PAPI Service Interfaces not exposed as Web Services

Hi,
In guide Javadoc_PAPI_SAPME_150 there are some public interfaces that are not present as Web Services in SAP NetWeaver Application Server -> Single Service Administration: Service Definitions.
The list of missing interfaces is:
ArchiveServiceInterface
BrowseServiceInterface
BrowseSfcServiceInterface
DateGlobalizationServiceInterface
DBSequenceServiceInterface
DomainServiceInterface
DynamicInvocationServiceInterface
HookExecutionServiceInterface
LocalizedServiceInterface
NumberGlobalizationServiceInterface
OverrideDefinitionServiceInterface
PortletConfigurationServiceInterface
PredefinedFieldGroupConfigurationServiceInterface
PrintingFormatServiceInterface
PrintingTransportServiceInterface
ResourceBundleGlobalizationServiceInterface
RevisionableDomainServiceInterface
RunAsServiceInterface
SchedulingStandardsConfigurationServiceInterface
SpcChartServiceInterface
TextGlobalizationServiceInterface
I don't understand if this is by design or if there are some error in the customer NetWeaver implementation.
Thank you for your help,
Filippo.

Hello Konstantin,
thank you for your response.
Just another question: you say "It's indicated that listed services are not published" but I don't understand where it's indicated.
For example in documentation Javadoc_PAPI_SAPME_150, package com.sap.me.common, ObjectResolverServiceInterface and DynamicInvocationServiceInterface are documented in the same way and I don't see any indication that says if the interface is published as WS or not.
Best regards,
Filippo.

Web Interfaces not display in Web interface builder

Hi All,
we transported web interfaces into the new system and we are unable to see them in web interface builder although I can see them in mime repository. The target system doesn't have appropriate web connection setting ( I can not run the web reports) yet, but I doubt this could be the problem......
Any idea how to make them visible in WIB.
Thanks!
Pavel

Hello Pavel,
the web interface builder calls the web interface very similarly to an external browser. So if you HTTP and ICM setitngs are not correct (yet), the web interface can not be displayed in the builder.

ABAP Web service - Virtual Interface Not Found

Hi,
I have created a ABAP web service based on RFC. I changed the authentication to "Basic username/password" from SOAMANAGER. Also tested the web service from WSNAVIGATOR (of different portal) using WSDL url. Web service successfully returned response.
Now, I have a AJAX client where I have hardcoded the request (from wsnavigator) and trying to call this web service in SAP BW web template (from HTML/JavaScript). But its not giving error as "Virtual Interface Not Found". Also, i get 500 error. But the end point of the web service if looked up from browser gives response. The SICF service is active and upon tests gives valid response.
Found couple of discussions regarding this:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/VirtualInterfacenotfounderror
But i'm not finding the setting to activate virtual interface in SE80. ALso, we have created many such web services and they used to work fine prior to upgrade to Ehp1 SP05 (BI) but the newly created web service is not working.
Any inputs?
Abhijeet

Hi can you please let me know how you resolved this issue?

Multiple Interfaces on a single web service URL

we have a scenario where we have a multiple interfaces that are related to SD that needs to be exposed to another system. When we generate the WSDL from XI - it seems we can do only for one interface at a time.
Is there a way - where in we can expose a single URL and treat these interfaces as web methods on that single URL? (similar to .Net or Java)
If yes - how do we do that?
Thanks.

That will not be possible. Instead you have to expose only one interface which takes generic data as input. In the mapping, depending on dat, you should map them to various other interfaces which would definetly make your scenario complex..
In XI each outbound interface is a separate web service (method).

Steps to expose a web service without using SR

Hello,
How can I expose a web service without using the service registry? Is there some documentation for this process?
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for the response. Although, I do not have an * in the Sender Agreement.
Here is the situation:
When I attempt to reach the URL for my Web Service but using NWA instead of the Service Call I get into NWA.
https://xxxxx.steelcasedev.com/nwa
Result: Success
When I use SOAPSonar to run this URL I get the CPA error:
https://xxxxx.steelcasedev.com//XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?senderParty=&senderService=WSProcurement_Async_Sender&receiverParty=&receiverService=Steelcase_Dev&interface=WSProcure_Out&interfaceNamespace=urn:steelcasedev.com:wsprocure:xsuppliers
Result: Error

The sender adapter is active in ID but in RTWB it is "Started but Inactive". I have found that this status could be related to the fact that I have not had a successful transaction for that channel yet.
My NW Admin says he found this error:
Marked transaction for rollback for message 0015605e-09d7-1ddf-94f7-d5031c019713(INBOUND). Reason: Channel has been configured as inactive and cannot accept messages
I am quite confused.

