ASYNC to SYNC scenario using BPM.

Question

hi,
i have a async to sync scenario. i have a File sender->PI(BPM)->ECC and the response from ECC->PI->SOAP.
Here in PI, i am using BPM. The ECC side is a Synchronous BAPI. The response is sent to the SOAP receiver.
in BPM, can someone tell me how many transformation steps do i need i.e mappings. and how many abstract interfaces, synchronous interfaces, outbound interfaces, inbound interfaces?
also how many send,receive and transformation steps.
and in the configuration part,
how many receiver determinations, interface determinations do we need.
rgds,
mithun

Hi,
File sender->PI(BPM)->ECC and the response from ECC->PI->SOAP
Service interfaces
-> SI_OB for file (Request)
->SI_IB for Soap(ASy Response)
->SI_ABstract(ASy Request)
->SI_Abstract (Asy Response)
->Si_REq_RES_ABS(Syn)
->SI_ABS(ASY BAPI REQ)
->SI_ABS(ASY BAPI RES)
mappings
one for request mapping(file Req to BAPREQ) and one for response mapping(BAPI REs to RESponse mSg).
operation mappings-2, one for Req MApping ANd One for Res ponse mapping.
IP
reciv->transformation(REq)->Send(SYN/ASYN)->transformation(RES)->Send
ID:
3 reciver deteminations
one for file to IP
IP to ECC and IP to SOAP
3 interface determinations
1 sender agrement
2 reciver sgrements
    one for IP to ECC
and IP to SOAPregards,
