Create SAP PI Directory Structure

You will need to set up a directory structure on your SAP server to facilitate transfers from SAP PI to APM Connect. The structure depends on the FILE_MOVE_USE_PI parameter and the COMPRESS_TYPE parameter usage in the context file.

Steps

On your SAP server, create one directory and subdirectory according to the following grid:

If FILE_MOVE_USE_PI is..	...and COMPRESS_TYPE is...	... create the following directory structure:
false	NONE	<root:>/<New Directory Name>
false	ZIP or SAPCAR	<root:><New Directory Name>/Compress
true	NONE	<root:>/<New Directory Name>
true	ZIP or SAPCAR	<root:>/<New Directory Name>/Compress

Note: Each directory needs to be in a shared directory that APM Connect can access, and should be the base path value in PLSAP_INPUT parameter. Additionally, once the job is run, the compress directory will be programmatically added to the value PLSAP_INPUT in the context file.

The directories are created, and the SAP PI server and APM Connect server can extract files from the SAP sever.