WLDL files exported from XI 2.0 not valid for Web Service Clients

Hi there,
Im struggling for almost a week with a <b>BAPI WSDL file</b> exported from the XI repository. My scenario is very simple; A BAPI in R/3 exposed as web service through XI using the SOAP adapter.
The intention was to generate a Web Service Client based on this WSDL file, unfortunately I get all kind of errors when trying to generate the client. (using tools like, SOAPScope, XML Spy and WebSphere Developer Studio none of this tools can validate the generated WSDL file obtained from XI)
Can someone <b>Please explain</b> me how/what exaclty do I have to do in order to expose my BAPI as Web Service in XI 2.0? Or Please tell me if this is just impossible in this version of XI.
Thanks a lot!
Rob.

Hi Rob,
It seems that when exporting to a WSDL file from the Repository, <service> and <binding> are missing from the structure.
A way to work this out is to either add them maually, or to create the WSDL from the Directory, using the Create End Point as Webservice in the Tools menu.
When you do that, consider a couple of things:
1. The message interface, by which you create the wsdl should be inbound. The message interface in the scenario should be outbound.
2. In the binding section, the produced url is of the intergration server, and you need to change it to that defined in the SOAP adapter configuration.
Hope this helps.

How to expose a web service to the outside world?

Hello,
i have created a Web service from a Session bean and successfully published it on one of my UDDI registries using the Admin tool.
At this point, what do I need to do further in order to expose this Web service not just in our LAN but to the outside world?
Roy

Offcourse it should be published at UDDI.
Four play key roles in Web services: Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI), Web Services Description Language (WSDL), Web Services Inspection Language (WSIL), SOAP, and Web Services Interoperability (WS-I).
The UDDI specification defines open, platform-independent standards that enable businesses to share information in a global business registry, discover services on the registry, and define how they interact over the Internet.
See this link too:

Are all RFCs and BAPIs automatically exposed as web services?

Hello,
Our product helps business users exchange data with SAP. We use standard RFCs and BAPIs to communicate with SAP. This is a .NET application although my question is not specific to .NET.
It seems SAP obsolete their .NET connector in near future. The emphasis is on web services. This is a great move. We can simply drop using the .NET connector and start using the web services. However, I have a few doubts:
1. RFCs and BAPIs are automatically exposed for remoting. When the customer installs our application, it just works out of the box. Customers do not have to make any configuration changes to SAP to expose RFCs and BAPIs.
In the new world, are all RFCs and BAPIs automatically exposed as web services or one has to go through each RFC/BAPI and expose it explicitly?
2. Is there a comprehensive WSDL schema available anywhere for all the RFCs/BAPIs?
3. Are there any other web services (besides RFCs/BAPIs) that SAP Netweaver exposes? Where can I get more information?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Pradeep

Darryl,
Thank you for your help or at least trying to help me. However, you left me with more questions than answers:-(.
1. "Old" does not mean "bad." Each RFC/BAPI serves a specific function. If some RFC is being obsoleted, there must be a replacement documented somewhere. Is there one?
2. I can look into SE80 (and other transactions) to see what is exposed. However, what I need to understand is what is SAP's stance on exposing standard web services.
Can others please share your thoughts?
Regards,
Pradeep

I wanted a solution to the problem I was having on Win 7 Pro Service Pack 1 in that links on an open Adobe Acrobat file will not open in my Firefox Browser 33.0.2. The Error I receive is "Acrobat could not run the web browser. Unknown Error. (123)"

Firefox will not load talktalk web mail. ihave to keep reverting to 3.16 to get the service i am familiar with

i am and have used firefox for some considerable time and am abig fan!when fire fox 4 was introduced i tried it out and was impressed with the uprated performance.BUT at age 70 was introduced to computers and internetby.my bro-in-law same age was computer literate and set up my system with tiscali.it was stable and if i got into trouble because we both ran XP we could communicate despite living 70 miles apart.i for my part ran tiscali web mail service because it was clear and enabled me to keep my various interests in folders and was simple. i loaded firefox 4 but it would not load the web mail. i reverted to 3.16 and my webmail service loaded and i was able to carry on despite you system constantly imploring me to upgrade to f-f 4.unfortinately my bro-in-law died a year ago and I entered into a sevice with PC advisor published by "AGORA business publications" it was whilst i was trying to implement some of their tweeks to make XP run in concert with windows 7 from a dvd called "windows advisor" when up popped firefox 5 so i thought i would give it another go BUT same result in box quote "you have undefined new mails in your in box " how do i get them out? sorry but at 78 its past my bed-time!

