Changing user who calls Enterprise Service dynamically

Hello all,
I'd like to call Enterprise Service as Portal logon user.
As you know Enterprise Service is implemented on ECC, it always requires ECC's user/password when I access it.
Off the top of my head I may use logon ticket, but it does not work well for Enterprise Service.
I've already done the system configuration to use logon ticket - setting profile parameters of ECC, importing client certification and so on.
What I tried:
1. Create Destination at "Web Services Configuration: WS Destination"with following parameters:
Destination Type: WSDL
URL: http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bc/srt/xip/sap/ECC_SALESORDERCRTRC?sap-client=800&wsdl=1.1
Authentication: HTTP Authentication, Logon Ticket
2. Try to test ES at "WS Navigator"
-> When I search ES in destination which I created, the following error occurred:
Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized. The requested URL was:"http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bc/srt/xip/sap/ECC_SALESORDERCRTRC?sap-client=800&wsdl=1.1"
When I changed destination's settings as follows, testing ES at "WS Navigator" succeeded.
Authentication: HTTP Authentication, User ID/Password(Basic), apply fixed user
But I'd like to change user who calls ES dynamically, because I want to set the user who creates sales order to Portal logon user.
Could you give me any advice?

hi lkue,
Please see my weblog @ https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/7891. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] When you create SM59 HTTP destination, select "send logon ticket" or "logged in user id /password" . This will automatically use logged in user id dynamically.
Hope it helps you and solves your problem.

Call Enterprise service in BPM Process

Hi,
I define a BPM process for PO creation
In the first Lane : Purchase requestor
In the second Lane: Approve Process
In the third Lane: Create PO(Enterprise Service)
Here in the first lane iam giving the below attributes
Requestor Name
Requestor Country
Product ID
Product Descrption
This will be send to second lane i.e Approver Process
Once he approved it should create a PO in Hu2 if he reject it should goto first stage
I consumed Enterprise Service from HU2 and i published in service registry
Now i created automated activity and imported PO create service in BPM flow seccussfully.
Now my problem is to write code in webdynpro.
How to write code for below process?
In the second lane i.e Approver Process i should write a code that if it approve goto third process i.e call webservice which which creates a PO .If it rejects goto first process??How to write this code?Plz can u help Iam new to coding moreover to webdynpro...
Regards
Shwetha.

Hi Shwetha,
The following part of the documentation explains how to prepare your Web Dynpro DC so that it can be used in SAP NetWeaver BPM:
https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/48/cae1791e774da5e10000000a421937/frameset.htm
The important thing to know is that SAP NetWeaver BPM is waiting for a complete event to be triggered in your application. Once this is received the process flow continues.
So in your case you would simply create two Web Dynpro user interfaces. The first one for entering the data and the second one for reviewing / approving / rejecting the data.
In the first case you would have some sort of "submit" button, which triggers the before mentioned 'complete' event. SAP NetWeaver BPM will then take the data that is visible in the Web Dynpro context of the interface controller and continue the processing.
The second case basically works the same with one little difference: Here you would have two buttons - one for the approval and one for rejection. Both will trigger the 'complete' event, but should set a field in the Web Dynpro context (e.g. "isApproved") differently. While the "approve" button should set it to "true" the "reject" button would set it to "false".
So once this step is also completed you could make use of gateways and conditions (https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/47/635cb242bf6831e10000000a421937/frameset.htm) in your proces model to determine if the data should be passed to the service for PO creaton or if it should handle a different situation in case of a rejection.
If you're new to SAP NetWeaver BPM it might help having a look at the documentation first and also browse through some sample models as they are provided here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-bpm?rid=/webcontent/uuid/006a16ad-a3ad-2b10-4e9a-af2ee5820848 [original link is broken]

