3rd Party Web Service Integration

I am a complete beginner with SAP Process Integration. I could do with a simple 'To Do' List on what I should do and in what order to do it so that I can 'talk' to external 3rd party web service. In a nutshell, I will be using 3rd party web service to create document for eventual printing, so I will need to populate XML with various database fields. I have been provided with the WSDL files for the web service.
Appreciate any help, o matter how small.

Consuming 3rd party web service in Java web dynpro application

Hi All,
I am working on a scenario where external(3rd party) web service has to be consumed in WD Java application. I am provided with WSDL file. Let me explain how I usually consume other webservices:
     Create model->AWS model->Remote Location/file System->provide url->create/choose service group->finish
     Then I would generate the code in custom controller by applying template
      I assign provider system as local for the service group in nwa.
This is normal process to me. I am struck with this 3rd party web service. Please share your ideas on the same. Any help is highly appreciated.
BR,
Manoj

I ve created a provider system pointing to where 3rd party WS resides. i am trying to connect through WSIL. While pinging that provider system, I don't see that particular WS(that I am gonna consume). And while assigning this Provider system to service group, processing state getting 'Failed'.
What could be reason?

Need to restart OAS server to find a 3rd party Web Service

Hi everyone,
I have the following problem. I am using Oracle Application Server 10g (version 10.1.2.0.2).
I have deployed a J2EE web service to this App Server and from within this service I call a 3rd party Web Service (.NET) to a remote system. It works fine.
However when the remote server for some reason restarts my web service noway can find the remote web service. I get a connection timeout exception to my logs.
With a standalone client that I have to the same machine where the Oracle Application Server is installed I can call directly the 3rd party web service with no problems at any time so I am sure that there is no connection problem.
If I restart the Oracle Application server then the J2EE web service finds the remote web service again.
This means that whenever the remote server falls and recovers I will need to restart my Oracle Application Server as well, to let my web service find the remote web service. Crazy isn't it?
Does anyone knows what happens??
Thanks

All depends on the service. You can not just access a service. You need things like if the data is JSONP or if they have instructions or keys etc. You need to just follow the instructions the service will offer on how to connect to it.

Consuming 3rd Party Web Service - Proxy Generation Error

Hi All,
I am trying to consume a third party Web Service in SE80 and get the below error while completing the steps to configure proxy class.
"Exception Occurred in Configuration Handler"
Uninstantiated object "new child subject" in method
IF_SRT_WSP_SUBJECT_SERVICE~CREATE_BINDING of class CL_SRT_WSP_SUBJECT_SERVICE
The same web service when I try to import in Java it is fine. Has anyone encountered this issue?
Note: I tried both using URL and also saving as local file and its the same error message.
Thanks,
Nagarajan.
The Question is still open.
Edited by: Nagarajan Kumarappan on Oct 10, 2011 9:40 AM

The problem we had was with the web service itself. There were in multiple places we had few definitions repeated which caused the issue. Once we removed it we were good. Use altova xml free for 30 days to check your wsdl. It's great tool to identify issues.
Thanks and good luck !!!

Making SOAP calls to a 3rd party Web service with PeopleCode

Hi everyone :) I'm new to PS and have two questions (the first is most important):
1. Are there any good resources for using PeopleCode to make SOAP (or even GET/POST) requests to Web services hosted outside a PS environment? I found [this page|http://www.zutshigroup.com/site/tech/peoplesoft_soap_example], but it doesn't appear to connect to a remote WSDL.
2. How does development work, exactly? I'm used to the standard web languages where you launch a local dev server like IIS, launch an IDE, build code, and view the output in a browser. Does the PS model work like this?
I am a developer for a company who offers Web services and am soon going to be remotely connecting to another company's PS dev environment to develop some sample code for them that integrates our services with their PS. I have no experience with the platform and due to the complexity of the PS installation won't be able to try it out before I begin developing. I would like to get as good a feel for this platform as I can before the meeting.
I appreciate any information you can give me on sample code resources, workflow concepts, etc, but my question is primarily about SOAP requests. I can research the rest.
Thank you!

