Customize Enterprise Services

Hi,
is there a recommend way by SAP to customize an Enterprise Service? For Example i have extended the Business Object customer with custom attributes. So the operation parameters of the Enterprise Service (e.g. CreateCustomer) that use this BO must change.
Regards,
Wolfgang

You can create a new service interface with the ES Builder. In your service interface, create an operation, eg, newCreateMaintenanceOrder, which the request message type has a newly-defined data object. This newly-defined data object can be made up of your existing createMaintenanceOrder request message's data type (if it's available as GDTs or import the XI package of your createMaintenaceOrder and reuse its data type) and new own specific attributes.
Please see the following video demo for detail step-by-step guide https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00fab12c-2bf4-2a10-15bb-8387855176b8.
Anyway, i found a quick way to create message type of request and response in operation by using WSDL document. Please refer http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/26/9e97b0f525d743882936c2d6f375c7/frameset.htm. No manual one-by-one define of element in data type.
You can create a ABAP (or Java) web service which implements your required newCreateMaintenanceOrder functionality. Make sure that the Import and Export parameters are of what you desired. Get the WSDL of this web service, import and use it for your request and response message type for your new service interface's operation in ES Builder.

Transfer Of Data from Sap to Oracle with the help of Enterprise Services.

Hello,
We want to transfer data from Sap to Oracle using standard Enterprise Services.Some fields were not available in the existing standard Enterprise Services,so we have enhanced the existing Services by writing code inside BADI available with Enterprise Services.Rest of the fields we have mapped with the existing fields available in standard Enterprise Services.But,the Oracle people want to fetch all data from Sap without entering any input as a mandatory field in the Enterprise Services.The existing standard Enterprise Services require to enter any field as mandatory and are not accepting the range in input for multiple records.e.g.All enterprise Services related to Sales Orders are displaying only one sales Order.We have searched all Enterprise Services for Sales Order(related to reading of data),but not able to find service which would display mutiple records without entering any input.ECC_SALESORDER009QR is the only service which is displaying multiple records without entering any input,but the required fields are not available in this service.So,kindly suggest what we need to do further.
1.Should we go for customization of services completely,so that it would fulfil our requirement.
2.Are there standard Enterprise Services exists which would we give us data in range(all records).
If they exists,please specify the names of Services for reading Purchase Order,Production Order,BOM etc.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Vaibhav,
Let me tell you the objective in detail.
Objective.
To develop a package solution which will work as a bridge between Oracle APS and SAP system so that customers using SAP will be able to use advantages of Oracle APS for their planning needs.
This will consist of following major components:
OA Templates is an Oracle utility to load data from any legacy system to Oracle APS using standard flat files.
Oracle has developed an Application Integration Architecture which is a standard architecture used for integration of Oracle products with other systems.
Enterprise services is an SAP utility to communicate with SAP.
AIA canonicals are standard canonicals developed by Oracle where we have to map data fields from destination system (Oracle APS) and source system (SAP)
Fusion middleware is being used to develop application interfaces following AIA standards.
Tasks at stake:
Mapping of Oracle APS fields and SAP Enterprise Service fields to AIA canonicals
Technical work of developing middleware using Oracle Fusion
From Sap side,we have to map fields which we have received from Oracle with the help of Enterprise Services,rest consumption of these services is done by Oracle guys.So,suggest is there enterprise services available which would give us multiple records .
Thanks & Regards,
Divya.

Basic questions on Enterprise Services

Hello,
I have a few open questions on the topic for myself and hope that you can help me to answer them:
1) In my Systemlandscape I have several ECC 6.0 systems and a PI system. Now if I want to use a SAP standard webservice, let's say some of the customer fact sheet webservices.. what would be the procedure?
Would I need to identify which packages the content is in and then download these packages from SAP service marketplace? And has this to be done on PI side or on the backend side? Or both?
If I then want to use one of those standard webservices, e.g. "Find Customer Address Basic Data by Name and Address", where would the service call be directed to? To SAP PI or to the backend system?
2) If I have a Webservice which should extract mass data, e.g. data about all customers - would this be a feasible web service scenario? Or a web services only used to extract single customers in general? I wonder about things like performance, timeouts, error handling, etc.
3) Composition
What tool is at the moment used for composing web services? Is it some design tool on PI (BPM?) or is it rather Visual Composer on CE or even WebDynpro (ABAP or Java?)
I hope you can help me to clear up some of these questions.
Best Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Answers to your questions:
Would I need to identify which packages the content is in and then download these packages from SAP service marketplace? And has this to be done on PI side or on the backend side? Or both?
You need to ensure that the content exists on both if you want to use SAP PI to customize the SAP standard enterprise services & create proxies in the back-end (ECC). You could also just use the standard services as they come shipped from SAP, in that case you just need to ensure that the content exists in ECC.
If I then want to use one of those standard webservices, e.g. "Find Customer Address Basic Data by Name and Address", where would the service call be directed to? To SAP PI or to the backend system?
It depends how you set up your scenario. You could have the web service mediated through SAP PI or another ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) using different technology. In that case, the service call will be directed to SAP (or ESB) & then the back-end. You could also setup a point-to-point scenario where the service call is routed from the consumer straight to the back-end. Ultimately, the call has to reach the ECC back-end to process, what changes is what is put in betwwen the consumer & the ECC back-end.
If I have a Webservice which should extract mass data, e.g. data about all customers - would this be a feasible web service scenario? Or a web services only used to extract single customers in general? I wonder about things like performance, timeouts, error handling, etc.
I wouldn't recommend this kind of scenario when using web services. It would more relevant for maybe batch or asynchronous scenarios, also maybe mediated through SAP PI. All your concerns are valid.
What tool is at the moment used for composing web services? Is it some design tool on PI (BPM?) or is it rather Visual Composer on CE or even WebDynpro (ABAP or Java?)
This question isn't all that clear. For web services 'Composition' you can use the ESR (Enterprise Service Repository) that comes shipped with SAP PI or SAP CE. ccBPM in SAP PI is used for async messaging so that can't work for web services.
For 'Orchestration' of web services, SAP CE would be your preferred tool & you could also use Netweaver BPM that comes with CE to orchestrate several web service calls for a specific business process. This doesn't stop you from using anything else (like Java for example) to do your orchestration but you want the flexibility of being able to change a business process on the fly & SAP CE with BPM provides this.

Publish BUS1065 object to Enterprise Service Bus (Tibco)

Dear forum members,
We are trying to find out if a concept we designed will work. Our goal is to publish a full business object e.g. BUS 1065 (Employee) to the Enterprise Service Bus (Tibco JMS technology).
We plan to customize change pointers to the BUS object, which will trigger a replicate of the BUS object. We hope to create an outbound iDoc which will contain the full BUS object. The ESB solution will trigger a JMS publish on receiving the iDoc.
Does anybody has experience with replicating a business object for a non SAP receiver? Will our concept work?
kind regards,
Richard

Integration scenarios from scratch -- idocs or enterprise service bundles

Hello,
We are starting a SAP PI implementation for a new SAP ECC 6.0 system. The implementation is from scratch, so we don't have to consider any historical issues or decisions. One of the first business processes to be integrated with business partners is the Procure-to-Pay process. The old way of implementing this B2B scenario was with idocs (e.g. ORDERS05 and INVOIC03), but nowadays the enterprise service bundles also contain services for this scenario. Should I choose idocs or enterprise services as a technique to get the information send to SAP PI or send the information to SAP ECC? What are the advantages and disadvantages of both techniques? Does anyone have experience with the implementation of the enterprise services for Procure-to-Pay?
Thanks for your response!
Kind Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
here are my 2 cents to your very interesting disussion.
The IDOC was designed to customize EDI data distributions between SAP Systems via messagetypes and transaktioncodes (Vorgangscodes) in the partnerdetermination which itself is mapped (the "Vorgangscode") to functional modules to do "something". The complete customizing of IDOC distribution might sometimes seems to be complex (and we both know it is more than that but it is FULL CUSTOMIZABLE from a consulting point of view.
The Enterprise Service (my personal view multiplied with the last TechEds and RampUp Delta courses) have another focus. An Enterprise Service is (mostly) some entity which is consumable from the outside world such that they are implemented with Request-Response patterns. When you only want to distribute information why will one use something like Request Response Patterns? One could argue to get back any response, any confirmation or something else....but this is also possible with IDOCs and their acks.
Another argument against to use an ES for P2P outbound scenario is, if yet not seen any ES which is triggert while create a purchase order in its related transaction. Is the BADI for such Transaction triggering the ES while the save event has been processed? If you could find out this fact and if the BADI (or some new kind of user exit for transactions) is implemented and fully supported from SAP I would choose the ES in the P2P processs. Otherwise why using the ES instead of the IDOC when using a PI as Middleware which is converting the source message type (ES or IDOC) into its proparitary legacy system format. Please let me know when you found such userexit/BADI for ES.
Please don't missunderstand my point of view, I would really throw away these IDOCS and using a couple of ES instead but what is the fully supported STANDARD from a customizable and manageable point of view. When you are familiar with proxy technology you know how easy to implement, monitor and manageble theses technology is - BUT - you always have to code some (maybe not release independent) proxy method and you maybe have to invest some knowledge for error handling, rollbacks or additional commit works - all of these stuff will be handled (mostly ) by the SAP standard delivered functions.
Last but not least - if there is any standard out there to trigger an ES from a transaction without coding I would rather use the ES instead of the IDOC. If there is no such standard I would discuss the functionality with the customer (if to complex implement an inbound or outbound proxy=ES) or extend the IDOC or use a BAPI (and extend the BAPI if needed) - mostly the proxy will the be the easiest choice if the needed field count is not to much (<30).
So long, let me know about your findings and your decision.
Regards,
Dries

Not able to see Enterprise Service hosted at SDN

Dear All
I want to access the Enterprise Service that are available at SDN and for that I created two proxies in Visual Admin.
I am trying to call those services in my Visual Composer. I am able to see the services in the Group.
But not able to see the required Enterprise Service.
When I click the + sign nothing comes under that group.
I am using VC 7.0
Can any body help me.
Thanks
Vivek
Hello Everybody
The ES available at SDN cannot be accessed outside SAP network because if we see the XML of the service available, the URLs within the XML are pointing to the internal hostname iwdf1030.dmzwdf.sap.corp of the system and not to the external hostname erp.esworkplace.sap.com. Unfortunately the internal hostname is not accessible or known to the internet and that is why we are not able to connect and retrieve the interface definition.
May be it will take some time to resolve this issuse, till then have a great time.

XML Deserialization error while consuming Enterprise service in wd java..

Hello,
I am trying to build 2 webdynpro java webdynpro applications which consumes enterprise service for purchase order and another application for Busines partner.
While i was able to successfully consume the PO service in webdynpro java and get the desired output for PO..i get XML Deserialization error while running appliation for Business Partner..
These are the details/steps i followed for the Business Partner application:
1. After creating the model using the enterprise service, i created a service controller from the model to the component controller..
2. Out of many inputs/output attributes during mapping from model to component controller. i further mapped the context from CC to ViewC.
3. In the wdDoInit() method, i added the follwing code:
    BPCreate model1 = new BPCreate();
    Request_BusinessPartnerERPCreateRequestConfirmation_In RequestC = new Request_BusinessPartnerERPCreateRequestConfirmation_In(model1);
    BPERPCrteReqMsg_S CreateMessage = new BPERPCrteReqMsg_S(model1);
    BPERPCrteReq_SBP Cpartner = new BPERPCrteReq_SBP(model1);
String Category = new String();
    String lf = new String();
    Cpartner.setInternalID(new String());
    Cpartner.setNumberRangeIntervalBusinessPartnerGroupCode(new String());
    Cpartner.setLifeCycleStatusCode(lf);
    Cpartner.setCategoryCode(Category);
    CreateMessage.setBusinessPartner(Cpartner);
    RequestC.setBusinessPartnerERPCreateRequestMessage_Sync(CreateMessage);
    wdContext.nodeBusinessPartnerERPCreateRequestMessage_Sync().bind(CreateMessage);
4. When i comment this code and run the application, the aplication comes up but the input fields are non-editable..
5. If i place this code in wdDoInit() method, i get the Deserialization error..
Any idea about why this error occurs and which areas in the application can lead to these errors?
I checked that the service runs fine in soamanager.
Thanks, JVR

Hi Kishore,
This error is majorly because while executing this Webdynpro application you are not entering all the mandatory fileds of WS.
Please try to execute this WS from WS-Navigator, check which fileds are mandatory and then
appropriately instantiate it in wdDoInit and pass all the fields required.

Logon Error Message - Enterprise Services Builder address not maintained

Hi Experts,
I'm about to start the configuration on PI PROD (PI 7.1) server, but I keep encountering an error, saying "Service cannot be reached"
Service cannot be reached
What has happened?
URL http://hostname:port/nwa call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available.
Note
The termination occurred in system PIP with error code 404 and for the reason Not found.
The selected virtual host was 0 .
What can I do?
Please select a valid URL.
If it is a valid URL, check whether service /nwa is active in transaction SICF.
If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system administrator.

What's more weird is that I can't launch sxmb_ifr because 'Enterprise Services Builder address not maintained'.
I already made some RFC Destination such as AI_DIRECTORY_JCOSERVER, AI_RUNTIME_JCOSERVER, LCRSAPRFC, and SAPSLDAPI and when I test the connection, here's the error message said 'Error when opening an RFC connection (CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPOCMINIT' : cmRc=2 thRc=67'
Thanks for the reply.