Calling Enterprise Services through xMII Web Service action block

Hi All,
I'm calling some Enterprise Service through xMII Web Service action block.
After providing URL and user credentials, I'm getting error "SOAP Service could not be loaded: The element type 'p' must be terminated by the matching end-tag '</p>'."
Can anyone point out what might be the reason ?
Thanks,
Sumit

If you haven't already, try using the browser from the xMII server machine rather than your own (client).
The error that you recieve usually means that instead of a WSDL an HTML is being returned when you use the WebService action block.
Possible reasons - as Jeremy pointed out - improper credentials or some error with the webservice itself.
Another thing you can possibly try out - use some web service analyser to access the webservice . There's one that goes by the name StrikeIron which is a freeware.Pretty neat tool.

Is it possible to change user in call transaction ??

Hi experts,
There is a custom RFC FM wich makes some call transacion (for example to ME21N) and is invoked from .NET. The user logged in that moment is 'USER1' but the client wants user 'USER2' to appear in standard tables (EKKO...) and in ME23N. It's not possible that the client loggs on with USER2 as he needs the password and we don't like to share it whith them.
I found this:
l_Fecha = sy-datum - 1.
CALL FUNCTION 'BDC_OPEN_GROUP'
    EXPORTING
      client   = sy-mandt
      group    = 'maria'
      user     = 'USER2'
      keep     = space
      holddate = l_fecha.
(code for the batch input)
CALL TRANSACTION 'ME21N' USING i_bdcdata
                           MODE w_mode UPDATE 'S'
                           MESSAGES INTO i_messtab.
CALL FUNCTION 'BDC_CLOSE_GROUP'.
SUBMIT rsbdcsub
WITH bis = sy-datum
WITH fehler = space
WITH logall = space
WITH mappe = 'maria'
WITH von = sy-datum
WITH z_verarb = 'X'
EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
AND RETURN.
But when the PO is created, the user is still USER1.
Is it possible to change the user at any moment ??
Thanks in advance !!
Regards,
Marí

Hi
You are using ME21n which is and ENJOY transaction.
To update ENJOY Transactions use BAPIs instead of BDC.
because ENJOY transactions are built on control framework which use ActiveX controls (like Grid).
These new transactions should make life for the end user a bit easier, since SAP transactions not always accelerate in design, logic, etc. That's why SAP has introduced these new transactions which in the end, will have the same result. In these socalled 'Enjoy' transactions, SAP started using these 'new' enjoy sap controls like ALV grid, text editor, HTML viewer etc.
For 'updating' Enjoy transaction (BTW: You are NOT updating the transactions, but rather the purchase order or whatever) you will have to use BAPI's (or FM for that matter) in stead of BDC since Enjoy Controls work with a different framework in which you can not call a certain screen and field. Like in an ALV grid, not every field has it's own screen field name. So you cannot use them in BDC.
Hope this makes any sense for your question. As BDC is not reliable for your tcode.
Thanks DP

Mapping ALE functionality to Enterprise Services

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am in an assignment to leverage Enterprise Services in the project and as part of it i need to understand how we can use Enterprise Services for the following requirements which are well supported by ALE/Idoc functionality.
1) Master Data Distribution - We have ALE Change Pointers mechanism to track the changes done to the master data (Customer/Material/Vendor) and we can process the changes and create the idocs for the same by EOD. Changes are tracked based on the field level and interface level(Message Type). How can we leverage this change pointer mechanism in Enterprise Services.
2) Best practice to trigger the Outbound enterprise services from ECC system.
3) There are various tools to monitor IDOCs in ECC, what all are the tolls/transactions for monitoring the Enterprise Service.
4) What is your view on IDOC V/s Enterprise Service
Regards,
Pras

