Proxy-to-File scenario. Acknologements.

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We have a Proxy-to-File scenario, is it possible to receive on SAP-backend side acknolegement that the file was succesfully delivered to target FTP server.

What are the options for this requirement? The only solution I can see right now is a BPM, where there is a transport acknowlegement selected on Send step. But are there are any other?

Best Regards

You can request an acknowledgment in the ABAP proxy client code.

This is described in the online help.

Kindly check this for Querying the XI Message Header

Using this protocol you can query the fields of the message header after a proxy call.

Hi,

BPM is the only solution and File adapter supports only transport acknowledgement and not application ack.

nothing by standard other than the acknowledgment via the send step in BPM exist.

Hello Shabarish,

Thanks a lot for your response!

Maybe you know how this standart acknolegemnt mechanism works? What makes Adapter to send acknowlegemnt back to BPM? Maybe BPM sets some flag on message header?

I am thinking about somehow to simulate this without the BPM.

I am not sure about the underlying activity. But the step steps forces a request for acknowledgment in this case. I will wait to see if anybody can explain this. Will be a good info to know.

Anyway,

In case you got for a customized way, you may lose out on performance, hence since there is a standard functionality available, do opt for the same.

Shabarish,

We just want to avoid using BPM as the filesizes are pretty big and we already have sometimes problems with IE->AE HTTP call (failing with timeouts or heap size errors), but we really need this acnowlegement functionality.
