Acknowldegement in asynchronous scenario: is it sync or async

Dear community,
in an asynchronous scenario with a fault message type defined for the inbound interface, the handover of a message from XI to receiver consists of two steps:
Step 1: XI will send a message to the receiver
Step 2: The receiver will acknowledge positively or negatively.
Will Step 1 and Step 2 be handeled synchronously or will it be handeled asynchronously for async scenarios ?
The background of this question is resource-related. If the processing of a message is synchronous, processing of these two steps would block resources, which would be problematic for higher volumes.
Logically it seems as if this would all be async but I could not find a detailled spec and I need to know for sure.
Thanks a lot in advance !

Hi Jochen,
if you want to have the result of a message at the receiver you have 2 alternatives:
Synchronous:
+You get the errors at once
+You know very soon, what happend
-Bad performance, bcoz processing time may be for minutes stopped
-no connection (receiver offline) leads to an error
Asynchronous with acknowledgement:
-You get only sometimes an error acknowledgement
-The calling programm has no direct information
+Much better performance
+Queing mechanism allows automaticly and manually restart
Usually you try to build, if possible, asynchronous scenarios. But it depends on requirements.

Proxy to JMS Scenario: switch from sync to async proxy,does it makes sense?

Hi @all,
i've implemented a sync proxy to JMS scenario that works well. Backend is ECC 6.0 and Middleware is PI 7.1.
Business Case: Run a request with a number and get a response back with a corresponding entry for the number. That means, there is always a response expected.
Now the following thing appears: the receiver system could not handle many calls at one time (200 calls are planned at each run), the calls reduces the performance. Now gys at receiver system likes to develope a buffer of 10 seconds between the requests to handle some kind of load balancing with that. That means for the request that it the response takes +10 seconds back to backend. It is also possible to handle that in SAP backend with a waiting-statement in coding, so there is no need to go from sync to async - but the customer requested us to implement this scenario in async.
JMS is always async, I know. But the Service Interfaces for Inbound and Outbound are of mode sync - so I can call my outbound Interface class in backend with Importing Output and Exporting Input.
My question is: makes it sense to go from sync to an async scenario?
And how looks the coding in backend for the response? I guess that it only makes sense to switch to async when no response entry is needed (example: for write operations).
Thanks in Advance,
Stefan

> But in case of switching, what is the best way?
> Should I implement 2 senarios? Or is it ok to switch the Inbound and Outbound Service Interface from sync to async?
I don't think you need 2 scenarios for this. Just one is enough with different RDs.
Over all in this case you have to re-create/modify the service interfaces and also you have to create 2 interface mappings. You have to also create the new inbound and outbound proxies since service interface mode will be changed. For outbound proxy the code can be reused and for inbound proxy also logic and code can be taken from your old code.

Async Scenario converted to Sync by PI

Hi everybody,
we have a problem with a very simple scenario. The scenario is like following:
SOAP --> PI --> FILE. It is an asynchronous scenario. We send SOAP message to the SOAP adapter or directly to the IE. The interesting thing is, the PI system shows the call is SYNCHRONOUS. Actually we defined all the service interfaces as async interfaces. The SOAP Sender Adapter is also configured as EO.
Then we made some tests on the RWB through the Test Messages function.
1. Send test messages directly to the IE. PI says the calls are ASYNC but Application-ACK is required by the Sender. We're totally confused. We didn't want any ACK from the FILE Adapter.
2. Send test messages to the AAE. PI says the calls are SYNC and always tries to send responses back.
3. Send test messages from our C# WS Client to the PI using the URL proposed by the PI (the URL is the same as the step 1). PI says the calls are again SYNC and does the same thing as step 2.
So has anyone any idea, where the problem is?
thanks a lot in advance

Hello Shabarish, hello Prema,
thanks a lot for your quick help. I think this problem will be solved. Both of you are right. I used the WSDL wizard of ID to generate the WSDL file and used the system proposed URL. But I forgot to set the QoS.
I will try it tomorrow. Both of you helped me to solve the problem. But I can give the points to only one person. So I have to give them to Shabarish.
Thanks a lot to both of you.

