Core Web Services: Definition of...

Hi there,
I'm not a native English speaker, so I'm having a hard time trying to translate the word 'endpoint'.
W3C defines WSDL as "an XML format for describing network services as a set of ENDPOINTS operating on messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented information..."
The definition uses the word 'endpoint' several times.
Could anyone help me here, by defining it, in a clear way?

A web service "endpoint" is a URL that identifies the server host/port and web app. that services calls to a particular web service ... at least that's what it is in practice when the web service is implemented in Java using toolkits such as Axis and JWSDP.

Unable to Find The Created Web Service Definition in ECC

Dear All,
I am creating a RFC function module from which I am creating a web service definition using the wizard.
In Configure Service 'soap:runtime:application:rfc:710' is present. The definition creation is ending without a hitch.
When I go to WSCONFIG, I enter this created definition name in both 'service definition' and 'variant' and click on 'create' icon. Message 'No released service exists' comes.
Also in WSADMIN, the created definition does not reflect under 'SOAP Application for RFC-Compliant FMs'.
What am I missing here.
Suggestions are most welcome!
Regards,
Prosenjit.

lol, haven't you read Venu's posting? He's right. When you start transaction WSADMIN you get a popup telling you that this transaction is obsolet and asking you to kindly read the long text which in turn reads:
The transactions WSADMIN and WSCONFIG will remain active until all old web service configurations have been migrated, which means you can continue to configure web services from 6.40, NW04s, and web service definitions from the XI 3.0 environment. You can also continue to access the runtime configurations of old service definitions using these transactions.
However, new service definitions created in the ABAP development environment will be hidden in these transactions.
RSWSCONFIG, afaik, is also applicable to old webservices only.

How to view web service definition details using Netweaver ?

Hi,
I have installed Netweaver 7.01 trial version, and I have seen using the Web Service Browser, that all BAPI's are exposed as web services already. I would like to view the web service details for some of these BAPI's, in order to understand the authentication, authorization details for these as I plan to try and call these through java.
I basically want to understand whether they are using BASIC authentication by default or configured to use something else.
Any guidance on this is appreciated.
thx,
-Kev.

Did you try unpublishing it ...
HOW CAN I DELETE SERVICES IN THE SERVICES REGISTRY?
The concept of the Services Registry sees the content of the registry as a mirror of the various backend systems from which you publish into the registry. To ensure consistency, you should not manually delete service definitions from the registry, but instead it is recommended to use the publication rules functionality of SAP NetWeaver Administrator (Java) and SOA Manager (ABAP) to u2018unpublish' service definitions that are no longer required.
However, if you still need to delete service definitions, you can make use of the corresponding API and manually remove service definitions.

How To Debug XML Serialization Error while deploy web services

My Scenario
I've created a Java Projects with a Class. From there I convert it to Web Service by creating the virtual interface, the web services definition and the web service configuration. After that I deploy to the SAP WAS (SP11). At this instant I only try to deploy the web services with the intension to modify it later for GP to invoke.
Result
When deployment the Web Service I get an XML Deserialization error. Error text is below.
Question
How do I go about debugging this? What logs are good starting point? Can I capture the entire SOAP response message somehow?
Thanks

Hi Paul..
 This is a common problem when you are working with webservices, i have worked with them and not always the response of the ws comes like de wsdl says, depends of your wsdl provider.
 I suggest you that checks your response of your webservice with the Enterprise Portal Web Services Checker View
For see this view in NetWeaver go to Window > Show View > Other > Enterprise Portal Web Services Checker
Put the wsdl url definition in wsdl url textbox
and the click in the letter W, this procedure brings you all methods and everything for play with the WEB Services.. and you can check the response of you webservices call funtion, checks that all the tags comes like says in the wsdl
Good luck

Data Federator - Building Web Services Data Source - Request Guidance

Hello -
I am trying to build a web services data source in Data Federator.
I have:
1. In ECC, I have created a web service, proxy, port, endpoint, etc. and am testing it with WS Navigator
2. I have created a Project in Data Federator of the type web service
 a. Here I have assigned the WSDL URL (generated in ECC) as the URL
 b. I have setup web service authentication using the same userid, pwd in the web services definition (note: I have set the
 web services authentication to 'NONE' to avoing authorization issues)\
 c. I am now trying to "Generate Operations"
I keep getting the error :
The File Access Parameters are not valid (directory path = <HERE IS THE PATH TO THE WSDL WITH THE HOST/PORT stripped OUT>; file pattern = document
I believe that it is finding the WSDL, becuase when I change the WSDL from 'Document' to 'RPC', the error changes with the file pattern = rpc.
What needs to be done to the file access parameter piece.
PLEASE provide guidance. Thanks.

