Examples about ABAP Proxies and Web Services creation

Hi everybody.
I have been reading SAP NW PI 7.1 help about Web Service creation and sincerely, I am a bit confused. Also I have searched SDN forums, blogs and documents but my confusion persist.
I will try to depict my integration scenario below.
SLD are conformed by two machines: SAP ECC 6.0 system, client 100 and SAP PI 7.1 system, client 001.
There are two integration scenarios.
1. ABAP Client Proxy -> PI -> Web Service
I need to consume a Web Service provided by a third part. They provided me with WSDL files and I imported them into ESR. I already construted all other objects (data types, message types, etc.). In the examples I found I cann't see what to do with those definitions, I don't find any suitable example. This is an asynchronous scenario. The Web Service will be consumed from SAP ECC 6.0 system through an ABAP Cliente Proxy.
2. Web Service -> PI -> ABAP Server Proxy
I need to provide a Web Service for others to consume it. I already have created the WSDL for Service Interface I created in ESR using the respective wizard in Integration Builder. This is an asynchronous scenario. The Web Service will be consumed by others outside landscape configuration. When the Web Service is consumed must run an ABAP Server Proxy.
In spite of my investigation about Web Services building in SAP NW PI 7.1 I cann't finish my work successfully.
I just need a good example, any suitable example for each integration scenario.
Thanks in advance.
Rafael Rojas.

Hi,
1. ABAP Client Proxy -> PI -> Web Service
1. Create all necessary objects in ESR
2. Create integration scenario objects with PROXY as sender SOAP or WS adapter as receiver
3. Create client proxy in your SAP backend using SPROXY
4. Create ABAP client proxy to execute the proxy which then will call your PI runtime to execute the webservice.
2. Web Service -> PI -> ABAP Server Proxy
1. Create your necessary objects in ESR
2. Generate server proxy in your back end system
3. Create integration scenario objects with PROXY as receiver and SOAP or WS adapter as sender
4. Generate WSDL from integration scenario and pass it to your partner.
You can find many blogs which discuss these steps in more detail.

Short question about networking, Threads and web services..

Lets say I got 2 classes, Midlet A and Thread B.
I created Thread B because web services (jsr-172) uses networking and It has to be done in a separate thread other then the Midlet A.
So, in Thread B, I have the run(), where I do all my stuff, and some getSomething() methods.
I need to have run() complete before calling getSomething(), so I used something like this in Midlet A:
while(true){
if(b.isAlive())
getSomething();
}Problem is, Thread B only runs to completion when I don't call b.isAlive(). (I know from System.out.println I placed in it) When I do use any methods like wait() or join() or isAlive(), Thread B stops at the web service call.
I really don't understand what's the problem. I've tried various ways to only call getSomething() when the thread finishes running, but all of them made my WTK emulator hang at the part where it asks for permission to access the network.
If I don't use getSomething(), which is the purpose of starting the thread in the first place, it runs fine in the emulator and doesn't hang anywhere. Oh the irony.

Bump!
Anyone got even half a clue what's wrong? =O
Hmm. I think that having the midlet wait for the thread causes the midlet to hang because the thread will then wait for the midlet for permission to access the network, but the midlet is waiting for the thread to finish it's code. Damn.

Doubt about ABAP Proxies

Hi Gurus!
I have a simple doubt.
Exist any difference in the name of Poxies created with SPROXY against created with SE80?
I think "SPROXY Proxies" are named ABAP Proxies and the "SE80 Proxies" are named Client Proxies, aren´t they?
Helpful answers will be rewarded.
Thanks and regards,
Manuel.

Hi Manuel,
SPROXY is about proxy (client or server) you generate against an SLD connection, I mean when you Business System belongs to an SLD and it is connected to it. Finally when your Bus Sys has an integration server linked.
Via SE80 you can create also proxy related to an integration server or client proxy in order to consumer Web Servicies.
Hope this help

Message Monitoring and Web services Sequences .. SOAMANAGER

When can I use Mesage Monitoring and Sequence Monitoring .
We are making a proof a concept and we are the following.
1. A program which executes a proxy and with this proxy we are consuming a web services.
2. The proxy and web services were implemented in the same Abap Machine .
3. We execute the test and everything works very well and we consume the webservice and the program displays the expected result.
Now want to know How can we use the Message Monitoring and the Sequence Monitoring . Is this posible ? Do we have to make any previous configuration?
We don´t have any XI installation and for that we wonder if we can monitorize the webservices sequences ?
Any idea about if we can realize such king of actions ..
Many Thanks

Hi
I assumes u have dual stack.
You can do the sequence monitoring with or without PI. But without PI you would achieve that thing on the local machine.
You have to do those things at Java End using SAP NWA.

