External services with limits

Hi Sap gurus,
In the external services if I am going for Over all limit,contract limit
& other limit process.
In the above combination,How the other limit will play the role?Pl explain with example.
Regards
Umapathy.M

Hi,
"Other Limit" is free limit and does not relate to any outline agreement (unlike contract limit). Under this limit, you can enter services from any outline agreement and also services which have no OA.
Cheers !

Using XI WebService in CAF as external service with Logical Destination?

Hello,
I created a scenario WebService -> XI -> WebService in a PI7.1 system. I used the Web Service Wizard in order to generate a WSDL. If I test it for example in XMLSpy it works fine.
We then imported this WSDL into CAF as external service. That also works.
Now we have to map the CAF Service to a logical Destination. This has to be maintained in NWA. But here we need a URL to the WSDL. I cannot use the local WSDL Filed which I from that WebService Wizard.
Is there any generic URL were I can get the WSDL for the WebService which calls the XI Interface?
Thanks and Best Regards

Good Idea. I tried that. I added the WSDL to a Web Module and deployed it with the CAF ear module. It is now available via: http://vmw2469.wdf.sap.corp:50000/testxi/GLAccountPostingSync_Out_PI71.wsdl
If I test it directly in WSNavigator it works fine, but if I map my CAF Service to the logical Destination which is also using that URL, I get the following error:
com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.query.exceptions.TechnicalException: Deserializing WSDL stream http://vmw2469.wdf.sap.corp:50000/testxi/GLAccountPostingSync_Out_PI71.wsdl failed
If I try to find the service via the function "Search by Logical Destination" I get the following error:
Invalid content type while requesting http://vmw2469.wdf.sap.corp:50000/testxi/GLAccountPostingSync_Out_PI71.wsdl. Expected Content-type: text/xml, received Content-type: content/unknown, used user to connect: most
Has someone any idea what the problem could be?

External service with notification

hi experts,
i am creating notification through maintenance plance , but in some cases customer give AMC so in that case how is the senerio for external service(i am not create order i want solution with out order ) , how can i create pr automatic of through notification, integrat service sheet with notification for further invoice to party
thanks,
utkarsh

Hi Utkarsh,
SAP suggests two types of procurement process via Maintenance Plan.
1. Standard process: Maint.Plan -> Maint.Order -> PR -> PO -> SES
2. Accelerated process: a. Maint.Plan -> Maint.Order -> PR -> SES
b. Maint.Plan -> PR -> SES
c. Maint.Plan -> SES
you need to have appropriate Maintenance Plan Category(with defined number range in the system) while creating the maintenance plan.
As you said it is Annual Maintenance Contract with vendor/service provider, you can create a Frame work order for that and can post your SES against it whenever vendor perform maintenance service.
I guess you can make use of ME58 transaction for posting SES against FO, please check I am not quite sure about this.
Please let me know if it meets your requirement.
Thanks,

Sudharsan

Joining two external services with CAF

Hi,
I'm trying to join two external services in one. I need the input parameters of the first service and the output parameters of the second one and the relation between the two services is made by an ID that is common in both services (output of the first service, input of the second). The idea is to make a method that could read the output parameter of the first service and send it to the input parameter of the second service, in order to show the results of the second service. I have made a CAF project but I need extra coding in Java. Could anybody give me a similar example or something that could guide me?
Thanks in advance,
Jon

Hi Julius,
I have sent a mail to this mail id with a attached file -->
     'julius3419'
Please have a look at that and provide me some guidance.
It contains the following content :
I have two major doubts at this point:
   When I publish my services using WSADMIN or from SOAMANAGER, I choose publish services and endpoints, so why do I have to manually create a service and the endopints for that in SOAMANAGER(SOAMANAGER -> business administration -> web service administration -> search service ).
When I am performing the configuration steps, in the attached .pdf,          (page 11 of pdf)we first create a service registry parameter SR_UDDI (do we have to compulsarily give a version number there), we use the Logical Port "LP_WORKPLACE ". But after that step we proceed to create a Logical Port in LPCONFIG   I. Proxy Class: "CO_ESREGISTRY_WSSI"                                                                                II. Logical port: "LP_WORKPLACE". Include a Description ,            So are we using the Logical Port initially and then creating it ?

Ordering of External services with Contract

Hi,
The below requirement is for one of our clients project.
Generally in their business, All External service contracts are created as Framework orders in SAP. These Framework orders are attached to PM(Plant maintenance) work orders as of now for Ordering External services. 'Framework Order' field is present in Operations External tab of PM Work Order.
The Requirement is to link the above Framework orders to PS Network activities as well. I couldnt find a field 'Framework order' present in External tab of Network activity. How the link is possible?? Is it possible through standard config settings???
Quick response is appreciated.
Thankyou.
Regards,
Karthik

Hello,
In the specific PM order goto "Additional Data" tab page and input the PS Network-Activity number.
This would associate the particular PM order the specifice PS Nework Activity.
Thanks

External services with service specifications.