Ananya,
We are using XI to load data to BI from source system. XI basically uses the same concept as Web Services - Real time data concept via RFC embeded in Proxies.
I was using web services to test data load - eventually we will use XI.
KJs blog is pretty good. I was able to get data loaded - after several iterations and several OSS notes. It is still not perfect - there are several manual steps . I am going to pick KJs brain on that.
We are on SP10 and looks like there are several bugs in RSRDA. Some of these are addressed in SP11 an SP12.
Some notes to consider are
0001003963, 0001008276,0001009260 and 001003265.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Infopath 2013 SOAP Web Service Data Connection - Error: The file is not a valid XML file

Here are the steps to replicate the issue I’m having when adding lists.asmx or any other SharePoint web service in InfoPath 2013. This web service opens fine in the browser from my desktop. My account is a farm administrator and is added to the
web application’s User Policy. I can use these services just fine using Nintex 2013 Workflow.
Open InfoPath Designer 2013.
Select Blank Form and click Design Form button.
Click “Data” tab.
Click “From Web Service” and select “From SOAP Web Service”
Enter https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL for the web service definition.
Click Next.
Windows Security window pops up.
Enter a credential. I tried both my account and the farm account. My account is a farm admin and is added to the web application’s User Policy with Full Control.
Click OK. It prompts for credential multiple times.
I get below this error messages:
Sorry, we couldn't open https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL
InfoPath cannot find or cannot access the specified Web Service description.
The file is not a valid XML file.
Not enough storage is available to process this command.
We have a project that is in need of these services using InfoPath so any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Brian_TX,
For your issue, try to the following methods:
Change your service binding in web.config to:binding="basicHttpBinding". It seems in VS it defaults to wsHttpBinding.
Replace all instances of "parameters" from the web service wsdl with the name "parameter"
There are some similar articles about the issue, you can have a look at them:

How to create Web Service based on PI WSDL message

Hi all,
we have following scenario:
Within PI (version 7.1) we set up a message type and inbound service interface. This service interface should send the PI message to a web service running on a SAP J2EE (version 7.01). As the PI message is sent as WSDL I thought it should be easy to build a web service on the SAP J2EE based on this WSDL from PI.
Unfortunately, I have problems creating the Web Service.
For my current project we integrated the NWDI to the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio and I'm required to add the Web Service to an existing DC (Development Component) within the NWDI.
What I tried so far is:
- I created a Deployable Proxy Project and within this I created a Client Proxy Definition based on the WSDL from the PI. But I can't add this Proxy to the DCs of the NWDI and I don't know how to implement my own coding here in order execute specific functions.
- I created a new class within the NWDI DC and a public method. Based on this I created a Virtual Interface and a Web Service Definition (WSD). Then I added this to a Web Service Deployment Descriptor. I uploaded this to the SAP J2EE. But I'm not able to access this and I don't know hoe to assign the WSDL here.
I also tried here to create a client proxy based on this WSD as I thought I might assign the WSDL here. But I don't see the WSD in the list of Web Services uploaded to the SAP J2EE...
Can you please advice me how to create a Web Service in such an environment?
regards
René Jurmann

Hi Tahir,
sorry that you needed to wait this long - but this is how I created the web service:
The steps on how to create the web service in NetWeaver Developer studio are nearly the same as described in the blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/5838. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
Some steps I just skipped and some others I added. Some of the steps I did the way I described it as I needed to connect the web service with the SAP PI.
Prerequisites:
Add Java Perspective and J2EE Development Perspective to the open perspectives.
Within "Window - Preferences - Web Services" check "Soap extensions visible in the virtual interface editor"
The SDM of the corresponding SAP J2EE is configured within "Window - Preferences"
Create a Development Component (DC) with type "J2EE -> EJB Module"
The business logic of the web service will be implemented in an Enterprise Java Bean (EJB). So first the EJB component must be created:
 Choose "File -> New -> Other"
 In opening PopUp choose "Development Component -> Development Component Project"
 Select the Software Component for which you want to add the DC (e.g. "Local Development -> MyComponents")
 Choose now vendor, name and type:
 vendor is an alpha-numeric string of 20 characters starting with a letter - all in lower case
 name is an alpha-numeric string starting with a letter - all in lower case
 vendor and name concatenated must not be longer then 40 characters
 the name can be separated into different part using "/" as separator
 each part of the name must not be longer than 8 characters
 the type is "J2EE - EJB Module"
 you can specify a Caption as general description for the web service
Create new EJB
To create the EJB itself:
 In J2EE DC Explorer of J2EE Development Perspective expand new DC and right-click on folder "ejbModule"
 Choose "New - EJB" with following details:
 EJB Name: <name as for PI service Interface to be created - starting in upper case>
 EJB Project: <pre selected>
 Bean Type: Stateless Session Bean
 Default EJB Package: <corresponds to namespace in PI>
 generate default interfaces: Checked
Regarding the "Default EJB Package" this should be created according the namespace in PI for which all PI objects will be created. This only applies if you have some naming conventions here.
Example:
Namespace in PI is: http://company.net/pi/SOFTWARE_COMP/Application
The corresponding package then is: net.company.pi.software_comp.application
Implement coding for web service
As the web service will be called via PI some transfer variables will be submitted. Most likely, those variables will not be standard type (e.g. String) but a complex type. Those types must be generated as Java classes. Below an example of a complex type I needed:
Data Type
net.company.pi.software_comp.application.types.MessageProcessingInformation
Structure:
 Element name Element type
 sendingSystemID String
 interfaceID String
 businessProcessVariantCode String
 testIndicator Boolean
For every element described a public "get", "set" and "has" method must be created in the corresponding Java class:
package net.company.pi.software_comp.application.types;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class MessageProcessingInformation implements Serializable {
 protected String sendingSystemID;
 protected String interfaceID;
 protected String businessProcessVariantCode;
 protected Boolean testIndicator;
 public String getSendingSystemID() {
 return sendingSystemID;
 public void setSendingSystemID(String value) {
 this.sendingSystemID = value;
 public boolean hasSendingSystemID() {
 if(sendingSystemID != null && !sendingSystemID.equals("")){
 return true;
 return false;
All Java classes representing complex types and all classes referenced here (used for sub-types) must implement java.io.Serializable. Java standard types which do not implement this class must not be used as sub-types.
As soon as all data types are declared the real business logic can be implemented:
 In J2EE DC Explorer of J2EE Development Perspective expand DC - "ejb-jar.xml" - <Name> and double click on "ejbCreate"
 In detail view select folder "Business Methods" and click "Add"
 choose name of business method - this should be the same as the PI message type used for the service interface - starting lower case
 return type should be "void"
 add needed parameters fully qualified - including package (as specified in PI and created previously in DC)
 you can mark certain parameters as array if necessary
Remark:
It might be that after saving you get an error. This might be as the package name of one component is copied to the corresponding Java class at the very beginning (before the package declaration within the Java class). Simply delete the string here.
It also might be, that the new business method is only defined in the remote interface class but not in the bean class. Just create an according method in the bean class.
Within the newly created business method within the bean class you can now implement the business logic.
