Could anyone please guide me for BPM Synchronous FILE2FILE steps. I am learning BPM.
Design: I want the sender file to be put to receiver. and from receiver i need to fetch the same output file and give back to the sender after transforming back to sender structure.(I want to learn the flow.).
I have created Asynchronous File to File scneario and its working fine. Now i want to enhance it to Synchronous.
Once the sender sends a file ..the receiver needs to recive the file and send the Same payload back to sender after Transformation.
IN FILE TO RFC:
The receiver RFC performance all the transformations needed and gives back the Response. But here i need to Transform the receiver structure back to sender structure and send to sender system.
Please Advice.

if u want synchronous file to file that mins in the receiver side ur adapter should sent back the responce.
but in xi only 3 adapter can sent the responce.
1 .JDBC
2.RFC
3.SOAP
so file adapter canot be configured as synchronous.
if u still want to achive this u need to configure another channel as sender and give the source directory same as the target directory of first receiver adapter and set the mode as delete.
so here u need to configure 2 sender and 2 receiver adapter , this can be achivec without help of BPM.
Yes i know File doesn't support Synch. thats the probem. I wnat to achive Synchronous via BPM in a File to file scenario(Also i knw that it can be done without BPM.). I have configured 2 sender and 2 receiver Channels. but for me the sender and receiver channel both execute at same time. how to sequence the flow in BPM.
But here i need to Transform the receiver structure back to sender structure and send to sender system.
Have u followed the blog I have posted earlier? There is no need to use transform step. The mapping is executed outside the BPM directly. There only u may map it to the file structure as required at your sender. Whats the problem then?
File doesnt support Sysnchronous as we all know. and when we try to achive Synhronous via BPM. It will not execute the Synchronous Send Step Interface in the BPM. As this step will require a Sync Interface so this interface will require Response Message(Target to Source) immediately once it process the request message(Source to Target).
Thou we will schedule the CC and have another Seder Adapter from (Target to Sender). The Synchronous interface in the syn Send step inside the BPM will fail as File wont Trigger any Response Message for the Sync Interface once the Request Message is processed.
File to File is not possible with a Synchronous Interface.
We can acheive the design with BPM in a way that it sends from Source to Target with a Asynchronous Interface(Source to Target).
and anohter Interface with scheduled CC to pick the file from Target to Source with another Asynchronous Interface(Target to Source).
NOTE: Above all can be done without BPM also. But as i had already told i just wanted to Design and check a BPM :).

when I'm rigth it is not possible to use the file adapter for synchronous scenarios. The reason is that there is the protokoll allows no response message. And you will need a response message for a synchronous communication.
Try instead to use the JDBC Adapter for a synchronous szenario. Send your select statement to the DB and receive the result set and give it back to your sender (maybe as a file).
