Hello Shabarish,
Your Suser id shouls have authorizations ie. you should have the
existing license authorizations to see/download SAP NetWeaver PI for
using SFTP Adapter. In case existing line is true for you Can you send me
an email with your Suser id and I will try to validate. Also, would be great
if you can send me a screenshot of the location that you are trying to
download

Can you please clarify is the below assumption is correct;
1. SFTP and PGP does not include any additional licence cost if
we are already using PI 7.11 SP08.
2. The B2B add on is a separate licence

Thanks for sharing this information Piyush.
The compatibility matrix shows PI 7.11 SP08 as a prerequisite. Are there any small fixes planned in
near future to downport it further to lower SPs of 7.11?

Hi Prateek,
Currently, there are no plans to downport it to other SPs. The releases mentioned in the SAP

Piyush,
Apparently SAP seemed to have skipped FCC as part of the SFTP adapter.
I believe that instead of us relying on the messagetrnasformbean, it should comes inbuilt into the
adapter as we have in case of the file adapter.
Thanks,
Shabz

Hello Shabarish,
Thanks for making this point.
MessageTransformBean adapter module is independent and can be used with any adapter
and provides the same functionality. So, anyone can get the content conversion using this
module.

Hello Piyush,
My current project is working on PI 7.1 Service pack 05.
However, there is a need to use SFTP for one of our critical customer data . Is it possible that there is
a way out, to use this addon for SP 05.
Regards,
Rachana

Prateek Raj Srivastava Aug 14, 2012 4:41 PM (in response to rachana santoshwar)
Rachana, that was one of the questions I asked earlier (see comments above). There is no
way out here and SP upgrade is a must here. We did the same in our landscape. Even if you
manage to tweak the adapter to work in SP05, you will not get any support from SAP for that
tweaked adapter.

Prateek Raj Srivastava

I think, you are right that even if i tweak, the Adapter, will throw some Jar or class
exception in the monitoring if used .
However, my problem is that update from SP05 to SP08 will need lot of effort from
Basis and PI team and not sure if business will spent that much money for one
interface.

Rachana

SP upgrade will be required sooner or later. But if you try to convince
them for upgrade cost Vs cost of third party SFTP adapter license, I am
pretty sure upgrade will be cheaper.

I understand that B2B AddOn needs additional licensing cost. My question would be.. (Just a high
level answer would be sufficient) Let's assume I am a new client and want to buy/avail an enterprise
license of SAP (including ERP, CRM, SRM, etc.. and some Netweaver Products including SAP PI). If I
will avail this license and want to implement B2B solution using B2B AddOn for SAP PI/PO (from my
understanding, it requires additional licensing) does it requires separate license for each of the
technical adapters (OFTP, AS2 and X.400) or the separate license includes all technical adapters for
B2B AddOn. I know SFTP and PGP is free base from the licensing matrix.
Another question, if I'll avail B2B AddOn (which needs additional licensing), does the B2B
Infrastructure Service (security, EDI splitting, numbering acknowledgements, archiving and mapping
functions) and Converter modules would also be a separate license cost or it is including when you
acquire the license of B2B AddOn (seeing it as a whole package) or If a separate licensing per
technical adapter assuming I'll only use AS2 and X.400, do B2B infrastructure services and converter
modules included?
Cheers,
Rjay

Hello Rjay,
Seperate B2B AddOn license includes all the adpters and infrastructure services you have
listed. You need not have to buy it seperately. Everything is packaged under one bundle.
