How to test an Enterprise service?

Hi Experts,
Iam very new to this Enterprise Service. I need to test an Enterprise service from my ABAP system.
What is the Pre requistics to test the Enterprise service?
What is the necessity of WS Navigator ,SOAPUI and SOA Manager?
Is SOAP UI need seperate license?
Can you refer documents that has steps to test a Enterprise service from scratch?
Iam in ECC 6 and my system donot have Java stack.
I can locate my service in SOA Manager , I couldnt figure out how to test it?
Help me..
Regards
Karthiheyan M

Hi Karthiheyan,
Start with this very comprehensive end-to-end guide, Enterprise SOA Development Handbook 1.1:
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/40db4735-02f9-2a10-b198-a888a056bb67?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]
The guide above will help you understand most aspects around Enterprise SOA / Enterprise Services in SAP. The important thing to understand is that SAP Enterprise Services are shipped in an implemented state but they are not configured, so may exist in ECC 6.0 but can't be used until you configure (setup binding & authorization profiles etc.) & this is where SOAMANAGER is used - Configuration of the web service for use.
WS Navigator & SoapUI are webservice test tools. WS Navigator is shipped with any SAP Java stack & SoapUI is a free test tool. So, once you've configured your webservice for usage, use the URL (with binding) in WS Navigator or SoapUI to test your webservice.

How to test swaref web service method

My simple web service method:
     @WebMethod
     @XmlAttachmentRef
     public DataHandler getFile() {
          FileDataSource file = new FileDataSource("c:\\1.gif");
          DataHandler handler = new DataHandler(file);
          return handler;
the generated wsdl codes:
*<xs:complexType name="getFileResponse">*
*<xs:sequence>*
*<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="file" type="swaRef:swaRef" />*
*</xs:sequence>*
*</xs:complexType>*
I always use Eclipse web service explorer to test web service, but it doesn't support swaref web service method.
Then I use axis WSDL2JAVA to generate web service client, but the generated "getFile" return type is not "DataHandler", but "org.apache.axis.types.URI".

Hello..
How did u develop the webservice?
I mean did u develop the Webservice using Enter prise Java Bean....
Wrap EJB in ear and deploy to the Server and now u can test the EJB method
whether it is working fine or not
Try these -
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/de/f7/af60f2e04d0848888675a800623a81/frameset.htm
Inorder to use the webservice in the Webdynpro, normally we will use the WSDL of webservice
and Import the model using any one of them
After importing as model we can use the EJB methods!
Try it !!
Thanks

Manual Testing of Enterprise services

Hello Colleagues,
Please let me know the different methodes of testing Enterprise services manually.
I have used below methodes :
SPROXY
SOAMANAGER
SOAP UI
Is there any other way apart from the once mentioned above.
Also let me know how to test the non sap services in an SAP environment, for example the standard services are avalialbe in the UDDI how can i test these services in an SAP environment.
Please let me know if you need any further details.
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
SPROXY ---> This t-code is used to generate/create webservices from out of application system(R/3 or ECC system) called OUTSIDE IN APPROACH.Where the webservice will be generated on inbound service interface and we can test the webservice from here.
SOAMANAGER -
> When ever we create a proxy on inbound service interface.we need to implement the method(interface) and logic will be written based on our requirement.The name of the interface will be displayed in SOAMANAGER to make it as WEBSERVICE we need to create endpoint and binding,now it will be exposed as webservice and after that we can generate WSDL file and we can test from WS NAVIGATOR.
SOAP UI : The above exposed webservice or generated WSDL can be tested using the test tool like SOAP UI.
Hope it clears.....
Thanks

How to activate an enterprise service for use?

Hi experts,
I want to use a web service out of the bundle "Technical Document Management Connectivity". The web service is called "Read Document File Variant".
I know to use WSCONFIG to configure web services for use. But I can not find this web service listed there. I know that we have installed EnhP1 and EnhP2 on our system and the above mentioned web service is shipped with EnhP2.
Do I have to activate some swichtes within the Switch Framework in transaction SFW5 first? Can somebody tell me which switches to active for what specific enterprise service?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards
Lars

To explain the concept
The Switch Framework allows you to control the visibility of objects or their components by means of switches.Between the business function sets and the industry packages are the switches.
It is the business function that is switched on, not the switch itself therefore you have to use Transaction SFW5 find the business function and then activate it - in order to use it.
Hope this helps

How to consume SAP enterprise services over https using third party tools?