Create a DC with type "J2EE -> Enterprise Application"
In order to create the "real" web service and deploy it to the J2EE an Enterprise Application project has to be created. So create a new DC as for the EJB Module but choose as type "J2EE -> Enterprise Application".
After the DC is created right click on the EJB DC and choose "Add to EAR Project". Choose the new DC.
Create web service for EJB
As soon as you implemented the business logic you can create the "real" web service. Therefore:
 Right click on the EJB name below "ejb-jar.xml"
 Choose "New - Web Service"
 Choose proper "Web Service Name" and "Configuration Name" (probably oriented at the EJB name)
 Copy the URL of the web service - you'll need it later for PI configuration
 on the second next screen use the same name for "Virtual Interface" and "Web Service Definition" (the name should be the name of the "Endpoint")
 the "EAR Project" should be preselected
Unfortunately, the web service can't be used in its current configuration to be accessed by PI. Therefore the Virtual Interface must be changed. To do so, expand folder "Virtual Interfaces" and double click the virtual interface created.
Within the detail view expand in tabs "Mapping" and "Types" the complete folder structure. For any "SOAP Extension" where a namespace can be defined use as namespace the corresponding namespace in PI (e.g. http://corpintra.net/pi/CBFC_GLOBAL_SAP_APPL/BillerDirect) but do not change any "Soap Extension" of a standard Java type. (if you don't have any naming convetions for namespaces in PI you can leave the SOAP Extension here. But then the namespace in PI should be set accordingly.)
Probably it can be necessary on top level "Soap Extensions" in tab "Mapping" to leave "Use Namespaces for Parameters" unchecked. For some of my web services this parameter must be checked for others not - just try.
If you can define a "New Name", "Local Name" or "Item Label" for a Soap Extension then use a name with starting upper case letter. (For Java Naming conventions most of the data type names will start with lower case letters.) Especially the method name must be renamed this way in order to stick to the PI namings.
As a last point to change here check in tab "Mapping" all "Incoming Parameters" which you specified as array. Use for those as "New Name" a different name - do not just simply change from lower case to upper case. This is necessary as on PI we need to create two levels although here only one is specified.
For any own sub-type declared as array the name within the coding should also differ from the corresponding Java Class name the type refers to.
If all this is done you can deploy the web service to the J2EE:
 right click on "Enterprise Application" DC and choose "Development Component - Build..." and build all corresponding components
 right click on "Enterprise Application" DC and choose "Development Component - Deploy"
Test the new web service via <J2EE URL>/wsnavigator/enterwsdl.html
Create PI interface
After the web service is created successfully the PI integration can be started.
Therefore, within the Enterprise Services Builder create a data type according to the web service definition. All components defined on top-level for this data type should be declared as incoming parameter for the web service business method. Therefore it could be necessary to create some sub data types on PI first and add those to the "master" data type.
Ensure that the names of the components correspond to the names defined in the web service (see virtual interface here). Those names must exactly be the same - including lower/upper case. Also take care for the ordering of the components.
In case you need to include arrays following applies:
The upper level is of occurrence "1:1". This has only one sub-entry with occurrence "1:n". The names for upper and sub-level must not equal.
Based on the data type a message type is created. The name of the message type must be exactly the same as the name of the web service business method. (Hint: the name of the web service business method was most likely changed in the virtual interface. Then this name must correspond to the message type name.) Based on the message type an asynchronous inbound interface is to be created (which will be referred in the Integration Directory). The operation name for this interface (left panel) should be the same as the name for the web service business method.
Create PI mappings and routings
How to map (message mapping and operation mapping) from source to the web service message I wont explain here as this depends on the source message. The only important things here are:
 When creating the SOAP communication channel within the Integration Builder the "Target URL" is:
 <J2EE URL>/<Access URL as specified in web service creation>?wsdl&style=document
 The soap action is the name of the web service business method.
 Most likely the web service needs authentication to be executed.

