Hello All,

Client gave me two options and told to select one best way to transfer the data,

First is FTPS or HTTPs. Please let me know which is the best option to go with. and please tell me what are the necessary configurations need to be done if we go with any one option.

Please give your inputs.

Hi,

It is completely depends on client requirement. If client agree to transfer data as file mean we can choose FTP else we can choose HTTPS. For HTTPS we need some prerequisites.

Thanks to all for the reply.

If i need to down load the data from the existing Web browser, then i think best option is going with HTTPs.

Please let me know any addtional software need to install in PI server for this......can i use SOAP adater to down load.

what all i need to configure this scenario.

I need to ask the Source XSD file for the source structure.

What else i need ...please guide me.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

If client is going to communicate data in form of HTTP request then you must go for HTTPs else FTPs is best option.

Again it is not XI/PI which decide what to use but what is available from client. If client is able to send data in form of file then go for FTPs as it is secure/Async and easily traceable.

For designing system you need source structure (if XSD available then great else you need to create one), target structure and mapping rule.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes i know we will not deside, but if client gave some options through which they want to send data and based on our decision they will implement that secure option at there side.

Then we have to suggest the client which will be the best option.

that is the reason i rasied this request.

Thanks.
