Hi,
After configuring the XI server I am doing first scenario in it that is file_file scenario. My problem is the file is not picking up. Is it configuration problem because even i checked in RWB there is no data coming.
Even I checked in sxmb_moni it is saying no msg available and in communication channel Monitoring I am getting error like Configured source directory 'd:\' does not exist.If i give any other path it is giving the samething.
Please help me out.

In that case you can use SXDA_TOOLS tranaction code, and if you don't have authorization for it then ask your BASIS consultant to put the file in your source dir.
Here is the full method to upload the file on XI server..
The porcedure to put a file on server is as shown below:
1. Save your file in your local machine.
2. In XI server, enter the tranaction code "SXDA_TOOLS".
3. In the input screen, enter:
i) Object Type "DXPROJECT".
ii) Program Type "BAPI".
iii) Program "CREATE".
4. Press Copy (Ctrl+F5) button.
5. Now, you will get another screen in which you will see 3 blocks called as "Source", "Target" and "Copy with/without conversion".
6. In Source block, choose the radio button "Presentation Server" and then take F4 help to select your source file. (file which you have saved on your local machine)
7. In Target block select the radio button "Application Server", check the box "Remote server" and take F4 help to select your application server.
8. In the same block under "File Type" select "P physical file name" and under "File Name" write the path/directory name which you have mentioned in your communication channel along with the file name.
Example: suppose file name in your Comm Chanel is "demo.xml" and directory path is "/abc/testfiles/XML/", then in step 8 write "/abc/testfiles/XML/demo.xml".
Note: need not to do any thing in 3rd block.