Hi Prasanna,
These are two quite different technologies and framework here that your questions are about. One is SMD (Shared Master Data) tool which involves change pointers & IDocs and the other is an Enterprise Service for example an ABAP Proxy or a Web Service.
1. Why would a customer want to do that especially for standard master data applications like Customer Master, Vendor Master, Material Master etc? I mean I don't understand the benefit of it when all these standard applications already support SMD. If a customer really wants these same functionalities via an Enterprise Service then they basically have to develop more custom applications to support this - for e.g. a Z program which will essentially replace BD21 to process the change pointers (CP) per application i.e. call the associated ABAP Proxy which will then create/do not create IDocs, process the CP by applying business logic, generate XML for PI to distribute further, email/do not email business owner, change the status of the CP depending on the outcome of the processing, exception handling etc. etc. But this whole thing, in my view, is cumbersome and sort of unnecessary as most of these things could be achieved via the SMD tool (except creating the IDoc itself of course!)
The other way, to totally get rid of the CPs and process every change via ES - one would have to enhance all applications in question to call the ES (ABAP Proxy) at the time of master data change! There is no equivalent of BD64 in ES so I don't understand the purpose to be honest.
2. In my view, to trigger it as an Outbound Proxy or Client Proxy via Method call.
3. SXMB_MONI
4. Like I said in the beginning, its like comparing two different technologies - I guess in the end it comes down to the business requirement at hand. Both can be very efficient (or very inefficient if deployed incorrectly).
Cheers,
Sougata.

Understand the technical base for Enterprise Services?

Hi all,
I am trying to understand what is the technical base for enterprise services and the restrictions when activating them. The best documents I have found are:
Note 1566412 u2013 Enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0.
Note 1359215 u2013 Technical prerequisites for using enterprise services
sdn blog u201CDetermin the SOA readiness of your System with the ES Workplace (Part 1 and 2)
EHP Master Guide - https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001183052011E
The documents are quite informative, however there are still questions. Maybe someone can shed some light of these:
1.) Is my understanding correct that Enterprise services can have three different base u201Cmodulesu201D?:
a. An EHP (with relation to a business function).
b. The swc u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D (without relation to a business function). E.G. ES Bundle "Bank Communication Management".
c. The SWC u201CSAP APPLu201D (without relation to a business function). E.G. u201CBusinessPartnerERPUpdateRequestConfirmation_Inu201D
2.) Is it possible to activate enterprise services (bundles) that rely on business functions after a EHP installation or ONLY during the EHP installation?
3.) Is it possible to activate enterprise services with base u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D after a EHP installation or ONLY during the EHP installation?
4.) Is SWC u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D a u201Ctechnicalu201D business function, whose activation cannot be reverted either? If yes what effect has the activation von u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D on the current ERP customizing?
5.) How do the Enterprise Services relate with Service Interface definitions from SAP Process Integration (XI Content)?
Do I need the XI Content with the service interfaces in ES Repository (and SPROXY) only if the communication is B2B (with PI) or also if the communication is Point-2-Point (without PI)?
Thanks for your feedback!
Chris

Hi Chris,
I'll try and provide answers where I can...
1.) Is my understanding correct that Enterprise services can have three different base u201Cmodulesu201D?:
I personally don't agree with this understanding. Enterprise Services would always relate to some or other business function, unless we have a different understanding of what "Business Function" means . What changes is how the Enterprise Services (or versions of them) are delivered.
SAP APPL for example would be relevant to most of the enterprise services shipped with a standard ECC EHP*. So it will relate to the business functionality for the applications that are shipped with an ECC installation.
2.) Is it possible to activate enterprise services (bundles) that rely on business functions after a EHP installation or ONLY during the EHP installation?
I don't understand this question but I'll try and offer a generic answer. You can activate/use Enterprise Services whenever you want to as long as they are already available in your current installation. If they are only available in an EHP that you don't have yet then you will need to upgrade (but I also seem to recall some workarounds - SAP notes - as an alternative to upgrading).
3.) Is it possible to activate enterprise services with base u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D after a EHP installation or ONLY during the EHP installation?
You decide when you would like to activate it, it's generally after. SAP will ship them anyway.
4.) Is SWC u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D a u201Ctechnicalu201D business function, whose activation cannot be reverted either? If yes what effect has the activation von u201CESA ECC-SE 60xu201D on the current ERP customizing?
There is a tool call Impact Analyzer, read up a little on it. It allows you to do an impact analysis before activating. It might also help posting a separate thread on of the ECC functional forums here on SCN for more impact analysis. I'm not sure if the activation can be reverted.
5.) How do the Enterprise Services relate with Service Interface definitions from SAP Process Integration (XI Content)?
The XI Content is the design equivalent of the Enterprise Services as you see them in SPROXY. It's only relevant in certain cases, examples:
- If you want to enhance standard SAP Enterprise Services
- If you want to do additional transformation/s & routing.
If you are planning P2P type communication, then the XI content is not relevant. One thing to be aware of though is if you have your backend ECC system connected to your PI ESR, the view that you get in SPROXY will reflect the SWC view of the ESR. So you might want to download the XI Content & import it into your PI ESR anyway.

