ABAP SE37 Web Service and x.509 certificate

ECC 7.01 EPH 1
I have created a Web Service from an ABAP function module. I then created a service using SOAMANAGER and have configued it and tested it using Web Navigator. This WS uses no auththentication or username/password. It also works being consumed from a non-SAP server/application
I want to have another non-SAP server and application use this WS. Currently the non-SAP can consume it passing the user/password.
I now want to have the WS consumed using x.509 certs.
I have tried multiple methods with no success.
On the server I have imported using STRUSTS
Maintain the serveru2019s SSL server PSE.
Use the trust manager (transaction STRUST) and import the issuing CAu2019s root certificate into this PSEu2019s certificate list.
Created Web Service communication user, technical type with security roles --> zwebserviceuser
Cretaed entries in table USREXTID using transaction SM30, view VUSREXTID
external type = DN
imported non-SAP server cert into external id
user = zwebserviceuser
activated
Tthe ICM to request a client X.509 certificate. (check icm/HTTPS/verify_client profile parameter) was alreday configued
I choose tha appropriate security profile for your ABAP web service --> security HIGH
I choose in SOAMANAGER http authentication and x.509 certificate
The NON-SAP Server/application is calling the SAP WEBservice and sends the "certificate"
The RunTime error is
The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
Any Help would be appreciated
thank you,
Sarah

Take a kind look on SAP note 495911 to analyse ABAP logon errors.
Most likely you have forgotten to add the root certificate of the CA which has issued the SSL client certificate (of the WS consumer) to the certificate list of the SSL server PSE (of the NWAS ABAP, acting as WS provider). In that case the SSL handshake will be incomplete: the SSL client certificate will not be requested by NWAS ABAP and thus no SSL client certificate will be send by the WS consumer. That's why no credentials are there resulting in the 401 error.

ABAP Proxy, WEB SERVICE and RFC

Hi
I have to pull the data from XI.
I have the PDFdocument of how to integrate XI with BI.
But i am not clear what is abap proxy and web service.
Could anyone let me know basic of what is abap proxy and webservice.
Is abap proxy and webservice are present in both the systems XI&BI ?
REgards
annie

Hi,
ABAP proxy is a connection between SAP XI & BI . For all the connections need to chk in SM59, and SICF .
proxies are a replacemet for adapters whereas webservices(WSDL) are replacements for data typesYou generate proxies from an interface description in WSDL (Web Service Description Language) by using ABAP proxy generation.

The SOAP adapter enables you to exchange SOAP messages between remote clients or Web service servers and the Integration Server. Also you can use the axis framework with SOAP adapter. Check this help:

How to connect to external web service and convert XML to a table

Hi experts,
I need to connect to external/non-SAP web service and convert XML in that site to a SAP table?
Is there a function call(SE37) to do this? Is it a must for me to install AS JAVA or PI and configure enterprise service? Please provide a link for me to retrieve relevant infomation, thx.

No, you don't need PI or the Java stack for this. You can create an ABAP proxy using the WSDL file for the web service and call the web service using the proxy class in an ABAP program. You can transform the XML response to internal tables/structures/variables using a transformation template that you create.

How to call an ABAP based web service from a web page (form)

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how I can call my own developed ABAP based web service. I was able to successfully test it in the WS navigator and am now wondering what I need to do to embed the service call in a plain simply web page (form). Basically I'd like to create a web form allowing to specify the parameters and with a 'Submit' button pass the parameters to the web service and launch it.
Is this possible or do I need some kind of SDK to accomplish this?
Thanks for any hints and tips.

