3. FTP Methodology
In FTP methodology, FTP server or remote server would be used for parsing of data from
SAP to VENDX and VENDX to SAP.

Also in this methodology, a specific file format is used to exchange data between 2
systems (In most of the cases .txt file is used where “|” is used as field separator)

3.1.1. SAP TO VENDX Integration

In FTP connection, both systems would be working separately and would be having
separate communication calls and hence responsibilities for initiating communication
calls would be divided accordingly between both the systems.

It would be responsibility of SAP to push and fetch data (.txt files) from SAP to FTP server
and it would be responsibility of VENDX to fetch and push data (.txt files) from FTP to
VENDX.

Below mentioned can be the schedulers/Cycles for parsing of data from SAP to VENDX
via FTP:

• Scheduler 1 – This scheduler would be controlled by SAP and purpose of this cycle
would be to push data from SAP to FTP server
• Scheduler 2 – This scheduler would be controlled by VENDX and purpose of this
cycle would be fetch data from FTP to VENDX
• Scheduler 3 – VENDX would initiate this scheduler and would park status of data
back from VENDX to FTP server
• Scheduler 4 – SAP would initiate this call and would fetch status of data from FTP
to SAP for further processing

3.1.2. VENDX TO SAP Integration

As explained in above section, SAP and VENDX would not be communicating directly
with each other and hence both would be using FTP as the mediator for parsing of data.

Below mentioned can be the schedulers/Cycles for parsing of data from VENDX to SAP
via FTP:

• Scheduler 1 – This scheduler would be controlled by VENDX and purpose of this


cycle would be to push data from VENDX to FTP server
• Scheduler 2 – This scheduler would be called by SAP and purpose of this cycle
would be to fetch data from FTP to SAP
• Scheduler 3 – This call would be initiated by SAP for parsing the status of records
back from SAP to FTP server
• Scheduler 4 – VENDX would initiate this call and would fetch status of records from
FTP server to VEND