Enterprise Service publish in SR with "Not Released State".

Hi guys,
i need someone who can help me with this problem, please.
I've model an Enterprise Service in the ESR, then i´ve implement it in an Ecc 6.0 ( Generating the Proxy and inserting the business logic ).
Note : When i´m trying to generate de proxy the state of the Service Interface is "Not released", but i can´t change this status, but when i save and activate it no errors appear.
Then in the Service Registry i search this Service published, The crazy thing is that i can see it published in the SR but i can´t consume it in the Visual Composer because it not appears in the Service Registry search menu. I can only see the WS that i published manually without modeling it directly from the Ecc 6.0.
Regards,
Diego Rodriguez.

Hi
You can change this in the Enterprise Services repository. Please go to the Service Interface > Mark it editable > From the menu options on top, choose Properties > and one of the properties there is Status, which will be not released.
Mark it as released.

Rathish

Consume Enterprise Services in Java Application

Hey guys,
I'm very new in this field, maybe you can help me how to start....
I want to call Enterprise Services (asynchronous, provided by SAP) from an external java application. Therefore I want to configure a integration scenario between two business systems: java application (consumer) and sap application system (service provider). Maybe you can help me to answer the following questions.
1) What kind of adapter I have to use in communication channels?
2) Have I to define outbound/inbound interfaces for Communication Component "sender" (business system: java application)?
2) How does the communication between the java application and IS work? What kind of API I have to use - some kind of advanced adapter engine ... JCO, JCA ???
Is there any demo scenario from sap? Please help me to start
Kind regards,
Christian

Hello,
problem is you are using wsimport on web-service which uses RPC/encoding. Wsimport use JAX-WS so it is not able read it.
You should wscompile.bat instead it.
Here is example :
wscompile.bat -gen:client -d build/classes -s src -keep config.xml
(-gen:client -says to generate classes for client
-d - directory where to store classes
-s - directory where to store sources
-keep - to keep source file
xml file
Where config.xml looks like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/config">
<wsdl location=
"http://something/yourws?wsdl"
packageName="org.your.package.client"/>
</configuration>
I hope it will help.
best regards

Enterprise Services and PI

I am looking for some white papers / blogs on calling SAP Enterprise Services via PI. I would also like to get sdome idea of the following points:
1) A typical scenario using Enterprise Services
2) Is it possible to extend Enterprise Services as one might a BAPI, in order to enhance it specifically for a customer?
3) What is the performance like compared to posting IDocs via PI?
4) Is it better to call Enterprise Services via XI, or directly into the ERP system?
Kind Regards,
Tony.

