How to Expose CAF services as web services?

Hi friends,
I want to expose my CAF entity services and application services as web services.
Can I do that, if yes How?
In NWDS While designing the application service I have found two options in the <b>General</b> tab:
1) Remote Enabled Service [I am able to select it]
2) Web Service Enabled [I am not able to select it]
What is the significance of each
Also I am able to check first option but second option is disabled in my NWDS,
Can you guide me how can do that?
Thanks in advance for your time,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
Please have a look at this tutorial written by Austin:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5e9ca25b-0e01-0010-bbaa-f3b963e89edd
in there is a kind of step by step solution how to enable your application service as web service.
I am not sure if you can expose a entity service as a ws. The only way i know is mapping to an application service.
I hope this helps..
best regards,
rene

How to expose a application service as web service?

<UL>Hi Experts,
   <LI>I have created a business component and application service. i have also built and deployed it,
   <LI>Now I want to expose the application service operation as web service so that I can call the application service from XI or any webservice testing tool like SOAPUI or SOAPSONAR?
   <LI>What are the steps involved in doing this?
   <LI>I have selected application service then right clicked and selected "Expose service as web service".
   <LI>This has generated the WSDL file. After this I don't know what to do.
   <LI>In the WSDL file the soap address location is pointing to a default link (<soap:address location="http://www.example.org/"/>).
   <LI>What will be the actual location look like?
   <LI>For example: http://<CE server>:<Port>/? <--- what will I have to put here so as to give the exact location?
<LI>Thanks & Regards
<LI>Gopal
</UL>

Hi Gopal,
If I am not wrong, you need not do anything to the WSDL.
If you carefully look at your WSDL in your NWDS, the soap:address attribute will point to the default location. However, the 'location' attribute will be 'Empty'. When you Deploy the Composite Application on the server, the location attribute value will be replaced by http://<server host name>:<port>/<WebService Name>/<Application Service Name> in the WSDL on the server. The WSDL URL is generated using the same format, and that is how it recognizes the service.
You can deploy your application on the server and go to the Web Service Navigator and check the WDSL.

How to perform auth check on Web Service calling BAPI in R/3 via XI?

Hi all,
We are running Net weaver PI 7.0 SPS11 and 4.6C R/3 and working on proof-of-concept project using BAPIs exposed on XI as Web Services and called from external SOAP client (MS SharePoint). We got it working fine with HTTPS and SOAP protocol as Sender and RFC Adapter as Receiver to R/3.
Now we want to add authentication and authorization to this scenario...authentication will probably be SSO and SSL/HTTPS, but we are wondering how to handle authorizations in R/3? RFC Adapter channel is configured with system user, so once BAPI is called this use runs transactions in R/3 and in R/3, where the authorization is checked, we have no visibility which user requested Web service
Is there any way we could extract user is from HTTP header and have it dynamically used in RFC Adapter channel config? Or maybe there is another way to handle this?
Any insights how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Margaret

We found solution, PP can be configured on XI to have user running transaction known on R/3 backend system, so authorizations can be invoked.

Exposing RFC as a Web Service

Hello All,
I am working on a SOAP to SOAP (Backend as ECC where I am exposing an RFC as Web Service). Once the Web service is generated for RFC and the WSDL is imported in PI, I can see that all the fields in different nodes become mandatory.
Is it how normally Web Service for BAPI works or can this behaviour (mandatory / optional) be controlled ?
Also when I execute the end to end scenario via SOAP UI, I don't get any error back but also neither get the Return table nor the Sales Order NO. I am using the BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2.
Can it be because of no COMMIT (The BAPI uses external commit although this reason seems less likely as executing a RFC wo any commit atleast gives me a Sales Order no) ?
How can this call be analysed in backend ECC system ? (As I assume that messages will not be visible in SXMB_MONI as explained by the Harald's thread below. I am currently in process of getting authorization of SOAMANAGER logs but wondering how it'll help?
Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
Please see the SOAP ststud..
http://<host>:5<sys#>00/mdt/amtServlet
also you might check any error logs.
The error is because of invalid xml document. So check the validity of the xml message ie. after first mapping i.e Req mapping.
For this you can refer this -

Exposing legacy-system's service using web services

Hi everybody,
     I have questions about how web services can be used with legacy system.
Let�s say I have a server serving stock data. The server is just POJO, it isn�t web module, doesn�t run on any J2EE container and client will request for data using my proprietary API which run over TCP/IP. My question is that what is the best practice or widely used pattern for exposing my stock service through web services.
     I�m not a web service expert so I think the easiest patter may be using web services as an adapter for my API. I�ll use jax-rpc to create web services StockWS.war and deploy it on a web server running on the same machine with my stock server. The web services will, in turn, internally use my proprietary API to request data.
I can see 2 problems in the above approach.
1. The need of web server. Administrator needs to start 2 processes; stock server and the web server containing StockWS.war. It would be great if I can get everything work in one process. Is there any framework or API that my stock server can internally use to intercept soap request over HTTP so that I don�t need a web server and everything is encapsulated in one process?
2. Performance. There will be my API sit between web services runtime layer and my stock server which may cause performance issue. If I can find a framework I�ve mentioned in problem1 then I can get rid of the API layer.
Please ignore my grammar mistakes.
Any suggestion is welcome, and if you have experiences integrating web services with your legacy system, feel free to share it here.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
With regards to your statemetn "SDN downloaded document says to Generate Webservice URL through ABAP"   <- can you tell me more please? references/links/attachment?
As far as I am aware, that the type of web service required for integration it a 'normal' Netweaver Web app server web service.
There are limitations about the complexity of the WSDL - see Notes:
1653655 - Limitations in Web Service WSDL URL usage in Xcelsius 4.0
1703839 - Limitations of Web service usage in Xcelsius / Dashboard Design
also , changes between SAP versions requires reworking the WSDL
Note 1625091 - The WSDL URL for web service which generated in SAP Enterprise Central Component cannot be loaded into Xcelsius

