Filter-out reply

Consider this data flow for a request document:

A --> Sync.SalesOrder --> Mapper --> Process.SalesOrder --> B

Application A sends a Sync.SalesOrder. The mapper changes the verb to a Process.SalesOrder and delivers the verb to application B.

• Implicit routing

  Application B sends an Acknowledge.SalesOrder to application A. Application A is not expectingAcknowledge.SalesOrder since it sent a Sync verb and generates a Confirm.BOD.

• Explicit routing

  You can model an additional data flow for reply:

  B --> Acknowledge.SalesOrder --> Filter

  Application B sends an Acknowledge.SalesOrder to the Filter component. All reply documents are filtered out and no Confirm.BOD is generated.
