Differences between SOAP-ENV and soapenv

Hi all,
I am trying to find out why some SOAP request (inbound web services) in siebel work and do not work when the namespace prefix is SOAP-ENV and soapenv,
For example XML Spy generates "</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>" where as soapUI generates "<soapenv:Envelope>" and some difference in the name spaces.
Intrestingly other scenarios like invoking inbound web services with WS-Security and with out security had worked fine when tested from XML Spy.
Why is siebel not accepting the xml from XML Spy for Siebel Authentication scenario?
Thank you

Hi, just to let you all know, and please correct me if I am wrong, I have found this on the internet:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ws-axis-user/200308.mbox/%3C00fd01c35ba6$ed85e620$6f01a8c0@TPX21%3E
Although, the SOAP spec uses the namespace prefixes of SOAP-ENV and
SOAP-ENC, these prefixes aren't required. You can use any string you like as
a namespace prefix, just as long as it maps to the appropriate namespace
name. The reason why the spec bothers with telling us the notational
conventions is that prefix names (e.g., SOAP-ENV) aren't normative, and the
spec just happens to be using this set of naming conventions. So the prefix
name doesn't matter. Only the actual referenced namespace name (e.g.,
http://schema.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/) matters.
I confirmed this information from an expert from Fusion Middleware and he says that the name-prefix could be anything as long as it is mapped in the namespace (URL from the SOAP XML).

  • The difference between SOAP adapter and WS adapter in PI 7.1

    Hello all,
    can anybody explain what is the main difference between SOAP adapter and WS adapter in PI 7.1?
    I have checked this [link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/0d/5ab43b274a960de10000000a114084/frameset.htm]
    but was not able to find the real difference.
    Or better, what can I do with WS adapter I can't do with SOAP adapter? What are their advantages/disadvantages?
    Thank you all, Igor.

    In addition to RM, ws adapter also support other ws standard like SAML which is not available in SOAP adatper. Beside:
    if your sender or receiver is SAP system, you can also monitor the message in the sender/receiver in addition to the PI box. This is a very good thing, because sometime the MONI in PI shows nothing wrong, but the MONI in your receiver will show you error message that's only related to the receiver system.
    However, if you define ws sender CC, and your ws client doesn't support RM, you will have issue sending ws request.
    And ws CC will generate ws runtime in PI box, if your configuration is wrong (like user name and password not correct), even if you correct it, the ws runtime sometime won't be regenated based on the correction. In this case you need to delete the ws CC/agreement, and re-create it with all correct information.
    Beside make sure your basis team configured the PI system properly regarding ws. If not, you will have lot of pain to figure the problem which was my case.

  • Difference Between SOAP And HTTP Adapters

    Hi,
    Any body give me some information Abt Differences between SOAP And HTTP Adapters i know both are in use of Webservises. Any one come with more specific differences like in what case we go for SOAP And in what case we go for HTTP. thanks in advance.
    Thanks
    kiran.B

    Hi,
    In addition to the above
    The SOAP Adapter enables u to exchange SOAP messages between the remote clients or web servers and the integration server
    The HTTP Adapter is used to receive the arbitrary XML in the body of an HTTP-Post request.The HTTP adapter uses HTTP version 1.0 and does not support returning fault messages  to the sender.
    The HTTP adapter is used by the external systems  to connect to the integration engine using the native HTTP interface.The plain HTTP adapter is a part of integration engine.

  • What is difference between transport protocol and message protocol

    what is difference between transport protocol and message protocol
    please give definition and small explanation

    Hi,
    Transport protocol gives information about outside of message details, kind of system, security details.
    A transport protocol is a network protocol that has the capability of transferring some payload from one node to another, thus providing some level of transparency from the underlying network.
    Transport protocols are used as a mechanism to move payloads around a network. Typically, a payload will have a transport binding associated with it. For example, SOAP (acting as a payload) has a predetermined binding for HTTP (a transport protocol).
    Some common transport protocols include: HTTP, HTTP-R, SMTP and BEEP.
    Message protocol gives you an idea of message type XI payload

