IDOC-XI-File Scenario -Response?

[Former Member]

I know how to configure R/3 to send IDOC to XI, and then XI-File configuration. I read how-to doc on acknowledgment, it assumes the receiving party is also on R/3 where they configured AUDIT to send response from receiving party. But this case is receiving party is non-SAP Application.

How to handle acknowledgment to update the status records on sending IDOC in this scenario?

Hi kumar,

You can use a business process for handle exceptions:

IDoc -> BP -> File

ALEAUD <- BP

(both asynchron)

Create a exception branch which u refer in ur send step (and in other steps). There u send a error ALEAUD to R/3. If no error u should send a success ALEAUD.

Thanks for your answer.

I have another question, getting confused with part/partlyless(LS and != LS) senderReceiver situations in IDOC scenario.

Can you help me understand how these (party/partyless) would effect IDOC-XI-File Scenarios?

Thanks.

Kumar,

If you want a response from a file, you will have to use a sync-async bridge and generate the response out of BPM.
