Hi Rohini,

Sync/async communication enables a synchronous sender system to communicate with a receiver system that cannot process synchronous messages.

The central component of sync/async communication is the sync/async bridge, which enables the Integration Server to receive synchronous messages from a sender and send them to a receiver as asynchronous messages. Conversely, it can send the asynchronous response from the receiver back to the sender as a synchronous response.

To do this, you define an integration process, which is started as soon as a synchronous message is received from the sender system. The process uses a special receive step to open the sync/async bridge, sends the received message to the receiver system asynchronously, and waits for the asynchronous response to arrive from the receiver.

The Business Process Engine receives the asynchronous response from the receiver, correlates it with the corresponding query, and activates the waiting process, which then sends the response back to the sender synchronously.

There is an example of the Sync/Async Bridge in th SWCV: SAP BASIS.

Hi,

sync/async brdge is used to exchange messages between synchronous interface(expecting a reply back) and async interface.

For eg. your RFC to File scenario.

Here is an eg. with stepwise explaination:
