Response from Synchronus Proxy

Question

Hi ,
I am sending data from FILE-XI-R/3 through ABAP Proxy to create purchase order.
I want to send back response(PO number created) from Proxy to XI .I want to
keep the response in XI itself.
Do I need BPM to achieve this scenario since FILE adapter is asynchronus?
Thanx.
Rekha.

Hi,
your BPM can look like this:
receive step (FTP adapter) -> transformation step 
(mapping from file message to proxy.request) -> send step
(send proxy message) sync step so you can get the
request -> then if you want you can put another
transformation step to map proxy.response to something
else and send it or not...
you have to create one mapping (file to proxy.request)
if you want you can also do proxy.response to something else)
the same goes with interfaces mappings one or two
if you want you can also use BAPI (wrapped) instead of
usinf proxies as most probaby you'll be using the same
BAPI inside your proxy call
the scenario would be the same but you would use RFC
apdater in the send step
BTW
the bapi you'd have to wrap is: BAPI_PO_CREATE
