Proxy notifications

Question

I am using ABAP proxies to drive many of my interfaces and I find that since the proxy is triggering in R/3, there is no way  I can use my XI alerts. Do I need to code exceptions in the proxy code and handle them as workflow with notfications or is there a standard solution available?

Teresa,
The XI alerts are meant for failures for the steps originating from XI. Your dependence on XI alerts will be based on two scenarios:
A) Synchronous call to R/3: You can fill the return errors in the Fault Message Type or in the Response itself. Then in XI you can handle the alert / exception correspondingly.
B) Asynchronous call to R/3: In this case, the XI alerts will not relate to the application errors in R/3. So, you can have both the XI alert and the proxy code to help handle exceptions. The XI alerts can be used for all non-application errors, and in the proxy code, you can build the workflow or other error handling logic.
Hope this helps,
