Need to Archive Target File on PI Server

[Former Member]

Hi ALL

We are using the File adapter(FTP) option to write files to the target system.

Also, we would like to achieve the file created, after its completed creating the file on the PI server.

Can you please, help us with options or methodologies we can use to achieve this.

Here is the Scenario:

Step 1.File "Test1.txt"Created on FTP Server: ftp.hostname1.com (File adapter using FTP)

Step 2.A Copy of the file "Test1-042809.txt" archived on SAP PI Server.

Is this possible by using the option "Run Operating System Command After Message Processing" under the Receiver File adapter communication channel processing option.

Also, our PI server is on Windows Operating system....

Your help is greatly appreciated!!

Thank you,

Patrick

Set the Processing Mode in the Processing Parameters of the sender FTP adapter to "Archive".

Using this option, you can archive the file to the directory specified.

Check the link:

and search for "Archive"

use a command like this in the file adapter

cp /xxx/yyyy/targetdir/<filenamescheme> /xxx/yyyy/targetdir/archive/<filenamescheme>