Forms 10g, OAS and Web Services.... help!

Hello,
We're in the middle of a project that was originally supposed to be a (simple :D) upgrade of an existing Forms 6i application to a Forms 10g application.
During the course of the project we have encountered various problems with the older forms (shakes fist at Headstart code...) and as a side effect have had to upgrade our OAS to 10.1.2.0 (10gR2). That's fine, however we have recently been looking into replacing the C++ code that the old application uses to connect to SAP with a new Web Services system, using the SAP Adapter and WSDLs and BPEL and all the rest of it (steep learning curve).
In setting that up it seems it would be advisable for us to upgrade to 10.1.3.x (or "get a headache" said Oracle Support...) However, I now read (in an article from July last year) that Forms and Reports are not supported in 10.1.3.x...
So, do we ask our DBAs to go ahead and install the SOA suite 10.1.3.x? And if so, do I need to do something else to support our !0gR2 forms? Or will they just work? Can we do a "clean" install of 10.1.3.x or do we upgrade the existing 10.1.2.0 system....? Colour me confused.
Help!
Thanks in advance
Dan

You are correct, Forms 10gR2 is the latest and is not available on the 10.1.3 stack. I am also not sure if you are talking about writing web services or just consuming them. However you have 2 main options.
you can install 10.1.2 and use 10.1.2 for Forms and use 10.1.2 for your web services - this should work ok but of course you are "handicapped" by only being able to use 10.1.2 features of BPEL and WS.
Next option, you can install 10.1.2 for running Forms and run a separate 10.1.3 for running BPEL and SOA suite - nothing wrong with that. And if you write a web service and deploy to 10.1.3 you can call that from Forms.
Example of calling an external web service from Forms

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/forms_modernization.html - calling a BPEL process is just like calling a web services

SSL certificates and Web Services Usage inside Oracle Database Questions!

We have implemented a specific business logic using PL/SQL for our client, so we open a file and process each line of this, doing something in the Database and also call a Web Services (Service1) using UTL_HTTP package. Service1 runs in a Windows 2008 Server in the DMZ as Database server.
Service1 is already working, and we can call the service from PL/SQL without troubles.
However, according with security client's policies they requires all Web services be consumed via https including Service1, so we must to follow the procedure established for Oracle in order to enable the calling of service1 via https from the Database.
Our client's DBA and IT Team are concerned about two subjects before to continue to follow the certificate installation:
     - SSL Certificates:
1- Can installed certificates in the Database put in risk the stability of the database?
          2- Can installed certificates in the Database generate performance issues?
          3- Can installed certificates reloading the Databases?
          2- Can installed certificates in the Database generate security issues?
     - Web services:
1- Can web services calling from the Database put in risk the stability of the database?
2- Can web services calling from the Database generate performance issues?
3- Can web services calling from the Database generate security issues in the DMZ?
Could you please give us any clues, about the possible negative impact related with the SSL certificates and Web Services Usage inside Oracle Database, if it’s the case this impact exists?.
Those are the links describing the procedure mentioned above.

DB: Oracle 9i.
Average number of lines in file: 300
Periodicity: Twice at day.

Thiago:
You are correct in that there should be no problem interacting with a Web service that has an HTTPS endpoint as long as you create a wallet and specify it when you make your UTL_HTTP calls, like the PayPal example.
I am not aware of a PL/SQL utility to create a XMLDsig Standard message, but if you find some Java source out there that does it, you may be able to follow a technique I used for a similar use case:

Custom Portal Services and Web services

Can you please tell me what exactly are "custom portal services" and "web services" with a business like/ real life example?
How do you go about developing deploying and utilizing these services in Portal?
Thanks.

