XI File BPM scenario

Question

Hi all,
i have questions regarding the usage of big files with a BPM scenario. The functional requirements are as follows:
1. Pick up large (raw data) file (1MB) from FTP server
2. Drop this file to a second FTP server
3. After the file has been transmitted sucessfully (criticall !), look into a DB and extract information with the help of the filename of the transmitted file and extend the message (in a message mapping)
4. Send this data to ECC and update a custom table
My approach to realise this scenario, would be to perform the DB lookup in a java mapping. Are there any other options?
In addition I am concerned about performance issues, because we will send about 200 files a day (up to 10 at a time) using that interface. Is there a possibility to avoid the integration process?
Kind regards and thanks in advance
Florian

Hi Floarin,
Your requirment can be accomplished with and without BPM.
With BPM:
To improve performance:
you can use the Concepet of Message Packaging For BPE which is best suited for requirment of your kind i.e where you have multiple files coming in in bunch.
you can also define receive of a file on a FTP under a block only as you are not using file content and you need file name only.
Please use JDBC look up only it will improve the Performance to a greate extend.
After JDBC look up you can use that Data to write into ECC
Without BPM:
You can find Modules that can extract file name and pass that file name to JDBC look up and then output of JDBC to ECC.
Even here also you can use Concept of Message Packaging.
To handle Exception you can use Alert
Reward Points if Helpful
