How to request Acknowledgement in SOAP Client consuming Async XI Web Servic

[Former Member]

I have an Async XI Web Service that is being consumed by third-party SOAP Client application. My client wants to recieve a transport level acknowledgement or Application level for a SOAP message that they are sending. How can they program their client application to request Acknowledgement?

What we really want to do is pass some unique # to client application every time they call the Web service and they can later check the status of earlier call they made using the unique number assigned first time.

I have done this using ABAP proxy as a client application but how can this be achieved by third-party SOAp client application (e.g. PeopleSoft)?

I will appreciate any guidance.

Thanks,

second link clearly mention that "Sender adapters of the Adapter Engine do not request any acknowledgments".

First link mention that some functionality supported for the receive adapter.

If its you mandatory requirement to send unique number back then one option is writing your own module to send the unique number back.