Hello,
Check if you have more than one system. If so, check whether host, port and URL of startpage are maintained on the correct one.
Also, please follow the MANUAL steps of the SAP Help link below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/a0/40084136b5f423e10000000a155106/content.htm
Ensure you have created the RFC Destinations in the ABAP and Java Environment
You need to create the following RFC destinations in transaction SM59
(ABAP) and the Visual Administrator (Java):
AI_RUNTIME_JCOSERVER
AI_DIRECTORY_JCOSERVER
LCRSAPRFC
SAPSLDAPI
Last, please check whether, In tcode SM59, the destination INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI.
The user maintained in the Logon tab should be PIISUSER
and ensure he password is correct,and check if the destination will test successfully.
All of those will solve this issue

How to know the class method behind an enterprise service

Hi,
SAP has provided enterprise services for Room booking in Real Estate module. They are even shipping the complete application for a nominal price. But the standard version is not suitable for our client requirement so they want to develop this application inhouse.
Now my question is: I know the enterprise services used in this application. How to know the implementing methods behind these enterprise services ?
If possible suggest which approach will be a better option for the inhouse development.
1. Webdynpro ABAP and use directly methods behind the enterprise services.
2. Webdynpro ABAP and create client proxy class for the enterprise services.
3. Webdynpro JAVA and use the enterprise services.
4. Using visual composer modelling the application.
Please suggest the best alternative.
Best Regards,
Aleem Mohiuddin.

Hi
They are even shipping the complete application for a nominal price. But the standard version is not suitable for our client requirement so they want to develop this application inhouse.
I assume you are talking about xApps.
How to know the implementing methods behind these enterprise services ?
In sproxy transaction you can search service and then you can see class and method implemented behind that particular service.
1. Webdynpro ABAP and use directly methods behind the enterprise services.
In my opinion not recommended to bypass ES and use method behind it.
2. Webdynpro ABAP and create client proxy class for the enterprise services.
Not sure why you want to create proxy of ES.
3. Webdynpro JAVA and use the enterprise services.
4. Using visual composer modelling the application.
You can use either Webdynpro (ABAP or Java) or VC to model your application which consume ES in backend. Both options are good, you can chose Java or ABAP flavor of dynpro based on skill available in team. VC is very effective in rapid modelling and can be used in protyping or in development of complete application.

Create service order on basis of service request via Enterprise Service

Hi,
I would like to use the ServiceExecutionOrderERPCreateRequestConfirmation_In Enterprise Service to create a service order in SAP in the basis of a previous created service request. Is this possible? I already tried calling the service with various parameter combinations. The creation works fine but the relationship to the service request is not maintained. Could maybe any of the SAP guys or anyone else tell me whether this is possible at all or not?
Thanks a lot,
Manfred

Hello Manfred,
Yes this is possible.
In the service structure, there is a node by name BusinessTransactionDocumentReference.
Please enter the following in the node elements:
ID = <service_request_id>
TypeCode = 118
MainIndicator = true.
The node BusinessTransactionDocumentReference may look like below in XML.
<BusinessTransactionDocumentReference>
     <BusinessTransactionDocumentReference>
          <ID>service_request_number</ID>
          <TypeCode>118</TypeCode>
     </BusinessTransactionDocumentReference>
     <MainIndicator>true</MainIndicator>
</BusinessTransactionDocumentReference>
If you set the MainIndicator to false, ServiceRequest will be visible in the "Objects" tab in the Order. If this is true, ServiceRequest will be in the header of the order.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Shankar

Hi Gaurav,
Thanks for responding. Yes, all the backend config are in place since I am able to successfully run an equivalent RFC (BBP_PD_SC_GETLIST) and another RFC named BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL from SE37. The problem seems to be something very specific to the ES. May I request you to run this ES at your end (if possible) and let me know the result possibly with the input and output message similar to the one I pasted in the origincal question.
Thanks in advance,

PI 7.1 enterprise services: How to find & invoke SAP HCM enterprise Service

Hi all,
in PI 7.1, i read, there is support of enterprice services.
is my current understandings right about PI 7.1 and enterprise services:
1.the standard BAPIs, standard RFC that were provided in R/3 are replaced by standard enterprise services in SAP ECC.
2.a nonSAP application can invoke an enterprise service in the same way as a nonSAP application used to call an RFC in the R/3.
I want to view how an enterprise service of any SAP module can be called by a nonSAP applicaiton.
are there any doc or blog which shows this.
is possible with/wihout PI.
We have follwoing things installed.
1. PI 7.1 SP4.
2. SAP ECC 6.0, i am dealing with SAP HCM module.
are there any enterprise services of HCM available (e.g standard enterprise services given by SAP for HCM module).
basically i want to test whether a nonSAP application like a java application, can it get some info using standard HCM enterprise services provided by SAP.
I explored esWorkplace (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/esworkplace), but it does not display HCM related process components under the column "DISCOVER ENTERPRISE SERVICES".
