without BPM?

[Former Member]

All,

Newbie here. We need to connect to a R3 system and call a BAPI that returns the master list for the products under a particular category and transform the result from BAPI as a XML file and put it in a FTP location.

This needs to start whenever a input file is dropped in the FTP location (this contains the catergory)

Can we do this without using the BPM? If yes, how?

Thanks.

Hey

i dont think its possible without BPM as file adapter does not support synchronous message transfer.

Hi,

I think RFC Lookup is the best solution to your problem. Going for BPM might give performance issue.

Hi,

So ur scenario is File>XI>RFC(R/3)>XI>File.

It is easily achievable thru BPM. If you use BPM, it is not required to have Async/Sync Bridge for this.

Without BPM, in one interface, I dont think it is possible.-

Hi -

There's a feature that came out in SP19 that allows you create an async/sync bridge (and vice versa) without BPM. It uses new modules delivered within the adapter framework.

I haven't tried this yet myself, but there's a HTG (How-To Guide) out there on this topic:

<a href="http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000049832007E/HowToBridgingwithoutBPM04s.pdf">How To Realize a sync-async and async-sync bridge within ADF</a>

In your case, section 3.1 (Async-Sync-Bridge at Sender Site) would be most relevant.