But I can access this site, if I type in the above address in the address bar of IE.
Can any body help?
I have oracle9i client installed on my machine and able to connect to server thru toad and sql plus.
or IF any body refers me to a good website for the topic of "using webservies from pl/sql" that would be great too!

Here is the complete code:

Error calling web service from Viusal Composer

Hello:
I'm accessing entity services methods published as web services from a composite application from Visual Composer. I'm using version 7.0 SR3 SP15.
Iu2019m able to access create and read methods from entities services. But from same getAll() methods Iu2019m getting access error. When I execute the same getAll() method from u201CWeb Service Navigatoru201D it works ok. But from Visual Composer itu2019s not working. That happens only for same entities for others itu2019s working ok.
From VC Iu2019m able to select the WDSL and use I in the iViews. The other methods of the iView works ok except for the getAll.
I have already set the options of VC to not keep a cache of web services definition and review and recreate the system in portal landsacape and teh related alias to access the web services. I have laso checked te user and password in the mapping.
Thabk you in advance for your help.
Regards.

Hello:
Using the infprmation in the link that you pass me I was able to look into the log files and see what the problem is.
The getAll service as it is geerated by NWDS receive an input paramter:
queryFilter (test.types.p1.GetAllQueryFilter)
In VC when I drop the getAll method from the corresponding service data into the working area. That input parameters doesn't apper aonly the output parameter.
Then when I execute or test that service. The portal is giving an error:
Full Message Text
com.sap.engine.services.webservices.additions.soaphttp.exceptions.ProcessException: Cannot find the required parameter [queryFilter] in request message
But that parameters was never recognized by VC.
Thank you in advance for your help again.

Error when creatibg a web service in SAP r/3 ecc 5, WebAS 640

We are trying to expose a BAPI (BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETSALESAREAS) as a web service on SAP R/3 ECC 5. web AS 640.
We created the virtual interface (Z_VI_CUSTOMER_BAPI)and the web service definition (Z_WSD_CUSTOMER_BAPI)from SE80. When we try to release the web service definition from WSCONFIG, we get an error saying:
"Error when creating web service(Web Service Definition Z_WSD_CUSTOMER_BAPI for SOAP application unbekannt)"
Please help...
Thanks,
Shailesh

Hi.
I think I must clarify my question.
The Web Service is not called inside SAP R/3 but externally. For testing pourpose I actually use WS Navigator and XMLSpy.
The method inside ABAP Server Proxy which is exposed as a Web Server in SAP R/3 system is the following. Note that the Web Service is Asynchronous.
METHOD zpi_ii_test_ws_4_in~test_ws_4_in.
DATA: lwa_zpi_test TYPE zpi_test.
lwa_zpi_test-mandt = input-mt_test-record-client.
lwa_zpi_test-bukrs = input-mt_test-record-company.
lwa_zpi_test-belnr = input-mt_test-record-document.
lwa_zpi_test-gjahr = input-mt_test-record-year.
INSERT zpi_test FROM lwa_zpi_test.
COMMIT WORK.
ENDMETHOD.
I have created another Web Service in SAP R/3 which is Synchronous, and the error does not occurs. The following is the method inside ABAP Server Proxy which is exposed as a Web Service in SAP R/3 system.
METHOD zpi_ii_test_ws_3_in~test_ws_3_in.
DATA: l_bukrs      TYPE bukrs,
        l_belnr      TYPE belnr_d,
        l_gjahr      TYPE gjahr,
        lr_belnr     TYPE RANGE OF belnr_d,
        lwa_zpi_test TYPE zpi_test.
l_bukrs = input-mt_req-msg+0(4).
l_gjahr = input-mt_req-msg+4(4).
SELECT MAX( belnr ) INTO l_belnr
    FROM zpi_test
    WHERE bukrs EQ l_bukrs
      AND belnr IN lr_belnr
      AND gjahr EQ l_gjahr.
IF l_belnr IS INITIAL.
    l_belnr = '4700000000'.
ELSE.
    l_belnr = l_belnr + 1.
ENDIF.
lwa_zpi_test-mandt = sy-mandt.
lwa_zpi_test-bukrs = l_bukrs.
lwa_zpi_test-belnr = l_belnr.
lwa_zpi_test-gjahr = l_gjahr.
INSERT zpi_test FROM lwa_zpi_test.

I hope to have clarified my question.

Questions about SPML Web Service ( OIM 9.1 )

I need to launch a provisioning process on a target by using a generic connector (Web Service).
Scenario:
==========
Host A is where the OIM server is installed. A generic connector is defined here.
Host B is the target where users must be created. A webservice (axis) is installed here.
Requirements:
===========
OIM server (Host A) sends a request to WebService (Host B). The Web service receives, process and sends a response with the result to the OIM server.
Version 9.0.3
==============
On Version 9.0.3 I got the expected results but a problem appeared: there wasn't feedback error control because the web service response could'nt be processed.
I followed the next steps:
1º deploy axis on application server
2º write SendWSResponse.jws including public method "doProvisioning". Copy this file to ..\server\default\deploy\axis.war\
3º compile SendWSResponse.jws (from a browser)
4º Create generic connector (for reconciliation and provisioning). Definition of parameters and mappings.
Note: In 9.0.3 version only three parameters were required for Web Service Definition:
Web Service URL=http://host:8080/axis/SendWSResponse.jws
Operation Name = doProvisioning
SPML-->Target ID=4201
Version 9.1
==============
On the new version, the connector definition is more complicated. Also they have added an ear-application or web service (OIMSpmlWS) related to this connector .
The first question is:
Is this ear-application addressed to process the reponses that are sent by the target?
The second question is:
Must I install the OIMSpmlWS on Host B? and if the answer is affirmative, how can I include the logic to my provisioning process.
And the most important?
How might the connector be configured and the webServices in this usual scenario?
Many thanks in advance

