Hi Sridhar,

I am not sure, but I dont think it is possible to send an acknowledgement to a file.

One way out would be to go for a BPM that would send an acknowledgement by posting some message to a file using a file adapter.

If you need more info on how this solution can be arrived at, do let me know.

Hi Bhavesh,

Yes i too think that sending Ack. to file is not possible.

Can u let me know how we can send the Ack.. if we use BPM ... Only the confusion part is how to send the response after idoc is succefully created...

U r valuable suggestions r welcome...

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Sridhar,

The Ack is generally used in IDoc to IDoc scenario. But you can use the same mechanism in a file scnario using BPM. There are two ways u can do this

1. Collect the ack IDoc in the BPM. But u are over loading the XI system here.

2. U can create a program in ur destination system which gives the details of the incoming Idoc and u can send that as a file using ABAP proxy.

Depends on what ur requirement is?

Bhavesh,

Could u help me in providing some information on how to handle the acknowledgement in File 2 Idoc scenario using BPM and Idoc acknowledgement concepts.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

1. File to BPM

2. BPM to SAP -> in the Send Step request for Tranport Ack.

3. If you get the transport ack --> Send Ack as a file to target . you will need a mapping etc and a format in which you will decide the Ack content.

4. You would need a deadline branch to wait for the Ack for "X hours/ X minutes" and if no, then trigger the negative Ack with a Exception Branch and so on.

Hi Sridhar,

>>>>>>i need to send an acknowledgement for the sender<<<<

In File>XI>Idoc scenario, you may not able to send acknowledgements back to the file. But to handle the acknowledgements from the IDoc using Idoc adapter, refer to the how-to-guide at the following link.