Hi navin,
Thanks for the par file.
Duly awarded points.
I need your help again.
I wish to use the method
public String getWelcomeString(String name)
in my own portal application to test usage of portal services.
So I uploaded your par file on my server.
Then I added the api and core jar files which came along with your par in my project as external jar files.
I imported com.wickes.WickesService.*;
Next, to use the service I coded:
IPortalRuntimeResources rs =
PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources();
IWickesService ws = (IWickesService) rs.getService(IWickesService.KEY);
But now I am stuck and I dont know how to proceed.
Please help.

hi,
short answer: you can't. to my knowledge there is no such thing as message/sequence monitoring outside of PI/XI.
the only thing you can do is to enable debugging and access some debugging info from ST22. other than that you do not have access to the original (XML) message, the HTTP headers or the ST(simple transformation) info or anything else.

ABAP mapping
ABAP mappings run on ABAP Stack and are developed in the ABAP workbench of the Integration Server.
You normally do not need to use the ABAP mappings and is preferable for someone with ABAP programming background. I should say JAVA functions would suffice any complex scenarios.
refer step by step guides for ABAP Mapping

XSLT Mapping
XSLT stands for EXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations. It is an XML based language for transforming XML documents into any other formats suitable for browser to display, on the basis of set of well-defined rules.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=xslt+mapping&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue#
Steps required for developing XSLT Mapping
u2022 Create a source data type and a target data type
u2022 Create Message types for the source and target data types.
u2022 Create Message Interfaces includes Inbound Message interface and Outbound Message interface.
u2022 XSLT Mapping does not require creation of Message mapping, so donu2019t create any Message mapping.
u2022 Create an .XSL file which converts source data type into target data type.
u2022 Zip that .xsl file and import it into Integration Repository under Imported Archives.
u2022 In Interface Mapping choose mapping program as XSL and specify this zip program. (Through search help you will get XSL Mapping programs that you imported under Imported Archives, select your corresponding XSL Program)
u2022 Test this mapping program by navigating to Test tab.
By having look at above steps you can easily find out that this mapping is no where different from other mapping programs, here the challenging lies in creating an XSLT file. If you spend couple of minutes in studying XPATH tutorial you would be in ideal position to create an XSL Transformation (.xsl extension).
If you still find difficulties in generating XSL Transformation, then you can make use of a tool u201CAltova MapForceu201D which will create XSL file for you.
Steps for creating XSL file using this tool:
1. Open the Alto MapForce, import the source .xml and .xsd file in it
2. Similarly import the target .xml and .xsd in MapForce.
3. These two data files should match with source and target data types in Integration Repository.
4. Complete the graphical mapping using extensive list of XSLT functions available there.
5. Save the mapping file.
6. Click the XSLT tab. You will have the entire xslt logic there.
7. Copy that content and save it as .xsl file.
8. Zip above .xsl file and import the same into IR under Imported Archives.
Hope this clears your doubts

Can't run wiki and web services at the same time?

I'm a newbie with Lion Server, but I've been running several web sites successfully for about 6 months. I'm up to Server 10.7.4.
I've been trying ever since the first installation of Server to get the wiki service running. I had absolutely no luck until I turned OFF the web service (always got the "URL does not exist" error when I tried to create a group wiki from inside the Server app). With the web service off, it all starts up fine and I created my first wiki (woohoo). Turning web service back on kills access to the wiki. I don't find reference to this in any of the dicussions, and especially not in Apple's documentation.
Are the Wiki and Web services mutually exclusive? Or is there a way around this?
I'm using Dyndns to provide me with sub-domains to use, and I've dedicated one of them to the wiki service. Traffic comes in on port 8080, where my web sites are on port 80.
Thanks for any pointers...

LR supports tethering using a Canon DLL and EOS Utility probably also supports tethering or at least uses something from a similar Canon DLL. You probably cannot have two different versions of that DLL loaded at the same time, so it makes sense there are problems.

SAML assertion attributes and Web Services

Just want to clarify for myself something about SAML token within Web Services Security.
As I understand SAML attribute assertions cannot be used within Web Service business logic tier because all security header information are unavailable within Web Service implementation context. And the only one reason for sender to submit attributes along with SAML authentication assertion is to allow SecurityEnvironmentHandler more information about trusted identity. Is it right?

Hi finally I get it (thank you Gautam!!!),
public class CustomWlsPrincipal extends WLSAbstractPrincipal implements WLSUser {
        public CustomWlsPrincipal(String name) {
          super();
          // Feed the WLSAbstractPrincipal.name. Mandatory
          this.setName(name);
}So you need to invoke the parent class setName(String) method. If not you will get a NullPointerException.
Implementing the equals and hashCode is also convenient.
Hope it helps,
Luis

Building client proxies for web services with SOAP attachemtns

Hi all.
I'm currently building a series of web services that take SOAP attachments as
input, but I am unable to generate the java proxies for testing the services via
WebLogic Workshop 8.1. When I attempt to build the proxy, I get the following
error:
Warning: Failed to generate client proxy from WSDL definition for this service.
Suggestion: Please verify the <types> section of the WSDL.
Is there something I need to alter to get this to work, or does workshop not support
client proxies for web services with DataHandler parameters?
Thanks.