  • Problem between SOAP Sender and JDBC Receiver

    Hi,
    I have a asynchronous scenary between SOAP Sender and JDBC Receiver.
    The idea is sending an ID for updating one register.
    Table structure is:
    TABLE AS_PERSONA
        (P_RUT                         VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
        P_NOMBRE                       VARCHAR2(50),
        P_APELLIDO                     VARCHAR2(50))
    The ID is the P_RUT field.
    The structure of message that I send by SOAP, is the following:
    <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
         <SOAP-ENV:Body>
              <m:MT_CONS_SOAP xmlns:m="urn:prueba:voliva">
                   <CONSULTA>
                        <P_RUT>15445</P_RUT>
                   </CONSULTA>
              </m:MT_CONS_SOAP>
         </SOAP-ENV:Body>
    </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
    The JDBC receiver structure is:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ns0:MT_CONS_PERSONA xmlns:ns0="urn:prueba:voliva">
         <Statement>
              <AS_PERSONA action="UPDATE">
                   <table>AS_PERSONA</table>
                   <access>
                        <P_NOMBRE>DELETE_BY_XI</P_NOMBRE>
                        <P_APELLIDO>DELETE_BY_XI</P_APELLIDO>
                   </access>
                   <key>
                        <P_RUT>15445</P_RUT>
                   </key>
              </AS_PERSONA>
         </Statement>
    </ns0:MT_CONS_PERSONA>
    When I do a call to SOAP by XMLspy, it returns a message without data, that means succesfull reply.
    I see message monitor and see the succesfull flag. But in the database it doesn't update the register.
    This scenario was proved using the File Sender and same JDBC Receiver, then result was succesfull.
    I proved SOAP Sender with a File Receiver, storing information from SOAP sender in an archive, and works well.
    Then I imagine that exist some problem between SOAP and JDBC. what could be happening ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Looks like the problem is with the JDBC receiver...try updating the value in the table by using a File-JDBC scenario..does it work..check the adapter monitor in RWB..

  • Difference between RFC adapter and a proxy

    Can any one tell me the technical difference between RFC adapter and a proxy?
    reg

    There are advantages / disadvantages for RFC / Proxies / Idocs. So if I am in your position depending upon the requirement I will choose one. Some of the differences are:
    RFC and Proxy:
    RFC/BAPI has its own overhead of function call.
    Proxies communicate with the XI server by means of native SOAP calls over HTTP .RFC does not, so you have to convert from SOAP to RFC calls and vice versa. So XML conversion is required.
    ABAP Proxies uses Webservice and Http Protocols.
    If you use ABAP Proxy , you can reduce the overhead calling the function again and again.
    Proxy and Idoc:
    IDOC : After recieving the strucutred data It processes it using a Function Module associated with it.
    Proxy : Proxy is a structure where there is no processing function module associated. You need to explicitly write the Business Logic/Call the subroutines here
    This is my absolutely my view. Another guy has his own response. So first go through your requirements and then you can decide for what to go.
    Also go through this urls which may help you:

  • Can Anybody explain me the difference between  a Bapi and a webservice?

    Can Anybody explain me the difference between  a Bapi and a webservice?

    Hi Anil,
    <b>BAPI</b>
    BAPI is a library of functions that are released to the public
    as an interface into an existing SAP system from an external
    system.A BAPI function is a function module that
    can be called remotely using the RFC technology
    BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA.
    In this case you only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI. It is not possible to connect SAP to Non-SAP systems to retrieve data using RFC alone. RFC can acces the SAP from outside only through BAPI and same is for vice versa access.
    <b>Webservice</b>
    In simpler terms, WebService is an application on the Web/Internet. Wheneever Service is requested by the user, it provides the service (i.e Request/Response)
    A web service is a collection of protocols and standards used for exchanging data between applications or systems
    In SAP world, we can expose an application into the Webservice. For e.g We can expose ABAP programs into Webservice.
    XI uses SOAP adapter to communicate with webservices see below...why only soap adpater???
    -> Some remote clients or Web services providers are only able to communicate by means of SOAP messages
    ->SOAP adapter enables you to exchange SOAP message between remote clients and Web Service Servers and the Integration Server.
    -> The SOAP Adapter provides a runtime environment that includes various SOAP components for the processing of SOAP message.
    -> You use the SOAP adapter to connect such systems to the Integration Server directly
    -> The SOAP adapter uses a helper class to instantiate and control these SOAP components
    ->The SOAP adapter receives a msg from the remote client or Web service provider, converts the SOAP protocol into XI msg protocol and then sends the msg to the Integration Server to be processed further.
    Basically  RFCs BAPI are all SAP oriented, Webservices are language / environement independent. So, all one has to do is publish a Webservice and any external system by providing the data in the correct format, can get the approopriate response back.
    see these links to know more abt webservices..

  • Differences between .profile,oraenv and dbhome files

    can anyone tell me the differences between .profile,oraenv and dbhome.
    database version is 10.2.0 and OS is solaris 10.
    I have set up the environment variables using .profile
    is the functionality of oraenva and dbhome same like .profile?

