Enterprise Service consumption

Hi ,
Is it possible to consume an enterprise service via XI. If so what are the steps to consume the web service. Is there any exmples or demo's available??
Thanks & Regards

Enterprise services consumption by 3rd party - Security

Dear Experts,
I am planning to create a few enterprise services using an inside out approach (using FMs) with an intention of consuming it in a .NET WPF application (protoyping).
These web services would then be consumed by a third party application which is outside our system landscape, in the near future. This 3rd application would thus have access to our data exposed through the interface.
My question is, first of all, is it possible to achieve this kind of communication without any mappings??
Secondly, how safe is it to provide such interfaces externally and will the user authentication settings be enough to assure safe integration? WIll the firewall settings affect this kind of 3rd party communication over the internet?
Are there any problems that you all foresee?
Any comments on this would be great as I plan to start really soon..
Thanks a lot in advance,
Amith

>My question is, first of all, is it possible to achieve this kind of communication without any mappings??
yes once service is created then any .Net application can consume it by using wsdl.
>Secondly, how safe is it to provide such interfaces externally and will the user authentication settings be enough to assure safe integration?
user/password with limited authorization is safe enough but for extra security you probably use certificates.
>WIll the firewall settings affect this kind of 3rd party communication over the internet?
No, if your landscape is open for http communication then firewall will be unable to block any soap communication as it is plain text.
>Are there any problems that you all foresee?
First see what are your security risk appetite then check who will be user, selective partners or anyone who want to use it. For selective users you can create license or certificate key which need to be used to authenticate by calling application. Always create different endpoint for different partners or user so that you can selectively turn on/off the communication and will be able to trace who is doing what?
Hope this helps you.

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".
thanks,
Madhu.

Service Consumption of Enterprise Serices

Hello @ All,
I have published a Service definition from a SAP SWCV for SAP IS-U but the problem it has no Endpoint. I have tried to configure one. But i didn´t find its name on Services under SOAMANAGER. Because i think this Service definition don´t need a Proxy Generation.
The target is to consume this Enterprise Service. !
I don´t find also the SWC in ABAP WORKBENCH i would generate a Service Consumer from the WSDL File of this Service Interface.
Can you please tell me how?
Thank you so much!
Best Regards.
A.Labrache

Well in CE you can consume ES in many ways.
Process Layer. You can consume ES as part of a role based Guided procedure.
View Layer. You can build WebDynpros and Visual Composer iViews to consume ES.
Service & Business Object Layer. You can use Service Composition to consume an extend ES with your own Business Logic.

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,
Divya.

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.

Advantage of Enterprise Service over RFC

Hi All,
What benefits does using an SAP Enterprise service provide over an RFC?
thanks,
Piyush

Hi,
Most important advantage of ES over RFC is harmonization and open standard compliance (SOAP, WSDL, XML etc). While RFC is perfect if used only close connected SAP infrastructure but it is not open for consumption with cross-system usage.
Harmonization: while fileds in RFC will only make sense if you have worked in ABAP otherwise they are like greek to you (or other application developers), with ES data fields are harmonized and they are more acceptable across s/w vendor base and developers.
Standards: ES is like any other webservice is based on standards which is open for adoption and supported by almost all modern programming language. So everyone speak the same language.

Are Enterprise Services required under DUET FP1, GW 2.0?

In an earlier project we did prior to DUET FP1, GW 2.0, we did not use Enterprise Services. For the new project, I have a valid GW Data and Consumption Model generated under GW 2.0. When I try to follow the old instructions for the non-Enterprise Services install and generate the flat service under transaction SIMGH, the new screens have required fields for Enterprise Services Repository (ESR), so obviously it wants Enterprise Services information. The old instructions (screens) did not have ESR fields. Is there a way around this or is Enterprise Services required for DUET FP1, GW 2.0? Are there instructions on how to create a non-Enterprise Services instance?
BTW, I was following the "Build Duet Enterprise Applications with Gateway RFC or BOR Generator" document for creating my project. I ran into a similar problem here where there was no Enterprise Services set up for the "Create BDC Model from GSDO Type" step.
Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,
Your thread title is a little misleading.
Enterprise Services are not required; you typically generate or handcraft own Gateway Services, connected to either RFC's of Web Services (plain BAPI or Enterprise Services; both possible).
But your question actually boils down to whether or not Enterprise Service Repository is required for designing Duet Enterprise Services. The answer to that is Yes: the ESR is also in FP1 still needed during design time, that is if you are using the Gateway Design Time tools (*). At runtime it is not required.
(*) In case of handcrafting approach, you could theoretically do without; that implies that you will somehow have to define the Service Interface, corresponding to the required SAP syntax and semantics. In practice this is NOT advisable, it is very error prone to try handcraft the Service Interface .wsdl...
Best regards, William.

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.
Regards
Vivek

Error creating service consumer enterprise service

Hi,
I'm facing an error when creating a service consumer enterprise service using WSDL URL. I got the error message
'Exception occurred in communication framework:Error in HTTP Framework:404Not foundhttp://localhost:8000/?wsdl=wsdl0'
Does anyone have any idea of how may cause this problem ?
I've looked in existing foruns questions for a long time, and I didn't get any answer to my problem.
I'll apreciate any help.
Thanks,
Paulo Sousa

Hi,
The problem was in WSDL. It has an address 'http://localhost_8000/
They replace it by the address where the service is installed and i was able to create the service consumer.

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

Can Web Service Consumption in SAP CRM 7.0 handle multiple records

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in I need to Consume a web service in SAP CRM. The response of the web service will have multiple records.
My questions is will Web Service Consumption in SAP CRM 7.0 be able to handle these records in a popup or not.
I would like to know whether it is feasible or not.
Thanks,
Deepika

Hi Kavita,
There is a standard column in UWL with name 'Sent Date'. Other functionalities in UWL for example deadline monitoring (Due date column) are based on this sent date. This shows an employee what was the date workitem was created (sent date) and when it will get escalated (due date). Displaying forwarding date in Sent date will not give clear picture to employee as the deadline will be calculated based on sent date only not based on forwarding date. this was just an example.
even though if your client is insisting, i dont think it can be done without any enhancement in UWL web dynpro com sort of thing. you can check with your portal consultant too.

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.

Gourav
