Call external URL from ABAP userexit, capture data and return it to SAP?

My apologies if this question has been asked before, but I've searched for a few hours today and haven't found anything directly related to my question.  Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide!
I would like to be able to make a call from an SAP userexit during Sales Order Entry in the VA01 transaction in the SD module to an external website, allow the user to capture some data in the external site and then pass that data back into the userexit where I can use it to populate internal tables, etc.
I'm completely unfamiliar with Web Dynpro programming, but this seems like a good place to start my search for a solution. 
Does this sound like a problem that can be solved with Web Dynpro and what documentation or code examples should I reference to go about building such a solution.
I should also note that I'm hoping to build a solution that could be called from any userexit in R/3, SAP ERP, SAP CRM, etc. and would obviously need to learn about what dependencies to consider (ex: SAP GUI version, SAP product release number, Web AS release, etc.).
Eric

Thank you for the response.  Let me provide some additional information.
The external application will be a Hosted Web page.  It is not an SAP system. 
The external application will be a web page served by a separate system outside of the company domain(shouldn't matter what the technology is I would think - but the web page will be hosted by a different company than the one calling the URL) that would appear as a web page in which the user will enter data, logic will be performed on that data and then some or all of the data would need to be passed back to the calling point in SAP.
For practical discussions it doesn't matter to me if the call in ABAP occurs in an SD userexit, in a custom report, in an HR screen or in a CRM business partner screen.  There will be many places where this external application may be called from and I'm just trying to figure out how to call an external HTTPS URL and return data from that web page to the calling point in ABAP.
I hope that clarifies my question.
Thanks!
Eric

  • Calling external Java from ABAP using JCo?

    Does anyone know if one can use JCo to write a server application that can be called from ABAP.
    We are presently using JCo to communicate from Java to SAP.
    But we need to call an external Java program from within ABAP.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks for any input.
    Fred

    Hi Gregor,
    I was hoping you would reply to this -- these posted messages had been here for quite sometime now.
    Anyway, here's the case. Our Basis team is installing the JCo in our SAP development server. This is our first time to implement this technology, so no one has a clue at all.
    Got a couple of questions for you...
    1. What do we need the JDK for? Is it mainly for editing, running, and compiling java files (e.g. Example5.java)?
    2. Does the JDK need to be installed at the SAP server as well? Or it doesn't matter, as long as the java files will be accessible from where it was installed at?
    Thanks for any response!

    This depends on the version of your Netweaver Java AS. If you are running 7.0, you will have to use the Jco framework. The Jco framework is deprecated since 7.1 though. If you want to build a RFC server in 7.1 or higher, it is adviced that you set it up through JRA.
    Implement an RFC server in 7.0:

  • Call http url in Abap - Should not open Browser

    Hi Friends,
       I have a requirement where i need to check whether a perticular http service is running or not. For that i need a some code to call http url from abap and it should not open the browser. If that perticular url is not found or time out then i should know that in program...
    Is there any way to do that..

    just run the following url (after changing the values for host,etc) from browser
    http://<abaphost>.<domain>.com:<port>/sap/public/ping
    to get the values for http://<abaphost>.<domain>.com:<port> just go to transaction se80 and choose bsp application option and choose any existing bsp application and then doubl click on a page. on the right side click on the attributes tab and at the end you can find the url

  • Calling external URL with POST data

    Hi:
    In my action bean I have to call and external URL (outside my domain), and along with this URL 'POST' data. I have tried the following code:
    try {
    FacesContext lclFC = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getFacesContext();
    lclFC.getExternalContext().getRequestMap().put("x_loc_zip","94804");
    lclFC.getExternalContext().redirect("http://www.mysite.com/personals/search/search.html");
    } catch (IOException e) {
    throw new FacesException(e);
    finally {
    lclFC.responseComplete();
    This works fine in calling the other URL, but no data is sent thru the post protocol. I have no control to the site I am calling....
    I have also tried
    ExternalContext ectx = FacesContext.getInstance().getFacesContext().getExternalContext();
    HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) ectx.getRequest();
    HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) ectx.getResponse();
    RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher("http://www.mysite.com/personals/search/search.html");
                   dispatcher.forward(request, response);
    But this tends to put a "/" at the front of the called URL. Can someone please recoomed the coorect way to call a URL from yr action bean and sending it data thru post protocol. I also wish that this new URL should now be displayed within the browser. This is urgent, yr quick reply is appreciated

    Myfaces sandbox form gives the ability to change its action url and port. Look here:

    Yes, SAPHTTPA (runs on application server) and/or SAPHTTP (runs on front-end pc), one of which, is required for HTTP communication.  So far, nothing too elaborate as far as SOAP goes, but the logic is simplistic.  Here's some sample code:
      DEST = 'SAPHTTPA'.
      TRANSLATE HOST TO LOWER CASE.
      MYURL = 'wssrvTest/Service.asmx/GetByOrderItem'.
      CONCATENATE HOST MYURL INTO MYURL.

      CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
           EXPORTING
                INPUT  = MATERIAL
           IMPORTING

      CONCATENATE 'sOrder=' ORDER
                   INTO REQUEST_BODY-DATA.

