BPM Creation

Question

Hi Folks,
I have a scenario like this,
I am getting file from FTP system using FILE ADOPTER to the XI system.
Once I get the file into XI system I should send confirmation message to FTP system saying that "I got the file" kind of stuff.
I am very sure that we have to BPM for this,
Can any body give me the step by step documentation.
Thanks
M

Answer 1

System acknowledgments used by the runtime environment to confirm that an asynchronous message <b>has reached the receiver.</b> Means you can check for the system availability, FTP address/FTP parameters is right etc.
Application acknowledgments used to confirm that the asynchronous message has been <b>successfully processed at the receiver.</b>
Using BPM, you can handle System Acknwoeldgements, with the the help of Send System with Acknowledgement context(mode)

<i>where once XI system receive a file we can send some kind of message to the FTP.</i>
Can be done as mentioned above.
For this , you can easily do, in such a way that, once you recieve the message in BPM, you can send the "Success" message directly to the Sender.
But I don't think there is any importance for that. That means, just recieveing the message and telling the sender that I have got the message. In this case, if error happens only in picking of the files right ? For this you can go with Configuring the Alert (for Adapter Errors- in SP14 and above) whenever there is any error in the getting the file into the XI.
Hope this helps,
