Demonstration on using SYNC/ASYNC Bridge in BPM

By M.Leela Ratnam, Satyam Computers

We will design and configure a BPM scenario using Asynchronous/Synchronous Bridge, i.e. we will send a message to XI using a Web service Client and XI will in turn make a synchronous BAPI call to an SAP ERP system and then route the response to the Web service Client. In our scenario both sender and receiver are synchronous applications. BPM was required as the response was also being routed to a legacy system. By this scenario you will know how to use S/A Bridge in BPM and how to execute the scenario using Microsoft Info Path.

We will use the RFC function module BAPI_MATERIAL_EXISTENCECHECK in this scenario. The request message would contain the Material name and the response message would return the corresponding details of the Material like Type, ID, Number, and Message. A file containing request message would be picked by XI, then the response will be synchronously received from the SAP ERP system and the same will be routed the target system.
