Default synchronous message response - is this possible?

[anthony_bateman3]

I have a scenario whereby a web service triggers an IDoc. The consumer of the web service just wants to see a response message that states the message was successfully received and being processed.

Under such circumstances, is there a way to send a default message back, without using the BPM engine?

Hi,

IDoc by default are not synchronous. You can probably use Async-Sync bridge using BPM only. I dont see any other way to trigger message without BPM.

Else you might want to consider the long route of two separate interfaces without BPM. One sending the IDoc and another interface where you can use a abap proxy program to check whether the idoc is there and send a flag to XI as Yes/No and accordingly send the response to the webservice. You need to come up with some logic to identify the idoc number based on date or time etc.,

Simple way would be to just send them back the common reference number in the idoc for them to identify that it has reached ECC safely.
