"Enhanced" Web Service

Hello,
I need some help concerning a topic called "enhanced web service" in some publications (eg. [http://www.sap-press.de/download/dateien/2221/sappress_netweaver_process_integration.pdf] ). What is meant by this term is a web service communication via an integration server. In the linked publication the following steps to define an enhanced Web service are listed:
1. To be able to generate a WSDL description for the caller, you need
a service interface. This can be either an outbound or an inbound
service interface. The service interface isnu2019t necessarily required for
further configuration because it describes only the signature for the
caller.
2. In the Integration Builder for configuration, follow the menu path
Tools u2022 Display WSDL. You create a WSDL description by entering
the following details in the wizard:
a) The address of the Integration Server or another Web server that is
supposed to receive the Web service call.
b) The service interface from the first step to publish the call signature
via the WSDL document.
c) Details about the sender of the SOAP message (party, service, and
outbound interface). When the Integration Server receives the
SOAP message, it needs these details to evaluate the configuration
data. You enter the information about the sender in logical routing
or operation mapping and in the collaboration agreements.
3. The caller can use the generated WSDL description to generate a
consumer proxy and then send the SOAP message to the Integration
Server by using the Web service runtime. You configure the receiver
for the SOAP message on the Integration Server.
I am not sure what to do in step 2 c). Can someone elaborate?
Kind Regards
Felix

>>I am not sure what to do in step 2 c). Can someone elaborate?
You need to input the following
Dont worry about party ignore it.
service - sender business component or business system example: BC_TEST or BS_test
outbound interface - sender service interface example: SI _xxxxx_outbound
Sender interface namespace example : http://xxxxxx

Enhancing web service tool to have further business objects and roots

Hi Gurus,
is it possible to enhance the web service tool in CRM 6.0, to have further business objects and root objects during the creation of a web service.
Currently, there are specific entries, but I want to have additional data in here to create a customer specific word template.
I have found out some tables, but I really do not know how to enhance them and if this is the correct way of adding additional business objects in the web service tool.
Mentioned tables are CRMV_WS_METHODS and CRMV_WS_OBJ_REL.
Has someone of you already did this? Helpful answers will be awarded.
ThanX
AleX

Does nobody have an idea? According to help.sap, only these objects are web service enabled:
-Business Transaction
-Business Partner
-Campaigns
-Case
-Counter
-Installed Base
-Marketing Segments
-Marketing Attributes
-Product
source: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/71/365da2ab81488c8fc9b82fd8eb6f0f/content.htm
But what about other components, such as BuAg (Business Agreement) or ISUMD (IS-U Master Data and further data from the ERP system). These components are in the GenIL, e.g.
BUAG with implementation class CL_CRM_BUAG_IL1 or
ISUMD with implementation class CL_CRM_ISU_IL_MD
Is it necessary to use the Web Service Consumption Tool for creating BOL Objects, although the BUAG/ISUMD are already available in CRM?
If so, what must be exactly done with this Tool. Does anyone have experiences here and can provide me further information?
Thanx and regards
Alex

XML scheme and Web services enhancement for MS Word integration in CRM 2007

Hi,
I am trying to use the Template designer and the web services tool in order to create a MS Word template for the quotation.
We have created a new web service, using the Web Service Tool
(transaction BSP_WD_CMPWB, type WS_DESIGN_TOOL). I can use this web service when creating a quotation word template and everything works fine.
I need to enhance the web service with some custom fields and logic. I found the blog:
Web-services enhancement for MS Word integration in CRM 2007
/people/community.user/blog/2008/11/18/web-services-enhancement-for-ms-word-integration-in-crm-2007
The blog describe how to enhance the web service, extend the output
structure etc.
We have done all the steps in the blog, and everything looks fine. When
we test the web service, using the Web Service Navigator, all the new
fields we added to the output structure are displayed. The WSDL
document also looks fine, displayed from the Web Service
Administration.
The problem occur when try to create the word template using the
Template Designer. The XML scheme is not displayed in the word
document. This only happens if we use an enhanced web service.
Anyone familiar with this issue?
Kind regards,
Johan Wigert

Hi,
You may have to upgrade your MS word 2003 to MS Word 2007.
Before you do that please opening View > toolbars > Task Pane and check if you can get XML Schema from the web service.

Web services websphere 5.1 encoding character

Hi
i generate a client using the command websphere tool WSDL2java.
Now i would like to change the character encoding ; I want to change to UTF-8.
Any idea ?
thanks

Hi Paul,
Earlier in this list, Tom Zaranek asked the same question. If you search back there
is a good thread that may be helpful.
In general, having the latest release of an emerging technology is recommended.

Can we use receiver enhancement feature for a web service scenario?

Hi Experts,
We have to send across an invoice to web service enabled legacy system from ECC.
ECC>ABAP Proxy>SAP PI>SOAP Adapter>Legacy System1
ECC>ABAP Proxy>SAP PI>SOAP Adapter>Legacy System2
Requirement is like if the invoice number starts with 1A, it should go to Legacy System1 & if the invoice number starts with 2A, it should go to Legacy System2.
Can we do it in one single scenario using receiver enhancement and if yes How?

You can make use of the XPATH function starts-with(string1,string2) and customize your condition as shown in this blog:
/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/06/07/customise-your-xpath-expressions-in-receiver-determination
Update:
It can even be done without using any XPATH function.....just make use of the option Contains Pattern from the dropdown available for the Middle Operand....right operand will be 1A*

Enhance BOL with Z-fields for Web Service

Hello,
I need to create Web Service for quotation.
I want to add some Z-fields to this WS. I think I need to enhance BTAdminH BOL.
I already append structure with Z-fields to BTAdminH BOL, however I don't know where I should write ABAP code for filling those fields.
How can I find class for BTAdminH BOL, and how can I convert it to Z-class?
Is it risky to do in already alive system?
Best Regards,
Veronica

Hello Robert,
I have already read this blog and my colleague tried to do the same, however we can't transfer it to QA system because the development is in local package (as it is described in the blog).
Do you know how to transfer it to QA system?
Failure to transfer to QA leads us to search other solution like enhance BOL.

