Flat file -> XI 2.0

[Former Member]

hi experts,

I am tring to send a flat file from my local pc to XI 2.0 box . it went on fine, mapping was successful.

I wanted to edit the file or do the mapping in ABAP Instead of Using GUI mapping Mapping Interface in Integration builder.

i wanted to do mapping using ABAP . Is there any change that i can apply conditions are do any validations using ABAP before the file goes to Integration builder. we are using XI 2.0 version.

if it is possible pls explain me . Appreciate your time and interest on this topic.

Hi all,

I am trying to send a flat file from ftp server to intergration server in sap xi 2.0.

I have configured the outbound file adapter with hostname,port,username and password of the ftp server.

But during the configuration in integration directory i

didnot find any to mention the details like sender adapter is file adapter, poll interval etc..

Can any one help me out how to make file adapter to pick the file from ftp server??/

Sriram,

You specify those details (FTP server info, polling interval etc) in the Outbound File Adapter (properties file).

Hi Ravish,

"Pure" ABAP mapping is available with XI 3.0, not XI 2.0. In XI 3.0, an ABAP mapping program can be developed with SE80. Then this mapping program can be selected in Interface Mapping of the Integration Repository.

The only thing you can do in XI 2.0, is possibly using JCO calls within your message mapping (or XSLT or java mapping program) to do lookups via an RFC.

Alternatively, you can develop a "dispatcher" (which is like a user-exit) for your file adapter and use JCO to call RFCs.

hi William ,

Thanks for intrest shown towards this . One more request . I wanted to split my inputfile based on condition recds in ABAP Proxy. Can it be done in XI ( 2.0 OR 3.0)

if so where can i do this. it gives Classes ( co_ .. for outbound ) and methods for generated objects. where can i go and apply logic on this to split the incoming file. I tried so many documents i didn't find any solution for this . appreciate your help.