Can someone please explain the processes for service specifications stepwise wrt to the tcodes.

Hi
Further to clarify to what Mr Maheswaran had said -
1. Service codes are created by MM consultant for each services.
2. You assign these services to your external operation. you also assign control key PM03 so that PR can be triggered from the order & then PO & service entry with respect to maint. order.
You can also do PR/PO independently without any reference to your maint. order with account assignment category F.
At the time of service entry (ML81N) you do it with reference to maint. order.

Call external service in a Application service created from ES

Hi Experts
I have the follow situation:
I've modeled a new service in Enterprise Service Builder. This service i'll implement in caf application. In the method create by application i'll call one method of external service.
I imported this modeled service in Create Web Service Provider option in external package, select the Enterprise Service Repository source option and choice the respective Service Interface.
In this moment the caf created a new application service, with methods of modeled service. That's all right.
Now i import a external service of esworkplace. All the step are ok. But the problem is going to next step.
I need to call this imported service in the method of application service. I know 3 way to do this:
1. Mapping the external service with this application service. In this case i have a problem - the method of external service is expose as web service, and i don't want this. Just the method of modeled service must be expose.
2. Create another application service, map the external service with this application service, and create a depency between this application service and the application service created by modeled service. I think this work fine and resolve the problem of expose the method of external service. However i think this isn't a good way to do.
3. Instantiate the service class of exernal service. From this class i can call the method of external service in application service. But now i have another problem. If i see the implementation of this class, it have a static block which call a URL class, and pass as parameter a wsdl file located in one directory of my computer like
url = new java.net.URL("file:/D:/SAP7110Workspace.jdi/LocalDevelopment/CRVP/demo.sap.com//ejbmodule/
_comp/tmp/0/EJB/src/META-INF/xml/ext/rootwsdl_WorkCentreSimpleByPlantQueryResponse_InService.wsdl");
when execute the application in the server it don't find this file and i give one error.
I think the best way to do is the 3° way. But why did the caf generate the URL with My computer directory instead of in directory of application? There are some solution to this problem?
I've change this line manualy, but all the time when i generate the project, i need change this code again.
Regards
Marcos

Hi,
You may consume external service via JNDI
Context context = new InitialContext();
<JNDI OBJECT> local = (<CAST JNDI OBJECT>)context.lookup("<JNDI OBJECT>");
//Call the method
If you are using CE 7.11, go to NWA -> Problem Management -> JNDI browser > ..... -> ObjectName for <JNDI OBJECT>

Problem external Services mapping to Destination

Hi Experts
I've developed a composite application, in this aplication, i've imported a external service. This service i get from esworkplace.
I follow the steps of this tutorial:[http://sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c02f408d-7d72-2a10-5790-e268ec4d94ef|Consume enterprise service...]
When i go to the external service configuration to map the service, this service isn't there.
Then i can't map the external service with a destination, and i can't execute it, because i need authetication.
How can i solve this? There are some steps to put the external service there?
I use NWDS 7.11 EHP1 SP01.

Marcos

Hi sampath
i've done this things in this document, the only difference is my SR is pointed the esworkplace and my eclipse is pointed to my SR. Now, i try to do exaclty how is in this document.
i configured my eclipse to access the SR of esworkplace, but when i import the service in the registry some error occur:
Unable to connect to the Services Registry - Unable to connect to sr.esworkplace.sap.com:80 - Connection timed out: connect
i've configure the service registry and proxy of my eclipse.
What can i do now? Do you have some suggestion?

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space, and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run t media from an external hard drive? If so, how do I transfer my files?

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space (32 GB), and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run itunes from an external hard drive? I have tried to follow some of the directions on this site, but am having no success. Thanks.

iTunes will run fine with the media on an external drive.
However, I suggest that a tablet computer with a tiny hard drive is not ideal as the primary computer for managing an iTunes library, even a small one. If you have another machine, perhaps a big, boxy, inexpensive old desktop with a decent amount of storage, that might be a better choice.

Issue with calling external web service with authentication details ...

Mail Service With Internal vs External Domain Question

I have a SLS setup with a private domain ex: server.acmewidgets.private
The local dns resolves correctly
I have a static IP for this server and I would like it to handle the email for my domain which is ex: acmewidgets.com
(Currently acmewidgets.com has been having it's website and email handled by an external source)
Do I need to reinstall the SLS with the domain server.acmewidgets.com to get the email working correctly? Or do I simply just point the MX Records to the static IP of server.acmewidgets.private?
If I do not need to reinstall, what needs to be done to create the flow of email in and out of the SLS?

