok..you can try FTP.

you can post again if your stuck or getting some issue.

[former_member186851]

Yes FTP should work,But I dont think mounting should be a problem even if the OS are different.

[former_member205100]

No its not agreed to mount between two different OS, how about FTP ? can we use if its between two different servers then?

By default Linux / Unix OS supports FTP hosting , so yes you can go through FTP connection.

Hello Sethu,

The better way could be mounting the AL11 directory of SAP ECC in SAP PO.

Thanks Harish, sorry for bit late reply.

But is it possible to fetch the file from ECC file server ( AL11) from sap PO one thing to remember is ECC is on Unix and PO on linux which is not mounted either.

Do we have any better way?