Excel ( VB ) to ABAP RFC WEB SERVICE Call - No Errors - Blank Output Table

Trying to get Excel talk to ABAP RFC Web Service.
- Excel - 2007 ( Since it is Excel 2007, I didn't had to add any Office Web Services Toolkit or any add on )
- ECC 6.0
Excel (VB) not throwing any error, but is not giving any output ( expecting a table output ).
ABAP RFC WebService with Uid Pwd Authentication.
Activated binding for ABAP RFC via SOAMANAGER for clnt 600.
Using WSDL of WS of Clnt 600 in Excel via VB
Basic ABAP RFC -
1 optional import param ( Input Param )
1 table output ( Tables Param )
Basic VB Call Code -
Call projHoursWS.wsm_YProjHours("", arProjHours)
To test if VB and WebService are talking to each other, when i temperorarily change the Authentication method ( uid/pwd ) of Webservice in Sicf it throws "NO MATCHING AUTH" .. So VB and ABAP WS are talking to each other.
Debugged VB in Excel, not throwing any error , but is always returning the output table (arProjHours) Empty.
Missing anything?

Hi,
Try turning on the ICF Recorder in TCode SICF (check SAP Help for usage details) to establish that the request is reaching SAP successfuly.
You'll also be able to catch the response that's being generated by SAP this way. Then turn off the ICF recorder.

Web Services and Internal Tables.

Hi.
In the next days I will need to create a program to consume a Web Service that is going to return data like an internal table, I mean...
Field1a | Field2a | Field3a
Field1b | Field2b | Field3b
Field1c | Field2c | Field3c
Do you have any ABAP example of consuming a Web Service and receiving data into an internal table?
Thanx in advanced.

Using CE 7.1 ESR with ABAP based web services requires java development?

Hi All,
When developing a web service in ABAP, what java development must I do to make the web services available in an ESR that is located on CE 7.1?
Thanks,
Regards,
Mel Calucin
Bentley Systems, Inc.

Hi Stefan,
Someone told me that the difference between CE 7.1 ESR and PI 7.1 ESR is that to register the ABAP web service into CE 7.1 ESR you need to create EJBs and that you don't need to do this for PI 7.1 ESR (since ithe PI 7.1 ESR is ABAP based). I didn't think that this was the case so I put this question in this forum to confirm this. I am arguing to put in CE 7.1 because we don't need the PI 7.1 functionality. This someone told me that we are more of an ABAP shop than a Java shop and that we don't want to develop EJBs whenever we develop ABAP based web services.
Thanks.

Mel Calucin

Could anyone send me any example, please?
Thanks in advance again!

Hi,
I'm also looking for code examples about connecting Java programs to ABAP generated Webservices... could you, please, send it to me ?
actually, I need to call bapi from a java Web site.
(as an SOAP request ...)
is it better to <b>generate webser</b>vices from the Bapi then call it,
Or shall i keep the Bapi, and call it from a java webservices based on <b>JCO/RFC</b> calls ...
what's more efficient ?
java webservices + Jco calls to the bapi ?
or direct calls to generated abap webservices ?
thanks

Diff b/w Web service and window service

What is the difference between web service and window service, whether the both are same or not, Give some explain about that each one and give some examples also.

An XML Web service is a component that implements program
logic and provides functionality for diseparate
applications. These applications use standard protocols,
such as HTTP, XML, and SOAP, to access the functionality.
XML Web services use XML-based messaging to send and
receive data, which enables heterogeneous applications to
interoperate with each other. You can use XML Web services
to integrate applications that are written in different
programming languages and deployed on different platforms.
In addition, you can deploy XML Web services within an
intranet as well as on the Internet. While the Internet
brings users closer to organizations, XML Web services
allow organizations to integrate their applications.
A Windows service starts much before any user logs in to
the system (if it has been setup to start at boot up
process). A Windows service can also be setup in such a way
that it requires a user to start it manually ? the ultimate
customization!
Windows services run as background processes. These
applications do not have a user interface, which makes them
ideal for tasks that do not require any user interaction.
You can install a Windows service on any server or computer
that is running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows NT.
You can also specify a Windows service to run in the
security context of a specific user account that is
different from the logged on user account or the default
computer account. For example, you can create a Windows
service to monitor performance counter data and react to
threshold values in a database.

Pl/Sql web service and collections not working

Web service and servlets in the same project...web.xml?