There is no "sample" WSDL file, there is THE WSDL file. It is located in the OIMSpmlWS.ear EAR file, in spmlws.war WAR file in the directory WEB-INF/wsdl.

Creating an endpoint for a brokered web service on PI 7.1

Hi
We recently upgraded to PI 7.1 EHP1 ( SP5 ) from XI 3.0 SP23.
In XI 3.0, we had a scenario - in which - using a SOAP sender channel and outbound message interface on XI , a web service definition (WSDL ) file was provided to a consuming application. The consuming application invoked the webservice on XI - in runtime, these calls were mapped to a proxy call - on the R3 backend with a server proxy implementation .
In other words, we had XI integration server involved in runtime - with mapping and the response send back sychronously to the calling application.
We see that this interface has been upgraded in PI 7.1 with a point-to-point attribute checked in the service interface definition .
However this is not a point-to-point interface, so we unchecked the point-to-point attribute in the service interface definition of the inbound interface and linked the outbound interface in the same definition.
We were able to publish the service definition to registry. How do we configure/define the end points - for this service whose runtime is exposed on PI 7.1 ?

Was able to publish service agreement from PI - directory

Determine BADI from Enterprise Web Service?

Hi all,
We've just started to work with Enterprise Web Services and have a need to enhance one of them. Using ES Workplace we have identified the 'Read Purchase Order' as a candidate and want to see what capabilities exist in making minor changes. The resources that we have found so far that detail this involve implementing a BADI.
My question is, how do we determine what the BADI is for each enterprise web service? I do not see a BADI name listed in the es workplace page for the web service. Is there a tcode on the ECC system that can use one of the values listed from the es workplace page?
http://esworkplace.sap.com/socoview(bD1lbiZjPTAwMSZkPW1pbg==)/render.asp?packageid=DE0426DD9B0249F19515001A64D3F462&id=32D255D472EA11DA36BB000F20DAC9EF

Hello,
BADI's relevant for each Web Service is provided at ES Workplace. For example, PO Query Web service definition ECC_PURCHASEORDER002QR, BADI is PUR_SE_PURCHASEORDER002QR which is mentioned in the link:
http://esworkplace.sap.com/socoview(bD1lbiZjPTAwMSZkPW1pbg==)/render.asp?packageid=DE0426DD9B0249F19515001A64D3F462&id=32D255D472EA11DA36BB000F20DAC9EF
I hope you may also search BADI's in SE18 using wild search 'PURCHASEORDER002QR'.
Thanks,
Venu

Problem with datetime data type in Web Service

Hi,
I created local ABAP proxy based on a WSDL and some of the fields for the SOAP methods has data type datetime:
name="MsgEndTimeStamp" type="s:dateTime" />
name="MsgStatus" type="s:string"/>
Since ABAP stack doesnt support dataTime data type it has created the proxy method with data type STRING. Now when I call the proxy method (consuming the service) I get an error:
<CODE>SoapFaultCode:4</CODE>
<ERRORTEXT>Server was unable to read request. --> There is an error in XML document (1, 626). --> String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.</ERRORTEXT>
I am sure others have faced the same issue. Can someone help?
Thanks

Thanks but I dont think that link is much relevant to the problems I am facing, because I cannot change the web service definition as it is used by many others. Also the target application runs on oracle so thats why some of the fields are datetime and I dont want to change that, even if I could.
I am just stuck in creating the wrapper program to call the service since the SAP converts datetime data type to string and when the messages gets to the application it cannot convert string -> datetime.
thanks anyway
