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.,

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,
