Sync Proxy alerting in SAP

Hi,

I have a scenario as follows:

SAP sender sync proxy -> PI -> JDBC (action = update_insert)

The JDBC receiver adapter will send back the number of records updated or inserted. My question is how to raise an alert in SAP based on the response from the JDBC adapter? For example if the result says no records were updated or inserted I would like to raise an alert in SAP/PI.

Do I simply define the Sender Interface to include a response and standard fault? then use a suitable method to raise a fault exception in SAP? Can the fault on a sync proxy be used in this way?

I know there is a blog that shows how to raise an alert for an async proxy scenario: Fault Message Types - A Demo (Part 1).

Thanks

Che