Hi,
Not sure if that App Package is available in versions below 9. But, I think it should be available since PS internally does use the same App Class for integrating with Tax softwares like Vertex and Taxware. Also that example is used when one does not want to make use of any IB Objects...
You can definitely go ahead and make use of Standard IB Objects to Consume and Provide a Web Service in PS...
Would like to know, if PS is the Consumer or the Provider?
If PS is the Consumer then you can have a look at the code below ...

Configuring PI SSL for communicating with third-party web services

Hi,
I'm trying to load a COMODO certificate into a J2EE environment running in NetWeaver 7 (no enhancement packs), in order to connect to an external web service using SSL
I have been looking at this reference:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/a0/a5d13f83a14d21e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
and in this document (and many others i've read) it talks about requiring a server key pair to support SSL.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/f1/2de3be0382df45a398d3f9fb86a36a/frameset.htm
My question is - is there a way to use the self-signed root CA certificates instead of having to generate CSRs and sign certs? I ask this because it seems completely impractical to have to generate key pairs for each SAP installation that is required to access a third-party web service.
Furthermore, the SSL connection may only be for the web service and I'd rather not have to ask that the entire J2EE server is switched to SSL in order to make this secure connection. I've recently discovered the AXIS framework for the SOAP adaptor however I'm not familiar with it and can't identify whether you could use this for the SSL handshake and avoid having to a) generate certificate key pairs and b) switch your J2EE server to SSL
Does anyone have experience connecting to a third-party service using VeriSign, COMODO or Thawte certificates and can clear this up for me?
Regards,
John

Did you resolve your issue?
I´m posting some comments that maybe can help newer administrators facing similar doubts.
I´m using NW PI 7.1 EHP1 also and some interfaces were developed for using an external site providing web services through SSL (HTTPS) connection.
As in browser navigation, secure sites protected with SSL has a certificate emited by a international CA. We didn´t perceive the "handshake" in the most of cases because normally the web browser has a group of trusted CAs loaded on its certificate store.
With SAP PI and its WAS Java a similar procedure occurs with a small difference. The WAS Java didn´t have the trusted CAs loaded on KeyStorage. So, when the adapter tries to establishing a connection with an HTTPS site (it is a background process) a "handshake" is required to accepting the certificate and produces a error.
We completes the handshake importing the entire certificate chain (you can upload the site´s certificate to your browser and export it as file) on Keytore under the Trusted CAs view.
Hope this can help someone. It´s an "easy" part of SSL communication.
Now I´m trying to configure the inverse: Some third party consuming the PI web services using SSL. I have an additional component on inbound/ incoming connections that is the SAP Web Dispatcher.
The Help.sap.com is the reference but as always its a little difficult to find the (sequential) path following the links (go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go back, go back, go ahead)...

SOA Suite 11g calling external third party web service

Hi All,
Our SOA 11g application needs to communicate with an external third party web service (outside SOA composite and our 11g environment). Basically our SOA application will make a request based on date and the external web service will return a collection of data for that date.
Please suggest how do I achieve this. What inputs will I need from the external third party. I am using SOA 11.1.1.4
Thanks

You will need the WSDL of the third party web service to be able to consume it. Based on the wsdl you can generate the request structure then invoke the service.
Also do check with them if there is security associated with the webservice like HTTPS, any soap header that need to be passed, etc ....
Based on this you will need additional configuration on your side.
Thanks,
Patrick

Silverlight 5 WebBrowser Control - Is the SL5 WebBrowser control is set to work in IE7 mode only? I have a 3rd party web site i'm hosting and now they will not work with IE 7 Compatibility mode. Looks like this control can't detect I'm setup for IE 9.

Silverlight 5 WebBrowser Control - Is the SL5 WebBrowser control is set to work in IE7 mode only? I have a 3rd party web site I'm hosting and now they will not work with IE 7 Compatibility mode. Looks like this control can't detect I'm setup for IE 9. I'm
running IE 11 with registry hack for IE 9. I think the SL5 webbrowser control is set to work only in IE 7. can some one verify this or tell me how to set the WebBrowser control up to run either IE8, 9, 10 or 11? I have same issue with machines running IE 8
and above. This Silverlight 5 application is running out of browser with the elevated privileges (hack) and at test certificates install in proper stores. This application has been running for 2.5 years. Vender switch on some changes a couple days ago that
broke this application. Help!!

