Hi Dhanush,

There are both kind of bridge.

1. Sync-Async Bridge is used with BPM.

2. Async-Sync Bridge can be used with/without BPM.

Prerequisites:

Good knowledge of basic XI features.

Good knowledge of RFC/tRFC concepts.

Good knowledge of BPM architecture and concepts.

Example to understand <b>Async-Sync Bridge</b>.

Suppose from the calling side, the HTTP request arrives as an asynchronous document into XI. As a result, it is persisted immediately in XI and the calling application can move on. On the receiving end we would like to call the BAPI synchronously because the PO number will be immediately returned. This is referred to as an asynchronous-synchronous bridge. Then we would like to send this response, containing the PO number, asynchronously to an external legacy system.

Sync/async scenarios may also be implemented without BPM.

Henrique,

I agree with you. But the term Synch-Asynch <b>Bridge</b> is applicable only for BPM isn't it ? Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Henrique,

I'm really sorry, what to do I doesn't even know the meaning of bridge ..

Please read my reply, I said the <b>term</b> and not the scenario. I didn't reply to argue with you Henrique. I replied just to make my understanding clear.

Anyhow thanks for your valuable reply...

Hey Raj,

don't mind it.

I just wanted to say that the term bridge is mostly used in BPM, yeah, but it could be used to represent any sync/async scenario where you need to create a link between 2 asynchronous and a synchronous interface.

Best regards,

Henrique.

Henrique,

I'll never mind friend. Thanks for providing experienced and valuable solutions. I really appreciate your work....

Have a nice weekend...

You need a bridge only for a sync to async scenario. If you have a async-sync scenario you can implement it without the bridge in BPM.

Dhanush,

Yes we have Synch-Asynch Bridge, but no idea on wht is that Asynch-Synch Bridge. You can do a search, probably u might get lots of references.
