Use PI as "Application System" instaed of "Integration Server"

Question

All,
i have quite complicated scenario in which:
message is sent ECC > XI, this mesage triggered number of sub-interfaces XI>OraDB (via jdbc), each sub-interface activate DB stored procedure (which returns large data volumes). all returned data should be "re-packed" into IDocs which are submitted back to ECC.
I tried to encapsulate all "sub-interfaces" in a simple ECC->XI proxy interface generated coed, and implement the DB calls as XI>DB (Proxy2JDBC) interfaces. in order to enable these interfaces (for which the start point is XI) i had to change the XI (at sxmb_adm and SLD) to "Application System" instead of "Integration Server". at this point i re-tested my proxy interfaces ECC>XI and they were not working?
how can this be done?
any other possible solutions to the above scenario?

Does your sys. Admin is aware of what you are trying to do?
You better not....
Don't let your customer define the interface to you.
You are not just a SAP PI developer.
You should be looking at the whole business process and
tell the customer what is the best way to implement the interface.
And so, I believe this integration dilemma can be simplified.
Good luck.