Hi,
It seems there is nothing to do with IE mode.
Please make sure your link still can be accessed.
The WebBrowser displays HTML content in applications running in a Silverlight 4 or later out-of-browser applications or in Silverlight 5 in-browser trusted applications only.
For more infromation,please check link below:

Web Services Integration issues on Oracle Web Service Example Page..

The Oracle hosted pages for the Web Services Integration, all of the applications are dying when you try and run them. 1/2 of them are having ACL (Access Control List issues)..
Don't know if this is because of the change-over to APEX 4.0 or a new version of teh database being used, just though Oracle should know and they MIGHT want to fix them..
Thank you,

Tony:
Thanks for pointing that out. They should now all be fixed with the exception of the Amazon sample. Amazon changed their API some time ago to require a signature parameter, I blogged about this here: http://jastraub.blogspot.com/2009/10/rest-now-supported-in-flexwsapi-and.html.

Apple Web apps versus 3rd party Web apps

There would appear to be some confusion regarding the use of Web apps on the iPhone; specifically, whether the iPhone warranty is voided if a Web app not currently offered on the Apple site at: http://www.apple.com/webapps/, is used on the iPhone. The issue came to light when a poster suggested using the iPhone Pixel Fix Web app (http://www.ebaspace.com/iphone-app/#_home), intended to resolve issues with stuck or dead pixels on the screen.
My understanding is that the use of any Web app that is not Apple approved automatically voids the iPhone warranty, no matter how innocuous it may seem or be. However, it may be that some users consider 3rd party Web apps, such as iPhone Pixel Fix, to be "allowed", as they run on locked/legal iPhones, and are not downloaded onto the phone.
As usual, I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong. May I have your thoughts, advice etc.?
Cheers.

jia10,
Web apps were available even before Apple posted the web apps directory. The information about each web app in the web apps directory is supplied by the submitter which is usually the author. Being included in the web apps directory does not indicate endorsement, recommendation, etc on the part of Apple, it is a directory of available web apps.
No web app should be able to void your warranty, regardless of the site it is posted to, unless it were to exploit a known or unknown security hole. For example, there was a web app that would exploit a security hole to "jailbreak" the iPhone. That was fixed in a previous update to the iPhone.
The Pixel fix web app cycles the colors on the iPhone screen several times using Javascript. It does not install anything on the screen. Essentially it tries to do the opposite of screen burn in. Whether or not it will work, I do not know.
However, using a web-based application that does not overwrite system files or modify the file system, does not void your warranty.
Installing third-party native applications or files that require you to crack the iPhone file system could potentially cause damage to the iPhone's firmware, and would void your warranty.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

3rd Party Search Engine Integration - some property not rendering

Hi,
I have tried to integrate a 3rd Party Search Engine into TREX following the published example.
I have successfully integrated and search results from the 3rd party engine are showing up.
However, some properties like cm_description, cm_contentlength, cm_modifedby are not rendering; their value are null; the search layout are specified correctly.
I only managed to set
1) cm_displayname
2) cm_contenttype
3) cm_id
and are showing up.
The setting of the rest of the properties are done in the same way and put into the propertymap.
Any idea why are the not rendering?? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Thilo,
I tried to deploy the original package com.customer.search.par, but unfortunately I got also an error with this package.
The disadvantage is, that I don't get an error message during start-up in one of the logger - for cause analysis.
I got the following error message within KM:
java.lang.NullPointerException
     at com.sapportals.wcm.repository.runtime.CmSystem.getResourceImpl (CmSystem.java:774)
     at com.sapportals.wcm.repository.runtime.CmSystem.getResource (CmSystem.java:325)
     at com.sapportals.wcm.repository.runtime.CmAdapter.getResource (CmAdapter.java:81)
     at com.sapportals.wcm.portal.service.KMServiceImpl.afterInit (KMServiceImpl.java:260)
     at com.sapportals.portal.prt.core.broker.PortalServiceItem.__initServiceInstanceStep2(PortalServiceItem.java:736)
What can I do at this point?
Best regards,