Apparently TalkTalk mail will work with Firefox 4 and Firefox 5 ''if'' you set the browser to ''lie'' to TalkTalk mail by saying that you are still using version 3.6.
You can find the instructions for that in a post on the TalkTalk forums: [http://www.talktalk.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=185113#post2452787 Firefox 4 & TalkTalk webmail - Forums].
Note: when you open about:config the first time, it will display a warning message that you should be careful with the changes you make. That's definitely good to bear in mind.
Does it work?

Why Web services are used to send data not HTTP in Web dynpro for Java?

Is Web Dynpro for Java supports Web service , RFC as communication to other systems why http cannot be used in Wweb dynpro for java.........
Thanks and Regards,
CSP

Hi Pradeep,
Yes, Web Dynpro java supports web service, you can expose your web service as RFC Model to
communicate with others system. As per as HTTP is concern we don't have any
supportive method in web Dynpro. Insted of HTTP we use context in web dynpro to communicate.
Thanks

Wlst command listWebServices() does not show all web services in the domain

Hi, I am trying to use wlst command listWebServices() to display all web services of a domain. It seems that it only displays the web services of enterprice applications (ear apps), but it does not show the web services of web applications (war apps). If I pass ear appliication name and one of its web module to listWebServices, it will show the web services that belong to the web module of this application. However if I pass war application name and its web module name to listWebServices, it will return "Unable to find the SOA Composite or Service. Oracle UCM Native Web Services", although I can see from wls admin console or em that this web application does have a couple of web services.
I also tried to call listWebServicePolicies, again it returned "Unable to find any Web Services with the specified Application".
My purpose of doing above is to use wlst to detach/attach web service policies for some web services. Since I cannot find the web services, I off course cannot detach/attach policies.
Does anyone have any clue how to find web services using wlst command that belong to a war application, and then detach/attach policies ? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jian Huang
From Oracle fusion HCM

As of UCM version 11.1.1.6, Oracle UCM Web Services are managed from Enterprise Manager in Fusion Middleware Control, not Weblogic Admin Console!
A document at Oracle support explains this in more detail: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=1456506.1 :
Setting up GenericSoapService in WLS to use WS-Security:
Go to FMW Enterprise Manager. http://wlshost:7001/em
In the tree, navigate to Weblogic Domain -> <Domain Name> -> and click on UCM_server1. (If the managed server for WCC is named something other than UCM_server1, click on that name.)
From the UCM_server1 drop down menu, select "Web Services".
On the "Oracle Infrastructure Web Services" tab, click the GenericSoapPort link.
Once there you can set the policies you want and restart the server!

Hi.i currently use photoshop lightroom 4 and have uploaded books to blurb with no problems but today every time i try to log in to blurb through lightroom to upload the book a msge appears saying "Could not cotact Blurb web service.please check internet c

Hi I currently use lightroom 4 and have never had an issue uploading photo books to blurb.but now when i try a message appears saying "could not contact blurb web service.please check internet connection" my internet connection is fine.please can somebody help me as i need to get the album done as it is a wedding album and the clients are waiting on it.many thanks,Sean.

Hi,
I got this problem sorted and it actually very easy. For some reason the settings on the windows page i use on my laptop conflicted with the blurb/lightroom upload. All you need to do is set up a new windows user page and set it up as admin. You will need to transfer all the photos from the lightroom on your current user page to the new one which can be annoying but at least you will hopefully get up and running again. I hope this helps,
Sean.

Are you sure there is not another web analysis web application process running, have you checked the processes running on the machine, you may have to kill or stop one of them to release the lock.

How to pass current user credential for PAPI service execution

Hi All,
As per my requirement I am using the SAP ME PAPI WS to start the SFC. I have used the SAPME PAPI Interface action block in ME within BLS and searched the service and operation also. Required input parameter mapping is also done and I have successfully executed the BLS and SFC is started in ME. In SAPME PAPI Interface action block I have used Credential alias which is standard configuration in MEINT for user MESYS.
Now what I have seen is that, in ME the SFC is started by user MESYS. But I want to pass the user who is currently executing. Is there any way to pass the current user credential or session for executing the PAPI service. My final target is to use the BLS in IRPT through Xacute query.
Thanks in Advance
Chandan

Hi Sergiy,
It is only required for Sfc Start operation. It is a generic requirement for all PAPI WS. User ref is not available for all services. I have taken sfc Start operation as an example. But for complete SFC operation there is no user ref. in Request structure. Then what would be our generic way to execute it through current user credential.
Thanks
Chandan