Hi,

Realationship enterprise service - application/entity service

I read some books about ESA and CAF but I still don't know the relationship between enterprise services in ESA and application and entity services in the Netweaver DevStudio (CAS framework).
Are application/entity services also enterprise services? Or is there a difference?
Thanks for your answers.
Joachim

You can consume SAP Enterprise Services. You can also participate in the definition of the Enterprise Services through the ES Community (see ES Community under Enterprise SOA in SDN) and even create your own Enterprise Services. You can use whatever web development tools you like. In Netweaver Java stack, you can use CAF to implement or develop Application Services (where business logic is coded) leveraging Entity Services taping into your local or remote data model(s). Enterprise Services can be modeled and coded in CAF Application Services but you can use plain J2EE as well. In SAP case, the interfaces for Enterprise Services are defined in XI (input/output/exception). Their implementation happen in the appropriate SAP solutions like ERP where business logic can execute against appropriate data.
Practically CAF Entity Services cannot be called Enterprise Services unless you want to. They just perform basic CRUD (create/read/update/delete) operations on an data object. They're more like utility services. But like Anton's mention of "Private Enterprise Services", what's private remains your own business!

How to make a PDF form call Web service and return a static pdf for user to print?

Hi all,
Can anyone help me regarding the feasibility of using PDF forms for my following case?
I would like to create a Dynamic pdf form. User only have the Acrobat reader. they can enter some information. Then have a submit button. when user click the submit button, it can call the web service with data. then Web service returns a Static PDF document based on data and the user can print it out. (and maybe save as separate pdf file)
1. Is that possible to implement? Because I know PDF can call web service, but dont know how it handle when the webservice returns another static PDF document. could it able to handle the responds and open up in another acrobat reader?
2. As I understand I need to have Live Cycle Designer to create a pdf and make it Reader Enabled. So user can user reader to call webservice? am I correct?
3. What minimum reader that user need to have? PDF reader 7 or above?
4. I have a webservice serve the same purpose for web. But if I want the same web services can serve both web and PDF form. So, whatever client (PDF or Web)make the web service call, server returns the PDF document to client. Is that possible ? Do I need to make any changes on web service?
5. Do I need to get any other Adobe server product? (other than Live Cycle Designer )
Thanks a lot

We have done a similar approach in the past and yes, it can be doable.
1. Is that possible to implement? Because I know PDF can call web service, but dont know how it handle when the webservice returns another static PDF document. could it able to handle the responds and open up in another acrobat reader?
Srini: We have developed a Servlet to talk to Webservice. Based on the Webservice response, the Servlet, prepares the Byte stream and sends it to Webbrowser to display as a PDF. The PDF data was submitted to Servlet in XML format.
But if you do not want to use the above approach, then you have to use the Workbench Process.
Submit the PDF data to a Workbench process and the inside process, execute Webservice Service with the data. Once the response is received, prepare the data XML and render a PDF with it.
To do this, you need LiveCycle Server and Reader Extensions server component.
2. As I understand I need to have Live Cycle Designer to create a pdf and make it Reader Enabled. So user can user reader to call webservice? am I correct?
Srini: If you want to use the Servlet, you can Reader extend the PDF with Acrobat.. But if you want to submit the data directly to Webservice, then you need Reader Extensions server component.
3. What minimum reader that user need to have? PDF reader 7 or above?
Srini: Not sure but Reader 8 and above should work.
4. I have a webservice serve the same purpose for web. But if I want the same web services can serve both web and PDF form. So, whatever client (PDF or Web)make the web service call, server returns the PDF document to client. Is that possible ? Do I need to make any changes on web service?
Srini: If you use the Servlet approach, then you can re-use the same webservice. But if you want to submit directly to the same webservice, you may need to change it to suit your data XML.
5. Do I need to get any other Adobe server product? (other than Live Cycle Designer )
Srini: If you use the Servlet approach, you do not need any server component but other approach, you need Livecycle Server and Reader Extensions server component.
Thanks
Srini

After sql server 2012 installation, I have changed sql server database engine service account from network service user to system user. What is disadvantages of this process?

