Calling search services from outside sap

Dear Experts,
are there any chances to call the SES or the SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search from outside the SAP environment by passing a search query and credentials per HTTP GET Request? The response schould be provided to callee in XML form. I think i can implement a kind of adapter (BSP,WebDynpro????????), which takes the requests, call the SES or NetWeaver Enterprise Search and builds XML based on the search results. Am i right?
thank you in advance
Nicolai

Dear All,
i found a solution for my problem. i will use a HTTP-Request Handler for handling HTTP requests in SAP CRM system. I will pass a search query (some attributes of the Business Partner) to this Handler and use the function COM_SES_SEARCH_OBJECTS to perfom the search.
It is right, that i shall configure the settings in Customizing at SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Web Application Server ® System Administration® Search Engine Service (http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NW70/helpdata/EN/27/08ef417fc65f24e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm) for indexing the Business Object bus1006 (Business PArtner) and determine the RFC destination in order to use COM_SES_SEARCH_OBJECTS???
I am absolutely new to this thema und need your help!
kind regards
Nicolai

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.
REQUEST_HEADERS-DATA =
              'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.
APPEND REQUEST_HEADERS.
CLEAR REQUEST_HEADERS.
*........Convert Order Number to External Format........................
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
       EXPORTING
            INPUT = ORDER
       IMPORTING
            OUTPUT = ORDER.
*........Convert Item Number to External Format.........................
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
       EXPORTING
            INPUT = ITEM
       IMPORTING
            OUTPUT = ITEM.
*........Convert Material Number to External Format.....................
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
       EXPORTING
            INPUT = MATERIAL
       IMPORTING
            OUTPUT = MATERIAL.
CONCATENATE 'sOrder=' ORDER
               INTO REQUEST_BODY-DATA.
APPEND REQUEST_BODY.
CLEAR REQUEST_BODY.
CONCATENATE '&sItem=' ITEM

Call ABAP Program from outside SAP

Hi all,
How can I call an ABAP program from outside SAP, for example from a C++ executable, a .NET assembly or a JAVA package ? Are their "adapters" provided by SAP for this ?
Angela

Hi Angela,
as mho already stated:
For external connections to ABAP, the sap-proprietary "remote function call (RFC)" is a common way.
SAP delivers an RFC-library for this, and for some development environments SAP even offers a connector on top of this library to make connectivity more easy (SAP Java Connector, SAP Business Connector, SAP Connector for Microsoft .Net). An RFC is always starting function modules in ABAP, not ABAP programs, and these function modules need the attribute "remote-enabled".
(Remark: in the context of SAP NetWeaver Process Integration, SAP offers adapters for connectivity, also for ABAP systems.)
For ABAP systems on basis code line 6.20 and above, the remote-enabled function modules can externally be used as web services.
Information on RFC can be found in the SAP Help Portal http://www.help.sap.com, e.g. [RFC Call - Example Program|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3d/733760ccb411d2b4550060941936e3/frameset.htm]. A search in SDN provides links to the Help Portal as well.

This part is beyond the ABAP question, and my guess is pretty simple: like on any other J2EE server.

Calling web-service from non-SAP client

Hi,
Could anyone here help me with the code with which we can call the non-SAP service in java from a java client.
I have the wsdl and service deployed on the server.
Regards,
Manoj

Hi Eduardo,
We are trying to consume a non-SAP webservice (https based) which uses a certificate issued by the non-SAP web service provider for authentication.
We tried consuming the web service using the Web Dynpro Java's Adaptive WebService Model method. We configured the Logical Destinations with X.509 client certificate authentication and have added the certificate to the WebServicesSecurity keystore.
However, when we run the application, we get the 'Peer certificate rejected by ChainVerifier' error.
Could you guide us on how to resolve the same ? If possible would you also provide the step-by-step details of how to create the EJB application that you did to achine this ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Melwyn.

How do i call web services from SAP ABAP

Hello,
Ian working with .net team. they are using sap .net Connector to connect SAP. But my job is In SAP side when Purchase Requisition is created, I have to call web services from ABAP and i have to pass the Purchase Requisition number to web service(.net Program). Please help me how to call web services from ABAP and how to pass value. Any one help me with example.
Thanks
RaviKumar

Hi Ravi,
If you can call EJB from ABAP and from EJB call Web service which you want to call. I am giving code to write in EJB business method processFunction.
public void processFunction(Function function) {
   IRepository repository;
   repository = new Repository("TestRepository");
   JCO.MetaData fmeta = new JCO.MetaData("ZTEST_EJB");
   fmeta.addInfo("REQUTEXT", JCO.TYPE_CHAR, 255,   0, 0,
   JCO.IMPORT_PARAMETER, null);
   fmeta.addInfo("ECHOTEXT", JCO.TYPE_CHAR, 255,   0, 0,
   JCO.EXPORT_PARAMETER, null);
   fmeta.addInfo("RESPTEXT", JCO.TYPE_CHAR, 255,   0, 0,
   JCO.EXPORT_PARAMETER, null);
   repository.addFunctionInterfaceToCache(fmeta);
   JCO.ParameterList input =
   function.getImportParameterList();
   JCO.ParameterList output =
   function.getExportParameterList();
   JCO.ParameterList tables =
   function.getTableParameterList();
if (function.getName().equals("ZTEST_EJB")) {
                    output.setValue(input.getCharArray("REQUTEXT"),"ECHOTEXT");
output.setValue("This is a response " + table.getString("E_NAME") +" " + output.getName(1), "RESPTEXT");
else if (function.getName().equals("STFC_STRUCTURE")) {
JCO.Structure sin = input.getStructure("IMPORTSTRUCT");
JCO.Structure sout = (JCO.Structure)sin.clone();
try {
      System.out.println(sin);
   catch (Exception ex) {
       System.out.println(ex);
                    output.setValue(sout,"ECHOSTRUCT");
output.setValue("This is a response from Example5.java","RESPTEXT");
}//if
Here REQUTEXT, ECHOTEXT are import parameter and RESPTEXT is the Export parameter of Function module ZTEST_EJB in SAP.
Here from this bisuness method you can call web service which you want and give back the result of webservice to ABAP F.M.

It is not possible to directly call a web service from SAP 4.6c.
Indeed, web service enablement is available as from Web AS 6.20, thus as from SAP R/3 4.7
So as described above, the solution is indeed to make use of PI(XI) for this.

Calling web Service from the Custom Adapter.Is it Possible?

Hi Experts,
I am having requirment in which i have to cal com.sap.aii.mapping.lookup.LookupService for calling web Service from the Custom Adapter.Is it Possible?
Regards,
Rajesh.D

Hi Rajesh..
Just looking the problem in another angle.. if there is no constraint that you have to use XI specific API to call the web service, why dont you use usual Java API used for calling a web service inside you custom adapter (I have Microsoft background.. donno exactly how it is done in Java,, but in .NET kind of a language it is possible). SInce your adapter is in Java itself and is capable of calling web service.. collect or lookup the data whatever you want and validate...
Just a thought..