IDOC to SOAP asynchronous scenario Error handling

Need an expert!!!!!!!!! advise on error handling for IDOC--PI--
SOAP scenario.This is a asynchronous scenario where PI is calling a Legacy system using SOAP adapter.My question is how i can do error handling in this scenario.If i get an alert in pi with payload variable that would be fine, do i need to use BPM and if that is tthe case what will be steps.
Appreciate your help.
Manish

Hello Manish,
My question is how i can do error handling in this scenario.
Use the standard alert framework. Search on SDN / SAP Help for details.
do i need to use BPM and if that is tthe case what will be steps.
BPM is not required to raise alerts, as this is an async call.

IS Mapping required in JDBC to PROXY asynchronous scenario?

Hi,
I am working on JDBC to PROXY asynchronous scenario. The scheduled stored procedure fetches the data from database tables and stores them in staging table in the same database. XI will fetch the records via JDBC adapter. Now these records are to be posted into SAP custom table via proxy without any transformation. Now is Message mapping and Interface mapping required in this case?

Hi
I assume that your source and traget structure will be different as you are using JDBC.
SO you will need to create message mapping and operation mapping.

How to handle an asynchronized scenario?

Hi, there:
I had an asynchronized scenario in my web application. After client side collecting information and click "submit", my servlet in server side is supposed to wrap those information in a transaction and send it to 3rd party engine, however, the response of that transaction from the 3rd party engine is asynchronized (may take several minutes).
Question:
At client side, after user click "submit", what should I do?
a. tell user transaction is submitted successfully, and ask him to check response later;
b. display some information like "please wait, your transaction is processing ..........", and my servlet keeps polling response, and send html response back after get response from 3rd party?
c. Or, servlet send response back immediately, however, somehow to get client side keeps sending request to servlet to check the status of transaction?
Highly appreciated if any suggestion or comments.
Thanks a lot in advance
David

You are waiting
for card authorization back. How do they handle those
scenario? like during waiting for response, the
client navigate to other links, or even shut down the
browser.You can't do anything about clients who don't wait for a response. You can't even find out that they didn't wait. If your response time is going to be fairly reasonable -- a few seconds, maybe up to 30 seconds -- then displaying scary warnings may persuade the client to wait. If your response time is going to be a minute or more, then you are just going to annoy people. One option in that case is to get the client's e-mail address. Then your servlet would just send a trivial response ("Thank you for your order, you will be notified when it is processed") and put the job in a queue to be handled off-line. Handling of the job would involve sending a confirmation e-mail.
Or you could provide another page where the user can keep track of the progress of his request, which your off-line system is updating whenever it does something with it.
Also, for those time consuming tasks in
serverside, if hundreds of requests come at almost
the same time, will it cause some problem in server
side? like performance, resource issue?Sure it could. There are people who do nothing but tune Web servers for a living.

Synchronous transmission with 2 asynchronous scenario's.

Hi All,
I have 2 asynchronous scenario's transferring file from one ftp location to another and vice-versa.
I want 2 start the second scenario only when the file sent by first scenario is successfully reached.
I want to know how and where to put this condition that transfer this file only when a particular file is present in that folder??
Regards,
Amit Sharma.

Hi,
For this type of requirement you can do the following:
1) Create an additional file in target directory with same name as the file is pasted in the target directory but with different extension (example .eod file ) whenever the original file is picked from first interface.
2) Now for the second Interface to get executed check if ther is .eod file existing then pick the original file. (this can be done using additional file parameter option).

Sync or ASync for a Data Warehouse environment?

We have a 7 TB DW environment that we're using High Availability on. Almost all of the data is bulk loaded nightly/ weekly. We've been running this in Sync-commit mode, but lately the Transaction Log in our Primary DB has grown to > 1/2 TB waiting on
the bulk loads to be committed on the Secondary server.
Would this scenario be mitigated if we were using ASync-commit mode? Would the TLog, no longer waiting for the Secondary to synchronize, be able to shrink as it normally would (of course considering TLog backups, etc.)?
TIA, ChrisRDBA

Hi,
Whether you use Sync or Async mirroring( I guess you are talking about mirroring) logs generated by transaction would be same. IMO problem here is logs being generated. Of course in sync mirroring transaction will wait for commit on mirror to commit
it on principal so in sync commit would be delayed there would not be affect to transaction log.
From what you gave I suggest you to break bulk load operation in more quantised batches. I mean to say decrease amount of data being loaded followed by (If possible) more transaction log backups and in this case Async would help to speed up commit but remember
chances of Data loss in case of disaster will increase in Async Mirroring plus you need to have Enterprise edition to take benefit of Async mirroring.