Hello, I have a problem with my web service.
I have a server, which displays a web service. I programmed this service with JAXRPC.
I have a client, in another directory. I succeded in compiling, deploying and running the web service.
The problem is that after I tried to integrate this service in an existing project. This project contains servlets. In these servlets, I'm using sessions.
These servlets are on the same side as the server of the web service. Because of the implementation of my code, I'd like to use in the class that represents the server of the service, the same session as the one I'm using in the servlets.
But of course, it's not working by itself. I know there's something to do with the web.xml files.
The thing is that I created a web.xml file for the service, and another for the servlets.
I was thinking of joining both of them in one xml file, but everything crashes then...
Could someone tell me how to create a project with a web service and servlets, and mostly how to configure the xml file??
Thanks for any help

Quick questions on the topic of Web Services and EJB POJOs

I have been reading about Web Services and the data types that are aloud as operation parameters and return types. I was wondering what the standard practice for return types; is it to use the Entity classes straight and customize the WSDL instead of letting the EE container do it (avoid cyclic problems in the schema that can occur when using entity 1-to-many and many-to-1 mappings) or; is it to off load the data into a DTO/VO/Bean and let the EE container take care of all the schema mapping for the WSDL? I look at the EE tutorial and bought a EE book both use very basic examples that do not include connecting to a database or using EJB3 for the data store.
Thanks for any information

Hi Mou,
I just tried your win app code about calling web service, but failed. I got the 500 error after I called your service:
The error message I quoted from Fiddler:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode><faultstring>System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Failed : Invalid credentials ---> System.Exception: Invalid credentials

I am not totally sure that error occurred by the authentication. But I suggest you can try to add this service into your project using this method below:
1.right click the Reference and select Add Service Reference
2.input your service link and click "Go"
And you can use this service as the following:
private async void callService()
ServiceReference1.SearchDataIndexSoapClient client =new ServiceReference1.SearchDataIndexSoapClient();
var Str= await client.StartIndexAsync(new ServiceReference1.AuthHeader { Username = "Admin", Password = "Admin" });
Please try it.

SQL Server 2008 Reporting Project - Invoke/Consume Web Service and Return Dataset in C# Code-Behind

Hello,
I have a Visual Studio 2010 C# class with a method that invokes/consumes a web service and returns an XML dataset. I am traversing through the parent/child nodes and parsing out the data then inserting it into a SQL Server 2008 R2 table for a join within
another stored procedure.
Instead of using a 3rd party API to generate the PDF for this data, I am creating an SSRS report. The formatting will be easier and I can do a RenderFormat directly to PDF.
Can I expect to be able to transfer the code-behind method to this report and have it be able to work with the web service the same way? It is a SOAP-based web service returning parent nodes and two levels of nested child nodes.
I have also been researching the approach of calling the web service in the same stored procedure that is currently querying the physical tables (which is used to populate a gridview and PDF) but it looks like it may only be possible with a CLR stored procedure.
Is it possible to implement a CLR stored procedure within an SSRS report?
Hope this makes sense. Any help, suggestion or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Buster

Hi Buster,
SSRS supports web service data source, we can call the SOAP-based web service in SSRS report directly. Then, we can use custom code in SSRS to parse the XML data. However, we won’t be able to join another data in SQL Server database.
Reference:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964129(v=sql.90).aspx#repservxmlds_topic3
We cannot implement a CLR stored procedure within an SSRS report directly. In order to execute the CLR store procedure in a SSRS report, we have to execute it as text using the following code:
Exec <stored procedure name>
Reference:
http://dotnetslackers.com/Community/blogs/bmains/archive/2009/01/15/executing-a-clr-stored-procedure-in-reporting-services.aspx

Web services and control characters

Hi,
We are using JAXWS and JAXB to create web services. We have a problem with our current data because it sometimes contains "bad" characters, such as control characters. Is there a nice way for us to remove these characters when creating the messages or when retrieving the data from the database? We use java persistence / hibernate to retrieve the data from the database.
I would prefer a method that doesn't include having to "clean" each string manually...
Thanks!

hi, i�m doing something like you but in jbuilder that is another IDE, i don�t know if it is useful for you but i entered to the help of jbuilder and i wrote in the index "web services" and then i found a topic called : "export classes as webservices" and in that place i can see some steps to follow, may be in eclipse you can find something like this.