Thanks for the help. This is my first web service with SOAP attachments, so it
may have been a long time till I realized that.

Thanks Brian,
The problem is that you are trying to use the "document" soap-style :-)
If you change this to "rpc", you'll should be able to successfully generate
the
client proxy jar. The soap-style property, is at the bottom of the "protocol"
property sheet section, for the JWS.

If there should be any questions, comments, etc on this weblog, please post it here, so that it is easier to handle the traffic. We are also interested to see if anyone does actually use the tool.

Hiya,
I saw this blog posted a while back and have only now had a chance to use it - very cool work there Brian and Steffan!
The only thing is I'm having what looks like the same problem as Maximilian!
We're on 620 sp45.
Everything installed fine, I tweaked the mime version code for 620 (me->ifur_d2_system~css_version) and the left hand side of the screen, the editor itself, looks and works fine - but the preview screen doesn't work, the BSP is displayed with no theme at all.
I opened the BSP in a new page with default theme and set the theme manually with paramters and this doesn't work either.
i.e.
http://<host>:<port>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/it05/entrypoint.htm?sap-themeRoot=%2fsap%2fpublic%2fbc%2fur%2fdesign2002%2fthemes%2falfs1000202FFE4C43B2D1B7D674EDAA520565656
But if I try with an SAP standard theme everything works fine and the new theme is picked up correctly
i.e.
http://<host>:<port>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/it05/entrypoint.htm?sap-themeRoot=%2fsap%2fpublic%2fbc%2fur%2fdesign2002%2fthemes%2f~sap_standard
I've checked the URL encoding (using program BSP_DECODE_URL) and with the alfs theme this looks fine.
In the source code the stylesheets are referenced using the correct themeRoot i.e.
<link id="urstyle" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/sap/public/bc/ur/design2002/themes/alfs1000202FFE4C43B2D1B7D674EDAA520565656/ur/ur_ie6.css">
When I set a break point in the ALFS HTTP handler this is not picked up.
BUT the one really puzzling thing about all this is that whilst I've been trying to fix this and work out what is going wrong I've made small changes to the ALFS class, i.e. to change the default BSP application used in the editor, and sometimes after generating the class code, refereshing both browser and system caches, everything worked fine - even the debugging of the HTTP handler - for some generated themes - and then stopped working again!
Now I know how this reads - and I've worked with enough users in my time to know you must be thinking - well she must have changed something! But I really can't work out what it could have been.
I've been round and round trying to reproduce what ever it was to get this working.
I've tried all the following in various combinations:
- restarting ICM
- removing ALFS HTTP handler from ICF service
- starting with a completely new copy of the class
- adding alert statements to the ALFS editor page to track themeRoot values
- changing the code relating to me->ifur_d2_systemcss_version and me->ifur_d2_systemur_version so that there is a version number (tried 'urversion=DAT<date>' and plain 'DAT<date>'), changed the code so there is no version number used at all.
- even (don't laugh!) put the ALFS HTTP handler on node SAP/BS/BSP just to make sure the external debugger was still working (it was). At this point I could see each time it was called, and since each call did not have the alfs string in it, all the internal class processing was correctly skipped.
All of the above in combination with cache refreshing on both server and brower side and logging on/off.... and still feel no closer to resolving this.
From what I understand, the ALFS HTTP handler is called everytime a MIME or theme object is requested from the theme root - as this is the only time that a request would pass via SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR. And I understand that if the requested object is already cached, there will be no request passing via this node, so the ALFS HTTP handler won't be called - but think that there must be some important point relating to caching that I must have missed ...
So that's my first question... help!
Also, Brian, what you have mentioned before, this patch you have to take a theme, patch it with ALFS then import it into the theme editor - this sounds like exactly what we need to do ... I couldn't see any weblogs relating to this - so could you point me in the right direction??
We have no portal so I'll be trying the standalong theme editor plug in for Eclipse.
Thanks in advance,
Cathy