Benefits of exposing function module as web services

Hi All,
We are developing a case study about exposing function modules as web services.
Those web services would be later used for integration to SAP box with a Java application.
Kindly help me with the pros and cons of exposing function modules as web services when compared to SAP PI. Also please do quote some examples, wherever possible.
Thanks,
Varun

Hi Varun,
Pros--->
1)Exposing FM as Web Services is indeed a good choice when you want service consumer to be platform and language independent.
i.e it can be consumed by .Net, java or any other language.
2) You are moving towards SOA
3) Composing Business Process by concatenating different functional modules is easy.
4) Complexity is less while consuming services Java, CAF etc.
Cons----> Performance for Web Services is comparatively less than JCo .
If you are bringing PI in between landscape, you are increasing one more layer of middleware which would also hit performance.
The benefit which PI can give is monitoring your company wide integrations at one central point when you have huge systems.
Hope this helps.

How to Expose SOA component as Rest Service

Hi,
Is there a example to show how to expose SOA component as Rest Service using Http Binding adapter ?
or
How to call Rest Service from BPEL/Composite application ?
Thanks,
Naveen
Edited by: 975104 on Dec 21, 2012 1:57 AM

Please refer Real Web Services with REST and ICF for creation of rest services in sap. The BAPI will have to be called in your handler class.
I think your best bet would be to transfer the data in the body of the http request and use simple transformation(with multiple roots) to convert the xml data to sap formats. GZIP can also be used to compress the data that is being sent. We have done this successfully in one of our projects.
However this approach(RESTful Service) would involve more work when compared to the approach suggested by Vikram. If SOAP based services are ok, then you should go ahead with Vikram's approach.

Expose Business rules as Web Service

Hi,
I'm quite new to business rules, and I haven't found any definite information about can I and how expose business rules application as Web Service? In Decision Functions I can check "Will be invoked as webservice", but how can I deploy it on server and so on?
Thanks in advance.

Hi PK,
Sorry What i meant was composite service, not web service
Used wrong wording
In your composite if you have only businessrules as a component and if you are exposing your BR as service, and if u deploy that process it will give you a wsdl for that composite, which means for BR. Because the client is calling BR it self.

Exposing a process as web service on Oracle BPM 11g

Hi!
Does somebody know how can I expose a process as a web service on Oracle BPM 11g? How does it works?
In the version 10.3, when we exposed a process as web service it always had 3 default methods: startSession, getInstanceStatus and discardSession, is it the same in the 11g version?
Where can I found some info about it? Any tutorial?
Thanks a lot!
Ana

Typically you would use a Message Start event to start the process in conjunction with a Message End event. This will allow your process to be called as an asynchronous web service.
In the "Implementation" section for the start event, you specify the input parameters. You can specify "Define Interface" to directly define the interface, or use an existing interface from the BPM Catalog (the From Catalog option).
For further details on the different event types and their use cases, refer to the modeling and implementation guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e15176/toc.htm
You can test the web service and examine the WSDL and endpoints by using FMW control (Enterprise Manager). In the menu on the left hand side: expand SOA -> SOA-Infra -> <Partition Name> -> Composite Name, then click the "Test" button at the top.

How can I call a SAPME web service from MII such as PlaceFutureHold?

Dears,
How can I call a SAPME web service from MII such as PlaceFutureHold?
By using MII, I would like to develop some logic to check some values which query from SAPME database, if the value is out of spec, it needs to send a emal to inform user ans also hold the SFC.
Thanks!

With Web service action block you can view all ME available services
in I.E
https://sapme:5000/manufacturing-services/ProductionServiceService?wsdl you could see your FutureHold service
To do that in MII, you need Web Service action block. Have you work with MII transaction before?
(saw your post in MII)

How to install and consume GroupWise Web Service (SOAP)

Hello! I'm Razvan, programmer from Romnia, and I am new to GroupWise development.
I am asking if anyone could help me with a C# Visual Studio 2010 example of how to install and consume GroupWise Web Service (SOAP).
The documentation from novell site didn't help me, i didn't understant much of it.
All I need is either a link to a documented GroupWise C# developer step-by-step tutorial, or some code examples.
Can you please show me some code examples in C# with:
1)loging in using a username and a password,
2)retrieving contact list,
3)retrieving appointment list,
4)sending a mail,
5)setting an appointment
I don't know how to use "groupwise.wsdl" and customise it so that it points to our GroupWise server.
Please, I really need this because I am working at a project right now which involves GroupWise integration.
I hope I haven't disturbed anyone with my simple question.
I know this might be a very simple question given the complexity of the other posts here, but that's why I really hope I will get an answer soon.
Thank you very much!
