SAP Netweaver Gateway 2.0 vs. Web Services

Hello,
I want to ask about SAP Netweaver Gateway 2.0. I understand its usage but why do we need it when we can create (globally compatible) web services and use SOa Manager? I want to implement Gateway add-on but I need to know differences between web services and Gateway before making last decision.
Thank you.

Hi,
I have just answered your question in the the Gateway Forum...

SAP Business Workflow and SAP Netweaver Gateway - Missing extensible elements

Hello,
For a mobile project we use SAP Netweaver Gateway in order to retrieve information from workflows stored into SAP Business Workflow.
We are able to retrieve standard informations for a workflow but custom fields added into "Extensible Elements" section are lost when exit SAP NG.
We have checked the configuration of SAP NG (by 4 differents person) and it seems to be OK.
Do you have an idea why the custom fields are lost during SAP NG processing ?
Thanks in advance

Difference between SAP NetWeaver Gateway 2.0 and SAP NetWeaver Gateway productivity accelerator for Microsoft

Hi Experts ,
Can anyone tell me the difference between SAP NetWeaver Gateway 2.0 and SAP NetWeaver Gateway productivity accelerator for Microsoft ?
Best Regards,
SK

SAP Netweaver Gateway 2.0 is a product for Exposing ERP data as OData for external consumption which is independent of any Microsoft product. Using this you can model OData services and Expose them for light weight consumption. You can use this in use cases where you just want to consume the OData in some client or so, and you do not want any kind of accelerators to help you in development or in your integration.
GWPAM is an interoperability framework from SAP that leverages SAP NetWeaver Gateway and Microsoft technologies enabling customers and partners to easily and quickly compose solutions that consume and extend SAP throughout Microsoft technologies for on premise and on demand deployment. With GWPAM you get components like
GWPAM Visual Studio Add-On,GWPAM Template,GWPAM Project,GWPAM Outlook Add-In which are very much Microsoft specific.

Flash Builder 4.6 and SAP Netweaver Gateway plugin works just fine

Hi, i have just installed the new Flash Builder 4.6 and add the SAP NetWeaver Gateway plugin on it.
I you follow the documentation available (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashbuilder_sap/flashbuilder_sap_gettingstarted.p df) and then select the "DEMO_BANK" service instead of the "DEMO_FLIGHT" as writtent in the documentation and then bound the "selectZ_demo_bankCollection" to your datagrid, the demo works just fine.
My platform specification is:
- Windows 7 Integral running on VMware Fusion installed on my MacBook Air (just installed yesterday and full updated from Windows Update)
- Flash Builder 4.6 (fresh download from this morning)
- Internet Explorer 9 (last update at this time)
- Flash Player 11.1.102.55 (last update at this time)
- flashbuilder_sap_p1_plugin_110111 (the SAP Netweaver Gateway Plugin) available at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder_sap/
FXL

note sure if I'm much help other than to CONFIRM it is working for me by using the sdk WITHOUT the compiler. Check out adobe's little note: "Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler."
I am using FB 4.7 with AIR 3.6 and seems to compile correctly for iOS.
Maybe try reinstalling flash builder?
I honestly don't know if the JRE has anything to do with it... I'm using 1.7 ....to see what JRE you're using, open the Java Control Panel (I right click my java orange icon and hit properties), select the Java tab, then hit "View..."

SAP Netweaver gateway in solution manager

Hi ,
We have a solution manager 7.1(netweaver 7.02) and ECC IDES EHP 6 system for which we need to configure Netweaver gateway. We have installed netweaver gateway 2.0 components in solution manager system. Now is it possible to configure gateway on solution manager system instead of building a separate netweaver system for configuring gateway.
Wondering if we can make solman as gateway system for accessing ECC IDES. Please give your suggestion and steps to perform.

Hi Johny,
In my view the very first thing to observe is if there is any
licence implication by doing so as I believe it was designed to run on top of
HyperV. Technically it is possible to do it. But the licence check should come
first. I don’t know the answer for the licence implication.

Hi Thomas,
We currently have three pre-packaged demo version available with slightly different favours. We are evaluating which ones we want to maintain currently and currently all 3 are at SP4 levels. So a questions back to you would be, if the Hyper-V image was dropped, would the Windows 64 bit version still work for you?
You can find that here.

