XI doesn't return an xml file

[samantha_nez]

Hi,

I've made a scenario using XI 3.0. I use a file adapter with an inbound synchronous interface to send a xml file to XI. XI consumes a function from CRM using a RFC adapter and an outbound synchronous interface. I've setted "Best Effort" as quality of service too.

The xml file arrives correctly to CRM and CRM returns the BAPI result to XI correctly too. The problem is XI doesn't return the xml file which it should, that's to say, the xml file sent by XI isn't in the specified target directory (using an inbound synchronous interface and a XI adapter).

Could someone explain me what happens?

Thanks in advance,

Samantha.

Hi Samantha,

bad news: File Adapter is always asynchronous, cant get any response. And if you use an interface to send data it is an outbound interface.

To realize your business logic you must use BPM like

file (outbound asynchronous) -> BP (abstract asynchronous)

BP (abstract synchronous) <-> CRM (inbound synchronous)

BP (abstract asynchronous) -> file (inbound asynchronous)

Udo

Hi Udo,

In the business logic which you told me, can I use a SOAP adapter instead of file adapter?

SOAP (outbound asynchronous) -> BP (abstract asynchronous)

BP (abstract synchronous) <-> CRM (inbound synchronous)

BP (abstract asynchronous) -> SOAP (inbound asynchronous)

Thanks again,

Samantha.

Hi Charmantha

yes, you can. But SOAP supports synchronous messages as well, so 4 SOAP you may not need BPM. Of coz you can only connect WebServices, not files.

Thanks Udo.

Samantha,

Can you check in SXMB_MONI whether you have any errors in the flow of request message or in the response message. Also please see the communicaiton channel monitoring for the corresponding communicaiton channels whether there are any errors on them?

Satish,

In SXMB_MONI there aren't errors in the request or response, but in the adapter monitoring the XI adapter doesn't appear...

Thanks,

Samantha.

If you using file adapter for synchronous purpose it dont support as udo mentioned.
