file adapter -sync

[Former Member]

Can we apply Synchronous to a file adapter?

Hi Sunil,

You cannot have synchronous communication using file adapter. If you want to achieve similar thing, you can setup two asynchronous scenarios and club them together using BPM.

Hi Sunil,

When we use any adapter in XI , it will post the message to the corresponding target system/service. If it is a synchronous call, then it will carry the response given by the target system to the source system.

For exmpale a if we call any webservice in synchronous mode using SOAP adapter, the SOAP adapter will ping the given URL with the sournce message and will get back the reponse given by the webservice.

So when using a synchornous mode, one has to design according to target system design, whether it can able to give the response or not.

Considering the file adapter in XI , A file adapter is used to place/pick a file on remote (FTP/VAN) system . i.e when we place a file on a FTP server, it just stores the file on that specified system folder and the system can not able to give any response to that activity. It is something similer copying a file from one folder to another folder. so that is the reason , why we can not use a file adapter for Synchronous service.

No you cannot use File Adapter as a Synchronous Communication Channel.

If you want send a response from the receiver systems as a File even then you cannot use File as Sych. In this case you have to go with BPM or without BPM.

Hi Sunil

You can have a scenario like source file sending out to target BAPI.BAPI reply getting mapped to target file.

But if you want the source and target file to communicate in synch mode then not possible

it is not possible for synchronous communication using the file adapter ..

we never use file adaptor for synchronous communications .the SAP provided synchronous adaptors are RFC,HTTP,SOAP,... .. even JDBC adaptor also supports synchronous communication

the adaptors FILE, IDOC never supports synchronous communications .

Thanks
