File - BAPI - File Synchronous scenario

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am working on a 'flat file--> BAPI --> flat file' scenario. This is a synchronous scenario in which data from input flat file will be sent to BAPI on R/3 side and from the response of BAPI a flat file will be created.

Is it possible to implement this scenario without using BPM ?

Thanks.

Hi Akshay,

Thanks for the help..

so BPM is the only way to implement such scenarios, right ?

Hi Minal,

Since is systems like file sender cannot expect reponse, u hv to use BPM in such type of scenarios.

Well, if ur query is resolved, u can award the pts rt away...:-)

Hi Mario,

Thanks for the reply..

Could you please tell me the steps to implement this scenario without BPM ?

Hi Akshay,

In this scenario, a file will be picked up from legacy system by XI using File Adapter. Then the data obtained from file will be passed to BAPI on R/3 system by XI (This should be synchronous call) using RFC adapter. As it is a synchonous call the BAPI will return some result to XI. XI should then create a file on target system using this BAPI response.

Hi Minal,

For this, you hv to use BPM

The BPM procee will look like this

1. Receive step (Receive the data from file)

2. Sync send to R/3 and get a response

3. Async send (response) to File

Hi Minal,

Can u just elaborate ur scenario, coz i cant see at wht moment XI will come into picture. Are u getting a file from legacy system which is sent to R/3 using XI ot the vice versa?
