Retrieve information from external server

Former Member — Tue, 01 Jul 2014 07:55:18 GMT

Hi,

We're trying to retrieve a file from an external server to SAP. We want to create a RFC that communicating with our server, it should retrieve the file and extract and write the content in our ABAP program. Could you please help us? After reading some discussions on SCN we don't understand the solutions given.

Thank you,

Óscar

Hi,

the solution of RFC will only works if the external server will send the file to SAP.

For this you will need a language like VB that call the RFC function and send the content of the file.

if you requirement is to get the file from SAP, you will have to check the solution of the FTP. Do you have FTP on your external server ? what kind of external server did you have ?

regards

Fred

Thank you Frédéric. We're going to retrieve with http_get function module, retrieving a file from the url address.