    Hello,
    oraenv and oracle home_
    The oraenv and coraenv utilities both aid in setting the Oracle environment on UNIX systems (other utilities exist on Windows platform that enable the Oracle Home to be set.) The coraenv utility is appropriate for the UNIX C Shell; oraenv should be used with either the Bourne or Korn shells.
    Database operations require the ORACLE_HOME to be set before the user may access the database. If ORACLE_HOME is not set, commands such as sqlplus, exp, or any other utility for that matter, will not be found.
    Both utilities are shell scripts that do the same thing in the different UNIX shells. They will prompt for a SID of the database unless ORAENV_ASK is set to N. The utility will also append the ORACLE_HOME value to the path, marking the location of the utility.
    The oraenv command will prompt for the SID of the database that you wish $ORACLE_HOME to access.
    $ . oraenv
    ORACLE_SID = [] ? ASG920
    The dbhome utility can now be used to verify that $ORACLE_HOME is correct.
    $ dbhome
    /usr/oracle/9.2.0
    The “dot space” part of the command is required to make the environment change with the parent shell, as opposed to entering a command without it which would only affect the subshell running that process.
    These commands can be used to avoid specifying the network service name when issuing commands. For instance, without using oraenv, a sqlplus command would look like:
    $ sqlplus system/manager@nameofservice as sysdba
    whereas after oraenv has been executed, the following command would work:
    $ sqlplus system/manager as sysdb
    The profile:_*
    The Profile file in your home directory is a collection of Korn shell commands that are executed whenever you login. Commonly, the Profile file is used to set environment variables and shell options. You can also put command aliases in your Profile file, but it's better to put them in a separate file -- commonly called .env (which is pronounced: dot-e-n-v)-- that you define and execute in your Profile (which is pronounced: dot-profile).
    This document briefly introduces environment variables, shell options, and aliases, and gives sample Profile and .env files.
    The commands in this document assume that you're using Korn shell, which is the default login shell on all the ACCC UNIX machines. Shell variables (like $PRINTER and $ENV, which are introduced below) are defined slightly differently in C shell. For example, to select the U-Print system as your default printer in csh you'd use the printer named uprint:
    PRINTER uprint
    setenv PRINTER

  • What is difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.

    SAP Seniors,
    Can you please let me know what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix.
    I read the SAP help, it is confusing for me. it looks like both are same from help. please help me.
    Thank you
    Anitha.

    HI,
        Here is a brief description of difference between SY_TABIX and SY_INDEX and using them with several conditions.
    SY-TABIX
    Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for index tables. The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.
    APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the overall number of entries in the table.
    COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
    LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.
    READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines, or one more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails to return an entry.
    SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search string is found.
    SY-INDEX
    In a DO or WHILE loop, SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes including the current pass.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,
    Pavan.

  • What is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

    what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

    hi nagaraju
    sy-tabix is in Internal table, current line index. So it can only be used while looping at the internal table.
    sy-index is in Loops, number of current pass. This you can use in other loop statements also (like do-enddo loop, while-endwhile)
    SY-INDEX is a counter for following loops: do...enddo, while..endwhile
    SY-TABIX is a counter for LOOP...ENDLOOP, READ TABLE...
    Here is an example from which you can understand the difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.
    Itab is an internal table with the following data in it.
    id Name
    198 XYZ
    475 ABC
    545 PQR.
    loop at itab where id > 300.
    write :/ itab-id, itab-name , sy-tabix, sy-index.
    endloop.
    My output will be :
    475 ABC 2 1
    545 PQR 3 2
    Sy-tabix is the index of the record in internal table.
    sy-index gives the no of times of loop passes.
    So, for the first record in the output (475 ABC), 2 is the index of the record in internal table and as it is first time loop pass occured, sy-index value is 1.

  • The difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers

    Does anyone know what is the difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers? I can not find anywhere on Google. Also in the tutorials I have seen, suggesting DVD Studio Pro markers, but it did not mention the chapter markers.
    Thanks,

    "Adding Chapter and Compression Markers to Your Sequence
    Once you have your edited sequence or program finished, you can add markers to the sequence for use on DVD. Markers are reference points you can place within clips or sequences that identify specific frames. There are two kinds of markers you can add that directly relate to authoring a DVD—chapter markers and compression markers.
    • Chapter markers allow DVD authoring applications to create a navigable chapter list for your exported QuickTime movie. Chapter markers force MPEG keyframes (known as I-frames) at their location, since the DVD specification requires an I-frame at each chapter point.
    • Compression markers identify areas of abrupt change and include two types: those that are automatically inserted by Final Cut Pro at all edit points, and those you manually place in the clip or sequence. Like chapter markers, compression markers force I-frames at their location, although in this case it is for better quality encoding, and they are not used to create a chapter list.
    Note: When you export a QuickTime movie, you have an option to export various kinds of markers, including compression, chapter, or DVD Studio Pro markers. *When you choose to export DVD Studio Pro markers, Final Cut Pro actually exports chapter markers and all compression markers.* This includes compression markers you set manually, as well as ones created automatically by Final Cut Pro at edit and transition points."