Data connection from SAP-R3 System to Xcelsius using Web Services

Hello Everybody,
Anyone tryed connecting data from SAP-R3 System to Xcelsius using Webservices? (created in ABAP function module)
SDN downloaded document says to Generate Webservice URL through ABAP (by creating function module) and import it in xcelsius
Data -> Add Web service connections
by giving the URL to import. After giving the web server login credentials, the error says 'Unable to load URL'
Any idea would be great help

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

SAP NetWeaver Gateway and JSON Error Handling

Hello All,
I am developing a small test application using Netweaver Gateway to understand the error handling. I am using Postman to test the Gateway service. I have developed small RFC FM to read return list of deliveries for a shipment. The RFC reads in a shipment number and returns the list of deliveries. The RFC also has Return parameter of type BAPIRET2 that stores the error message if shipment is not found. We want to use only JSON format for the application. So, I have set the 'Accept' parameter at request header to 'content/json'. I am also aware of the exception /IWBEP/CX_MGW_BUSI_EXCEPTION that allows to throw an error message from backend suite. I have that by having a Return parameter of type BAPIRET2, the generated method automatically handles the error message and sets the correct HTTP status.
Now the Problem:
As mentioned earlier, we want to use JSON format. When I set the header parameter or specify $format=json in the URI the HTTP status code is always set to 500 when there is an error. The error message about invalid shipment also is not returned.
When I remove the JSON format parameters, the XML format is returned and HTTP status is set to 400 with appropriate error message.
How can we get the Gateway to set the HTTP status code to 400 along with error message in the event of an error in RFC. I have tried with the exception /IWBEP/CX_MGW_BUSI_EXCEPTION and BAPIRET2 return parameter but still does not work. Is this a known issue in Gateway/JSON?
Please see attached screenshots.
Thanks,
Rutul Thakkar

Anyone have encountered this issue? Any suggestions?

Issue while installing sap netweaver gateway

Hi Experts,
I am trying to install Netweaver Gateway on SAP netweaver 7.3.
Once the *.SAR files are placed in EPS inbox folder of the server, we are unable to find these add-on packages in transaction: SAINT.
Tried to install this on Client 000 and 001
Kindly provide your inputs on this.

Hi Komal,
Please try to extract .SAR file contents using SAPCAR.exe utility?
You can find the tool at D:\usr\sap\<SID>\DVEBMGS00\exe location, use -xvf option to extract content to EPS\in folder. Then load the extracted packages from Application server using SAINT again.

[Integrated SOA Gateway] Publish Java based web service

Welcome!
Lately I have been trying to publish Java based web service through Integrated SOA Gateway. The documentation states that:
+"Custom interface definitions can be created for various interface types including custom interface definitions for XML Gateway Map, Business Event, PL/SQL, Concurrent Program, Business Service Object, Java (except for Java APIs for Forms subtype) and Composite Service for BPEL type."+ (Integrated SOA Gateway Developer's Guide Release 12.1, "Creating and Using Custom Integration Interfaces")
After familiarizing myself with $FND_TOP/bin/irep_parser.pl and $FND_TOP/bin/FNDLOAD tools, I have started coding my POJOs. Initially I have come up with three classes - request/response objects and service implementation. Service implementation has been annotated with "@rep:X" descriptors according to "Java Annotations" section of the documentation. While invoking $FND_TOP/bin/irep_parser.pl I have received errors about class resolution. My solution was to transform request and response types to static inner classes. This way I ended up with one *.java source file (see below).
* Sample ISG Service.
* @rep:scope public
* @rep:product AP
* @rep:displayname My Custom ISG Service.
public class MyService {
public static class Request {
private String id;
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
public String getId() {
return id;
public static class Response {
private String data;
public void setData(String data) {
this.data = data;
public String getData() {
return data;
* Sample operation.
* @param request Request Object.
* @return Return Object.
* @rep:displayname Test operation.
* @rep:category BUSINESS_ENTITY SAMPLE_SERVICE
public MyService.Response testOperation(MyService.Request request) {
MyService.Response response = new MyService.Response();
response.setData("Some Data");
return response;
ILDT file has been successfully created and uploaded. However, I could not see the "Generate WSDL" button on Integrated Repository website. Is there any particular interface or superclass that my service implementation should extend? I have reviewed "PurchaseOrderSDO" example posted in the developer's guide (page 407), but I couldn't come up with a working solution. Could you provide me with more detailed tutorial/example? Which documentation sections should I read again?
After searching through forum, I have spotted $FND_TOP/bin/soagenerate.sh script, and thought that lack of "Generate WSDL" button was an EBS defect. After running the script, I have received an error:
Error in Service Generation.
ServiceGenerationError: Interface Type (JAVA) Interface SubType (null) is not supported.
oracle.apps.fnd.soa.util.SOAException: ServiceGenerationError: Interface Type (JAVA) Interface SubType (null) is not supported.

     at oracle.apps.fnd.soa.provider.wsdl.ServiceGenerator.main(ServiceGenerator.java:419)
I would be grateful for any suggestions. Has anyone published Java based web service through ISG?
Best regards,
Lukasz

I tried the following as per Oracle support and able to generate the wsdl though, but not invoke the webservices.
1. Applied the patch 8607523
2. Took the translator.jar file from the patch 8857799 and replaced the current translator.jar file
3. Deploy the adapters.
