Hi Priya,

Hey Priya,

I have developed some scenarios integration with NW (XI) with the main frames.

Normally, mainframe generates or needs flat files and SAP requires RFC/Idoc/Proxy formats.

so its very simple like file to RFC/IDoc/Proxy. There are so many blogs are available in sdn, make a search n sdn and develop the scenarios.

Cheers.,

Esha

Hi,

If you have an IBM mainframe and there is an MQ connection using input/output queue's. You can use the JMS adapter to talk to the mainframe for asynchronous as well as sync-async bridge type of synchronous operations.

We are currently exposing web services to the front end via SAP XI for some of the data held within the mainframe using MQ.

Hi,

If you are trying to place the file on the ftp server and the requirement can be achieved by increasing the poll interval to time interval which is required.There is an option called Poll interval available on file adapter.Since File adapter will be used to connect to the FTP server.

Thanks,

Kiran
