XI sender and PI 7.1 receiver

[Former Member]

I have a strange scenario..where the client would sent data from XI 3.0 which is there in their landscape...

It has to come to PI 7.1 (our system )and be sent to a ftp location...

file-> XI -> PI -> File...

In XI.. I will use sender file adapter and receiver XI adapter to send data to PI system.. is this right??

How shall I proceed from here??

Do i have to just create a rcvr FTP ?? or sender XI and rcvr FTP??

any blogs on similar situation??

Im completely lost...pls help..

Keep it simple and do it this way!

file -> XI -> file -> PI -> file

There is nothing useful in your links related to the thread.

You should not waste the time of the forum people by giving useless information and bad advice.

Hi,

To do your scenario File>XI>PI--->File, proceed like below

In customer system(XI server) you develop one interface like

File --> XI

file sender channel and receiver XI channel

then you develop 2nd interface in PI Server as below

PI---> File

Sender XI channel and receiver File channel

Note:-- you specify customer XI server information in sender XI channel.

thanks

XI -> PI communication can be done via SOAP adpater - /people/abhy.thomas/blog/2007/01/18/xi-content-certification-in-a-b2b-scenario--case-study

This is not strange, it is very common to do this.

both is possible

there are two ways:

1. define sender and receiver system in both PI, then do configuration in both systems equally, besides the receiver agreements.

so: in XI1 the receiver system is logically the same business system as the receiver in PI2, but technically use an XI channel pointing to PI2

2. treat this like a B2B scenario:

You have to consider, the the sender interface in PI2 must be the same as the receiver interface in PI1. use abstract interfaces (without direction) for this purpose.

Thanks Stefan..

I was a lot confused abt the configuration.. I will try with the abstract interfaces and keep the frum posted on this

[stefan_grube]

Something came into my mind:

If you choose option 1:

In PI2 system, you need not do a whole config.

The incoming XI message has already information about sender and receiver system.

All you need is a receiver agreement pointing to your FTP channel.