No need to re-install Snow Leopard Server, you will need however to configure a few things.
First up you will need to configure the Mail service to accept mail for this external domain as at the moment it will be configured to only accept mail for your local domain.
In *Server Admin*, go to the Mail section and click on Advanced, now click on Hosting. In the hosting section you can add as many domains as you like for the mail server to accept mail for, the simplest way is to add the domains as virtual hosts.
Point your external MX records to the address for the server so that mail will be directed to your server. If your server is on a fixed external IP address then all done.
If your server is behind a firewall and on a private IP address you will need to forward port 25 on your firewall to the Snow Leopard Server. If you are also running DNS you should create a new Zone for your external domain with MX records that point to your Snow Leopard Server as clients will need to know that your server is the final delivery destination for that domain. If your server really is on a live fixed external IP address this step is not necessary.

Accessing external web service with non-constant URL

Hello, all
I am looking in the documentation on accessing external web services, but either I am looking in the wrong place, or the documentatoin is lacking info.
My clients have several web services in the local network (regular services, not DB-based), the have the same interface, but different URL's.
Versions of the DB are 11, 12, and 16.
First of all, I do not see in the specs an option for a non-hardcoded URL. The logic says that this has to be possible, but I cannot find it.
Second, I need to see an example of accessing an XML or JSon based service, I cannot find it in the specs either.
Can anyone point me to a document with examples?
Thank you
Arcady

The following will call a web service with whatever URL you pass in as the argument "myurl". I think that is what you are looking for.
CREATE PROCEDURE cli_test2( myurl LONG VARCHAR )
RESULT( httpheaders long varchar, httpvalues long varchars
URL '!myurl'
To deal with the resulting data in XML, use the OPENXML() function.
eg. To turn an XML list of employees that looks like this:
<root>
<row EmployeeID="102" Surname="Whitney" GivenName="Fran" StartDate="1984-08-28"/>
</root>
into a table of results, you would do this (where xmlgetemplist() is the web service call):
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE xmlgetemplist() RESULT( httpheader long varchar, httpbody long varchar)
URL 'http://localhost/demo/xmlEmployeeList'
TYPE 'HTTP:GET';
create variable res long varchar;
-- call the web service
select httpbody into res from xmlgetemplist() where httpheader = 'Body'
-- extract the XML elements into a SQL result set
select * from openXML( res, '/root/row' ) WITH ( EmployeeID INT '@EmployeeID',
       GivenName    CHAR(20) '@GivenName',
       Surname      CHAR(20) '@Surname',
       PhoneNumber CHAR(10) '@Phone');
To deal with the resulting data in JSON, use the sp_parse_json() procedure.
eg.
To turn a JSON formatted list of employees that looks like this:
"EmployeeID": 102,
"Surname": "Whitney",
"GivenName": "Fran",
"StartDate": "1984-08-28",
"TerminationDate": null
into a table of results, you would do this (where jsongetemplist() is the web service call):
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE jsongetemplist() RESULT( httpheader long varchar, httpbody long varchar)
URL 'http://localhost/demo/jsonEmployeeList'
TYPE 'HTTP:GET';
create variable foo long varchar;
--call the webservice
select httpbody into foo from jsongetemplist() where httpheader = 'Body';
--turn the json result into a structured array of data
-- this step is required because of less structured nature of JSON
call sp_parse_json( 'output_array', foo);
--extract the JSON elements from the output array into a SQL result set
SELECT output_array[[row_num]].EmployeeID as EmployeeID,
               output_array[[row_num]].SurName as SurName,
               output_array[[row_num]].GivenName as GivenName,
               output_array[[row_num]].StartDate as StartDate,
               output_array[[row_num]].TerminationDate as EndDate
FROM sa_rowgenerator(1, CARDINALITY(output_array))
Hope this helps,

Importing external web service with SSL certificate security

Has anyone ever consumed an external web service with SSL certificate security? How do you import this in your Web Dynpro project?
Cheers!

Hi Alain,
I just checked on a newer NW environment (NW 7.2) and was presented an empty list as well... It seems the mapping procedure I described is deprecated since NW 7.11, and the modeled CAF application service is already exposed as a web service.
You may want to have a look at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/43/f173947bbb025be10000000a1553f7/content.htm or http://scn.sap.com/message/7852996 for more info

External service operation with PO associated with it.

hi Gurus,
If a PR - PO is created with reference to external service operation of a maintenance order, then do system allow to delete this operation ? Is it standard SAP practice ?
I have observed in our case that, system is allowing external service operation to delete even though a PO is created with reference to the operation. System only gives a confirmation prompt ( PO is associated with this operation ) , if we select yes then operation gets deleted.
Is it logical when a operation is deleted though a PO is created with ref to it ?
For a non stock item , system does not allow the component to be deleted if a PO is created .
Kindly reply at the earliest.
Thanks
Maneesh

Hi,
In standard :- System does not allow you to delete external operations & components when PO is there ..
I think in ur system for external operation they might have change the error message IW 707 to warning or no message ..
Check this in config under spro >pm>maintenance and service orders -->message control -->Here for IW -707 , make as Cat -E Error message ..
Then try it up