Hi guys,
am just testing consumption of ES using jboss instead of NW for client applications. The ES in our internal ERP are bit strange, ie. they are using HTTPS transport even though you can configure ES with HTTP transport. (in this case, the requests are always redirected to HTTPS one). Wanna hear from perhaps someone who had similar experiences about
- Have you encountered the situation that ES can only exposed as HTTPS WS. Is there any way to enable HTTP ES?
- The way to consume ES over HTTPs. How to configure and generate the client which can talk HTTPs with ES?
Any comnments are thankful.
Best,
Ji
Edited by: Ji Hu on Oct 1, 2010 3:20 PM

Thanks.
Have solved the problem. I need to configure my client, i.e. JVM to connect the server with https. The generated ws client stub itself does not need to care about HTTPS or HTTP transport.
In some case, one do have enabled HTTP transport via soamanager, but it never became HTTP (redirected to HTTPS). I have no idea why, but have to talk in HTTPS as the only one option.

How to test Adobe Document Service credentials

Hi,
I have installed a sneak preview version of Java stack 7.0. With that I have downloaded the latest credentials from the sdn and followed these steps.
Copied the .pfx file to <INST_DRIVE>:\usr\sap\J2E\SYS\global\AdobeDocumentServices\TrustManagerService\trust\credentials.
Logged into visual admin .
On the Cluster tab, choose Server 0 -> Services -> Document Services Configuration
On the Runtime tab, select Credentials
Choose Browse to search for the name of the credential and then Select
In the Alias field, enter the alias of the credential you installed, for example ReaderRights. (Entries for the name of the credential are case-sensitive)
In Password field, enter the password you received together with the credential you installed (filename.txt in the archive). Confirm the password again and then click Add
Restart the following services for the changes to take effect: PDF Manipulation Module, Document Services Trust Manager. To perform this, right-click on the repective service choose Stop and after the service has stopped, Start it again
Restart also the application com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices located at Server 0 -> Services -> Deploy (radio button Application)
After doing so I tried executing the demo application from the link :
http://localhost:50100/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/TutWD_OnlineInteractiveForm/OnlineInteractiveFormApp
But the applicaiton was not getting executed. I got an error :
The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:

Does it means that the credentials are not installed properly?
I tried executing the Webservice of ADS using the URL: http://localhost:50100/AdobeDocumentServices/Config
But it is asking for username and password.
Can anyone guide me what would have gone wrong. Is there any other way by which I can test ADS.
Thanks for your help.
Points will be awarded for valuable answers.
Thanks,
Nirmal G

Hello Experts,
Now after changing the password of ADSUser I can execute the web service sucessfully. I am getting response with version number.
But still the demo application link is giving this error.

How to test my SOAP Servicer is working?

Hi...
I'm developing a server and client SOAP from the saaj-simple.war example.
I modified and it doesn't work but I can not identify which are wrong the server or client SOAP.
I think the problem is in the urlEndpoint, in my case the client should call to:
http://localhost:8080/indas400/servlet/con.indas.soap.SOAPReceiver
this is the URL where the server soap is.
Could you suggest me any idea to test the client and server independently?
Thanks a lot.

Ok, resolved this another way. Instead of using OS X's built in proxy, I used the proxy of the FTP client. After connecting to the remote server, I see transfers show up in the meters of Machine 1 and Machine 2.
Also, I moved to SFTP instead of FTP. One blog post indicated that FTP for some reason cannot be proxied.

How to start developing an Enterprise Service

Hi everybody.
I'm a student who writes his diploma thesis at the moment.
My aim is to identify different serivce candidates with the aid of a roadmap methodology in my company. After doing a business process analysis and identifying all the IT systems and interfaces to external systems I want to develop a enterprise (web) service (with ABAP/Java) offering some type of masterdata from SAP HCM and deploy it to the Exchagne Infrastructure of my company.
But I don't know how to start. There is too much (poor) information. Until know I did not find concrete howto-guides with examples for "developing a service" (both ABAP and Java), "deploying and testing a service with XI". Could somebody give me some hints?
I have access to the ABAP workbench, XI and the NWDS and have read all the theoretical stuff about SOA and SAP ESOA.
Thanks in advance,
Stefan

Hello all,
I can't figurate how to list all the root directories
(C:/> , D:/>, E:/> etc.) in a system.
I know how to recursively check the content of a
directory and all its subdirectories when a
predefined path is defined. However what I' d like to
do is actually give the option to pick one of the
root directories to start the iteration. I have been
looking around but I can' really find anything
helpful.
If any of you has any idea on how to achieve the
above objective some clarification would be really
appreciated.