Web-services enhancement for MS Word

Hi,
I have done all the steps described in the blog /people/community.user/blog/2008/11/18/web-services-enhancement-for-ms-word-integration-in-crm-2007 about Web-services enhancement for MS Word, but the last step I did not complete successfully.
When I start the template designer no offer structure OUTPUT of web service, the template is blank.
The funny thing is that when I delete the APPEND structure with fields Z, and I press Check button and activate the web service again I have no problem, I start the template designer and reappear standard fields.
Anyone have any idea what happens?
Thanks and regards

Re: Enhance standard TM Web service configured through WSRM

Hi experts,
I am trying to build an Order Integration scenario between TM & ECC. Unfortunately there is no SAP-PI available in our system landscape, so i have to use WS/RM.
There are some enhancements to be done in the standard Webservice(WS). Afaik we need ESR for the enhancement. Since there is no ESR configured in the WS/RM scenario, how do i enhance the WS?
Does anyone have an experience in enhancing std. WS in WS/RM?
BR,
Suhas

Dear Suhas,
You have not mentioned which version of TM you are working on.
If you are working on TM 9.1, check the below link for available Web services for TM ERP order integration.
TM_ERPOrderIntegration - Enterprise Services and ESR Content - SAP Library
If you want to check these services for availability, go to SPROXY transaction and look for the required.
Let me know if you need more help.
Thanks,

I have been reading through the install guide for collab and one of the pre install steps is to install Web services enhancement 2.0. But if I do a search on www.microsoft.com for Web Services Enhancement all I find is Web Services Enhancement 3.0. Can I install 3 instead of 2? Has anybody done this? I will be doing this install on Monday. Any help would be appreciated.

Q: How to expose EEWB custom enhancements via Web Service Tool

How do you expose custom enhancements so that when Selecting Attributes (step 2) of web service tool, you will be able view your custom enhancements? We are able to see the our enhancements via GENIL_MODEL_BROWSER. However, the enhancements are not carried forward to the Web Service Tool, any pointer or help would be rewarded with points.

Unable to call a web service from BPEL Project

I am running my BPEL PM on Windows XP SP3. The platform is weblogic 9.2, SOA 10.1.3.1.
I created a simple BPEL project to call a web service and when I run the project from BPELConsole I getting the following error:
exception on JaxRpc invoke: HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Bad response: 407 Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. )
I am able to call this web service from soapUI client.
Any help or hint is appreciated.

I have had this issue before when calling a .NET service, it was firewall related. I didn't actually make the fix so I can't tell you exactly how it was fixed on the server. I hope this info makes sense as this this the info I got from the IT boys
I’ve install this tool on your computer:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=05C2C932-B15A-4990-B525-66380743DA89&displaylang=en
which does that:
Firewall Client for ISA Server can be optionally installed on client computers protected by Microsoft ISA Server. Firewall Client for ISA Server provides enhanced security, application support, and access control for client computers. It provides authentication for Winsock applications that use TCP and UDP, supports complex secondary protocols, and supplies user and application information to the ISA Server logs.
When a client computer running Firewall Client for ISA Server makes a request, the destination is evaluated by the Firewall Client software, and external requests are directed to the ISA Server computer for handling. No specific routing infrastructure is required. Firewall Client sends user information transparently with each request, enabling you to create a firewall policy on the ISA Server computer with rules that use the authentication credentials presented by the client. ISA Server allows you to configure automatic discovery for Firewall client computers, using a WPAD entry in DNS or DHCP to obtain correct Web proxy settings for clients, depending on their location.
and I’ve added a exception in IE to the tools-lan settings-advanced-exceptions to be creditworks.* Did this by modifying the GPO that applies to your account, so all the users in National Office should have that exception.
hope you can use this.

I had another thread with this issue, but I didn't get answer. Can somebody help?

PL/SQL Web Service element, operation, part names etc all in lowecase

I have generated web services from pl/sql packages on a 11.2.0.1.0 database using JDev 11.1.1.5.0. In the generated wsdl all the names are in lowercase. Is there anyway of getting these names to match the case the objects are stored in the database?
Eg. CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE sampleEntity AS OBJECT (entityNumber INTEGER
,entityType VARCHAR2(1)
,displayName VARCHAR2(400))
But in the wsdl they are all lowercase:-
Eg.
<xsd:complexType name="sampleentity">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="entitynumber" type="int" nillable="true"/>
<xsd:element name="entitytype" type="string" nillable="true"/>
<xsd:element name="displayname" type="string" nillable="true"/>
Thanks.
Steve.

Ok, this sounds like a known bug ( Bug 5908689 ) in 10.1.3.1, but this was specific to non-Windows platforms. Are you on Linux/Solaris or any other platform? It might or might not be the same problem you are hitting but it does seem quite close (can't say for sure without a close investigation, I am afraid!)
In any case, this bug is fixed in the 10.1.3.4 patchset (besides quite a few other fixes and enhancements) - so would recommend you to first apply the 10.1.3.4 patchset and retest. The patchset is available on My Oracle Support (formerly Metalink) under Patch 7272722. Or you could go a step ahead, and apply the 10.1.3.5 patchset (Patch 8626084) instead which is the latest patchset for OracleAS 10.1.3.x.
