HI Deepthi,

While creating the Communication channels you need to provide the source/ Target Directories and the file naming conventions.

Using that file name, place the file in the respective folder that has the message satisfying the structure defined in the ESR.

Hi,

while creating a communication channel for file sender or receiver you have to specify the source and target file names.

sender communication channel:

Source file name: Give your file name with extension(XML or TXT)

Source Directory : GIve Directory name (where you have place the file)

same as target also file name and directory once completed everthing. you have to run FTP server.

Hi Ganesh, thanks for your help.

I have small doubt in FTP parameters given by my manager,

He gave server parameter value as ACDCEDIDEV1, i just wanted to know if it is fine or should it be other.

hi,

It might be correct. Seems to be a host name.

ACDCEDIDEV1 -- Ping this host using you command prompt for checking

Make sure ACDCEDIDEV1 is in the same network as PI server

Hi Deepthi.

It can be the Hostname.

The server parameter should be the IP address of the FTP. Please confirm with your Manager regarding the same.

Hi Deepthi,

1. Select the Transport protocol as FTP

2. Provide FTP Connection Parameters