     After
sql server 2012 installation, I   attached my production db. Because of some reasons, i
changed sql engine account from network service user to system user by means of sql server configuration manager.
     Now , there isn’t
a problem at sql server running system. But
I have doubts that
this can produce problems later. Because sql server database engine account must have privileges that listed below;
Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)
Replace a process-level token (SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege)
Bypass traverse checking (SeChangeNotifyPrivilege)
Adjust memory quotas for a process
(SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege)
Permission to start SQL Writer
Permission to read the Event Log service
Permission to read the Remote Procedure Call service
While sql server installation, setup gives these
privileges to network service user automatically, but changing user by means of sql confugarition manager does not give these
privileges.
Now, system user has privileges listed below. And sql server has been running for 1,5 months without any problems.
Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)
     Bypass traverse checking
(SeChangeNotifyPrivilege) (Everyone user has his privileges. So i think that system user has this privilege also)
What problems can occur because of this situation? Shall i give other privileges to system user and restart sql server or not? And how can i give these privileges to system user listed below;
Replace a process-level token (
this can be set from user rights assignments)
Adjust memory quotas for a process
(this can be set from user rights assignments)
Permission to start SQL Writer (
? - give advice )
Permission to read the Event Log service (
? - give advice )
Permission to read the Remote Procedure Call service (
? - give advice )

Our server is windows server 2008 r2 enterprise edition. I have looked the bunch of permissions in user rights menu that is in local security policy settings gui.
And i have seen those permissions below were not granted to system user;
Bypass traverse checking (SeChangeNotifyPrivilege)
Adjust memory quotas for a process
(SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege)
So, briefly you say, don't panic ?

Trying to identify what to change for user who has permissions on a library but gets no search results from the library

We are running SP 2010 service pack 2.
Search is working for people in general.
Yesterday user Y asked me why they (user Y) does not get results when they search for documents in the library. They get results back when searching other libraries.
The library has a limited number of users who can access.
The user is explicitly added to the library's permissions with Read permission.
When I look inside the library at specific documents, the user is listed as having Contribute,Limited Access privs on each document.
As an admin, I have accessed the site and performed searches and gotten results. Others on the site with various permissions get results back.
So it appears that search is working.
What other things can I check - via powershell perhaps - to help identify and resolve user Y's dilemma?

What we found is this.
At the site level, only 4 users have access. At the library level, 3 more users were added directly and given read permission.
These three users could see the contents of the library, read the documents of the library, but when they attempted to search the library, got "Access Denied".
I was able to negotiate for a resolution of this problem for us to create a new SharePoint group for the site, give it Read permissions,
and add that group to the library permissions. I informed the owner that he could check other libraries and lists and remove that group if there were things there that should not be accesible.
I also warned him that if he were to put something confidential in, say, the announcements section, he would need to remove the group from that list as well if he didn't want the people to see that.
So, the users now can see the results page, which is returned as a URL immediately under the site.
There were a couple other work arounds that we could have tried - moving the shared library to its own subsite with different permissions than the parent site, or having the users use the enterprise search and to refine the results down to the specific library.
Thank you for your question!.

Keep GUI, change from database-call to web-services-call. Possible??

Hi.
I have an APEX-application with several pages. Every page have code for getting/inserting data from/to an Oracle database, using PL/SQL.
We now want to look at the possibilities of keeping the userinterface (GUI) of the pages, but change the underlaying code to call web-services to retrieve data/insert data, instead of calling the database directly (so the users won't see any changes).
So here is my questions:
- Is this possible?
- Is this quite "straight forward" ?
Hope anyone can help me out on this issue :-)
P.S. The APEX-version is 3.0 or 3.1 (not the newest one)
Best regards
Sverre, Norway

Hi Sverre,
I have the same task. What did you finally decide, to keep the Apex UI and migrate from database to web-services or to develop a new UI?
If you chose to keep Apex, do you have any progress in migration?
Thanks,
Anton.