For more information, please see SXPG_DUMMY_COMMAND_CHECK: Interface for Extra-Check Function Modules.
    TOO_MANY_PARAMETERS
    The command definition specifies that user-specified arguments for the external command are not allowed. However, an additional string of command arguments was specified.
    PARAMETER_EXPECTED
    The command definition includes the placeholder character ?, which signifies that additional user-defined arguments are required. However, no additional arguments string was supplied.
    PROGRAM_START_ERROR
    An error occurred while starting the external command. The R/3 system field SY-MSGV1 contains additional information on the problem.
    PROGRAM_TERMINATION_
    ERROR
    An error occurred while trying to obtain the return code of the external program. The R/3 system field SY-MSGV1 contains additional information on the problem.
    ILLEGAL_COMMAND
    The external command definition was modified "illegally". That is, the command was not modified by means of the maintenance function (transaction SM69).
    The modified command is registered in the system log in its substituted form. The message is registered under the system log ID "LC".
    OTHERS
    Catch any new exceptions added to this function module.
    Hope this will be useful.

  • Call external application through Abap WD application

    Hello All,
    We are trying to call an external application using ABAP.  The details are as below
    1) SAP server on AIX OS
    2) External Apps server: Windows OS
    The external apps takes a file located on windows as input and generates a file on windows as output. The external appls is installed on the windows OS.
    We are unable to trigger the VC apps from ABAP.( AIX OS).
    Appreciate if you can guide and give some examples. Please note that the OS are different.
    Questions:
    1)  How to access windows file system to execute external appls from ABAP ( AIX)
    2)  Would a RFC be required to be made between ABAP and the windows server where external appls is hosted
    3) Any sample code/links is really help ful
    We were able to get it working when the applications was hosted on local file system ( desktop) . Two problems are getting the appls executed on remote and different OS accessing windows file system through unix ( AL11 should help here i guess)

    What is the dump? also you should uncomment the following lines to receive the exception thrown by the FM
    * EXCEPTIONS
    * FRONTEND_NOT_SUPPORTED = 1

  • Opening an external URL from the Web UI

    Hello,
    I want to use the Web UI in order to open an external URL.
    I know it can be done easily using JavaScript, but the URL is generated from one of the page controller methods, and I want to open it directly from there.
    I know that there's the Window Manager in the Component Controller, that can open popup windows, but none of it's methods receive an external URL.
    So how can I open an external URL from the Web UI methods?
    Thanks,
    Udi.

    Hi,
    you can use the Trnsaction launcher with OP.
    in the window you create an OP_X
    with the code
      data: lv_navigation type ref to     if_crm_ui_navigation_service.
      lv_navigation = cl_crm_ui_navigation_service=>get_instance( me ).
      lv_navigation->navigate( iv_link_id = 'ZTO_X' ). "runtime you create the TO_X nevigation"
    in your implamentation class of the view you add a preotected method OP_TO_X with the code
       data:
        lr_window type ref to cl_bsp_wd_window.
      lr_window = me->view_manager->get_window_controller( ).
      lr_window->call_outbound_plug( iv_outbound_plug = 'TO_X'
                                     iv_data_collection = iv_data_collection ).
    and you call to that method from the EVENT_HANDLER you want.

  • Error while calling java program from ABAP

    Hi Experts,
    We are trying for RFC inbound scenario.
    We followed the below blog
    /people/gregor.wolf3/blog/2004/08/26/setup-and-test-sap-java-connector-outbound-connection
    We are working with SAP JCO 3.0.2
    We are getting the error : 'STFC_CONNECTION' could not be found in the server repository.
    After I run the Java server program if I execute the RFC destination directly from SM 59 it is showing successful messages.
    If I stop the java program then this RFC is failing. Based on this we concluded that RFC to Java connection is working fine.
    But as mentioned in blog if we call the RFC Destination from ABAP program it is giving the below error,
    'STFC_CONNECTION' could not be found in the server repository.
    If we test the RFC destination using RFC_TRUSTED_CHECK standard FM we are getting the below error.
    'RFCPING' could not be found in the server repository.
    We create the RFC destination of Type : TCP/IP as exactly mention in the blog.
    Please help us in resolving this issue.
    Thanks
    Prince

    Pabi,
    Using the RFC connection,we can establish a link between Java and SAP.
    Afterwards,hope we can call Java program from ABAP.
    Below is the sample piece of code to establish RFC connection(link) between Java and SAP.
    DATA: REQUTEXT LIKE SY-LISEL,
          RESPTEXT LIKE SY-LISEL,
          ECHOTEXT LIKE SY-LISEL.
    DATA: RFCDEST like rfcdes-rfcdest VALUE 'NONE'.
    DATA: RFC_MESS(128).
    REQUTEXT = 'HELLO WORLD'.
    RFCDEST = 'JCOSERVER01'. "corresponds to the destination name defined in the SM59
    CALL FUNCTION 'STFC_CONNECTION'
       DESTINATION RFCDEST
       EXPORTING
         REQUTEXT = REQUTEXT
       IMPORTING
         RESPTEXT = RESPTEXT
         ECHOTEXT = ECHOTEXT
       EXCEPTIONS
         SYSTEM_FAILURE        = 1 MESSAGE RFC_MESS
         COMMUNICATION_FAILURE = 2 MESSAGE RFC_MESS.
    IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
        WRITE: / 'Call STFC_CONNECTION         SY-SUBRC = ', SY-SUBRC.
        WRITE: / RFC_MESS.
    ENDIF.