Mapping ALE functionality to Enterprise Services

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am in an assignment to leverage Enterprise Services in the project and as part of it i need to understand how we can use Enterprise Services for the following requirements which are well supported by ALE/Idoc functionality.
1) Master Data Distribution - We have ALE Change Pointers mechanism to track the changes done to the master data (Customer/Material/Vendor) and we can process the changes and create the idocs for the same by EOD. Changes are tracked based on the field level and interface level(Message Type). How can we leverage this change pointer mechanism in Enterprise Services.
2) Best practice to trigger the Outbound enterprise services from ECC system.
3) There are various tools to monitor IDOCs in ECC, what all are the tolls/transactions for monitoring the Enterprise Service.
4) What is your view on IDOC V/s Enterprise Service
Regards,
Pras

Hi Prasanna,
These are two quite different technologies and framework here that your questions are about. One is SMD (Shared Master Data) tool which involves change pointers & IDocs and the other is an Enterprise Service for example an ABAP Proxy or a Web Service.
1. Why would a customer want to do that especially for standard master data applications like Customer Master, Vendor Master, Material Master etc? I mean I don't understand the benefit of it when all these standard applications already support SMD. If a customer really wants these same functionalities via an Enterprise Service then they basically have to develop more custom applications to support this - for e.g. a Z program which will essentially replace BD21 to process the change pointers (CP) per application i.e. call the associated ABAP Proxy which will then create/do not create IDocs, process the CP by applying business logic, generate XML for PI to distribute further, email/do not email business owner, change the status of the CP depending on the outcome of the processing, exception handling etc. etc. But this whole thing, in my view, is cumbersome and sort of unnecessary as most of these things could be achieved via the SMD tool (except creating the IDoc itself of course!)
The other way, to totally get rid of the CPs and process every change via ES - one would have to enhance all applications in question to call the ES (ABAP Proxy) at the time of master data change! There is no equivalent of BD64 in ES so I don't understand the purpose to be honest.
2. In my view, to trigger it as an Outbound Proxy or Client Proxy via Method call.
3. SXMB_MONI
4. Like I said in the beginning, its like comparing two different technologies - I guess in the end it comes down to the business requirement at hand. Both can be very efficient (or very inefficient if deployed incorrectly).

Itu2019s not a problem with host or port inaccessibility (I already got access to start page, sld, Runtime WorkBench, etc.).
Letu2019s look closer to, for example, library url : http://v2:51400/run/repository/com.sap.xpi.ibrep.client.jar (taken from jnlp file content). When I paste it to the browser I get error u201CThe requested resource does not exist.u201D (as I expected). So I have changed root in the url from u201Crunu201D to u201Crepu201D (correspondingly to XI 3.0 and PI 7.0) u2013 http://v2:51400/rep/repository/com.sap.xpi.ibrep.client.jar and I succeed in downloading single library file!!!!.
But!!!! I canu2019t change jnlp file content either on client (because itu2019s overwritten every time I launch the application) and server (because it is generated form template and system properties every time I launch the application) side, so itu2019s not solution but shows that there is something wrong with library resources or/and with jnlp script generation on PI 7.1 platform (why urls in jnlp script points to resources which does not exists in expected location?).
The question is : How to run properly Enterprise Services Builder and Integration Builder Directory on PI 7.1 platform and what is the reason of errors I have described above.

Hi Szymon,
thanks for the suggestion.
I had a a bit spot of bother, too.
I found out that my Java didn't inherit browser proxy settings, even if corresponding flag was checked (I don't know why...).
I manually set proxy properties in Java and now ESB run
hope this help someone else
regards

Enterprise Service Operation missing in VC 7.01

Hi all,
I have created a Enterprise service with two operations. When I test the enterprise service in the SOA Manager I see both operations in the webservice. When I use the same WSDL file in a systeem in VC I just get one operation.
Can someone tell me what the problem is?
Kind Regards,
Richard

Hi Radi
Thanks for your post.
Type "run programs made for previous versions of windows" in start menu search, if it gives any result as "Run programs made for previous versions of Windows" then you are able to run that application in compatibility mode through that.
Hope this helps you. If the problem continues please mention for which file types you are trying.
Thanks and Regards

Examples for Enterprise Service

Hi All
Anyone can you give some examples of Enterprise serivices.
and
Difference Between ES and Functional Module.
Regards,
Raj

Hi,
you can create "normal" web service out of function modules.
Enterprise Services are first modelled in the ESR and then implemented in the NWDS or the ERP.
You can browse for Enterprise Services.. https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/explore-es
SAP provides an environment where you can test the enterprise services...