Sync-to-Async process

Hi,
I'm trying to call an asynchronous process from a synchronous one following the Sync-to-Async instructions available in the documentation ("Building Synchronous and Asynchronous business processes").
I can generate the Sync-to-Async WSDL file without problems but when I try to build the control from the WSDL, the callback method is never generated (the callback method is defined in the WSDL) and get this warning:
"WARNING: processes/sync/SincronWorkerSyncContract.wsdl Line 0, Col 0: Operation 'response' was not added to the CTRL file."
Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!!

Raghavendra,
You should check the syncmax wait time parameter on the server. It is this parameter that causes synchronous interfaces to time out .

Log_archive_dest_2: SYNC or ASYNC

All,
I have the following setup:
Physical standby of a primary, with a delay configured of 23 hours (5 minutes in my test setup).
With a delay, should my log_archive_dest_2 parameter contain SYNC or ASYNC?
I believe it has to be ASYNC, because I want to avoid my prod being blocked if network is down.
alter system set log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=STAN LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=STAN reopen=60 delay=5' scope=both sid='*';
Regards

Specifies that network I/O is to be done synchronously (SYNC) or asynchronously (ASYNC) when archival is performed using the log writer process (LGWR).
Note:
When the primary database is in maximum protection mode or maximum availability mode, destinations archiving to standby redo log files and using the log writer process are automatically placed in SYNC mode.

Can processes be both sync and async

Hi,
When creating a BPEL process in JDeveloper, there are two pre-defined templates for synchronous or asynchronous processes. As such, I've been viewing a process as being either synchronous or asynchronous.
However, after a bit of experimentation, I've come to the conclusion that a process can contain both synchronous and asynchronous operations.
Does this sound correct? Should I not be viewing a process as being one or the other, and it is fact the operation that is sync or async?
Cheers,
Toby

Some thoughts on that:
-You can view sync as a special form of async, so each sync process is also an aysnc process. (I'm ignoring the tech diff like two ports, two partnerlinks here)
-You can call sync and async (BPEL-) processes in one process.
-If a process P contains only sync processes, that will make P sync.
-If a process P contains (among others) at least one async processes, that will make P async.
-If you have a async process, you can wrap its invocation with a timeout, making it a sync process.

Differnce between sync and async webservices

All,
What is the difference between sync and async web services?
Actually i am looking for a web service, which doesn't return a response. is this achievable?
Thanks

SRAVZ wrote:
What is the difference between sync and async web services?from a webservice protocal perspective there is no difference. you still make a request and get a response. the difference is in what the initial response contains. in a synchronous call, the initial response will contain the final result. in an asynchronous call, the initial response will not contain the final result, but may contain some sort of "ticket" which can be used in a subsequent call to get the final result. generally, the client will need to poll the webservice until the final result is available.
Actually i am looking for a web service, which doesn't return a response. is this achievable?it's not really possible to not return any response. http is a request/response protocol. if you don't have any data to return, then the response will be fairly minimal, but it will still exist.

Naming sync and async operation

Hi there,
Does somebody know what is the rule for naming the synchronous version of an asynchronous operation (or vice verse)? Also, is the implementation pattern for the Create/Update/Delete/Sync EBO based EBS operations always supposed to be asynchronous request-response (while synchronous for Query/QueryList)?
I know that Process() can be designed as both synchronous and asynchronous, but can the aforementioned have their synchronous version as well (asynchronous for Query/QueryList)?

Dear Friends,

I need to have SYNC between primary and Standby 1 which is in same LAN

Is it possible , if so how do i achieve this?
Because i believe SYNC and ASYNC will be decided by oracle internally based on the Protection mode we choose so in that case
we can't have mix up (SYNC and ASYNC) for standby databases?

Statistics of Sync and Async messages in PI

Hi,
How can we count no of Sync and Async messages that were processed(sucessful or unsucessful) in PI.
Does the worbench has any table or Report that will give me the statistics.
Request some pointers on the same.
Thanks ,
Bhanu.

Hi,
Yes, such a report is available in RWB under Performance Monitoring. Simply choose the required time period, and use Display Options to add the Processing Mode (that will say: sync or async). You can also use Performance Monitoring to get more details about these messages.
Hope this helps,
Greg
