Testing a ABAP Web Service in ECC 6.0

Hi all,
I am trying create web services from ABAP using a RFC function module in ECC 6.0. Once the service got created and did configurations in SOAMANAGER also. When trying to test the service using the web service navigator it requests for WSDL URL and when provided the URL, i am getting the below error
Cannot download WSDL from http://tuasd06db.tuasw2k.tuaspower.com.sg:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/bndg_DE7C08A93E4CF7F1AF60001A64258BFC/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=220: It is not allowed to access this service. If you believe you should be able to, please contact your system administrator.
As i am new to Web services, is it due to any of the configurations missing or any authorization problem.
P.S: All the relevant services are active in SICF. I have added a new UDDI service registry also. Have entererd the J2EE server details in the System global settings under Technical configuration.
Cheers,
Madhu

Hi,
You need to configure the Web Services Navigator WHITE LIST :
[SAP help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b7/d7baaf1481a349ab723e3acd7334b3/frameset.htm]
5. To configure Web Service Navigator White List, in the Allowed Hosts field, enter hostnames or parts of hostnames of remote systems, to which you are allowed to connect via Web Services Navigator. To separate entries, use semicolons (, you can use an asterisk (), or a question mark (?), as wildcards. For example, if you want to enable connection to all remote systems, in the Allowed Hosts field, enter an asterisk ().
I still have one issue standing with web services. Will appreciate if you can help me with that.

Authorizations for testing of ABAP Web Services

Can somebody tell me which authorizations/roles I need to assign to a user with SAP WAS 6.40 ABAP so that he will be able to test a simple ABAP Web Service with the Java Service home page of this service?
I tried this with the roles SAP_BC_DWB_ABAPDEVELOPER and SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_ADMIN but this seams not to be enough and I could not find a hint on how I could find out what is going wrong.
The user gets an error message on the top of the service home page when he submitted the service request:
"An error has occurred. Maybe the request is not accepted by the server:
Authority check failed"
The service is configured with standard authentication. On the service test page the user gets a login screen which he passes successfully. The error occurs afterwards when the services test is executed.
Many thanks!
Best regards, Birgit

Hi,
1. log on to SAP system with user XXX .
2. Do your steps to call webservice from JAVA Service home page - use the same user id for log on.
3. As soon as you see the error message as you mentioned
Run transaction SU53 in the target SAP system . This should tell you the authority object where the failure had happend.
Hope this helps.

Problem while testing a ABAP Web Service

Hello,
I'm facing a problem while testing a webservice for the BAPI BUPA_CENTRAL_GET_DETAIL. I have opened the Web Service Home page, and I get no error. I fill in the input values and then when I send the request, I get back an error which says "Authority check failed"
Urgent help needed..
Thanx,
Anupama

you need s_service and s_object authorization objects in your role.
its explained in this document
section 3.1 on page 7

How to consume the Abap web service in Java web-dynpro

Hi Everyone,
I want to consume ABAP web service in java web dynpro.
so when i tried to create model in java web-dynpro, it gave me an error message saying "Invalid WSDL or WSDL not found".
i think this error message is because, to access the WSDL of abap web-service, we need username and password, but the dialog box in java web-dynpro is not programmed to take username and password from us and send it to the server to get the WSDL.
i came to this conclusion because i was able to successfully test my abap web-service in java portal. the java portal asked me the username and password to open the WSDL.
So, please help me to consume the abap web service in java web-dynpro.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Vikas

Hi Vikas ,
while creating a model in web-dynpro try to use the "import web service model" option and if you are using local server choose the local server option so that you can get the available web services which are in server, select one among them and continue you process.I think this is the some what easy way .
If you want use the URL for wsdl better to once test the available service in server and copy that WSDL URL and paste over WSDL textbox.
I think this is pretty help ful to you

Requirements for the development of ABAP web services...

Recently at TechEd in Vienna I saw a demo of the development of an ABAP service. It all looked fairly easy, so when I came back I decided to try it out for myself. However, this mission seems to be compromised by the development environment not playing along. I've tried to encapsulate a small RFC function module inside af service on an IDES ECC 6.0 system and that went fairly well until I wanted to test the service.
At some point it is understood that one should setup a reference to a J2EE system in the WSADMIN transaction and that caused me some troubles as it looks like the IDES system that I tried it on doesn't have a java stack. How could I check whether that is true? I then tried to test the service directly under maintain service within WSADMIN and it sends me a popup screen and asks me to logon. After logging on the browser claims an internal error has happened.
What do I do now? Where do I start to check if everything is setup the way it should be? Is there a note or a how to guide somewhere?
Best regards,
Anders

Hello,
For creating and hosting ABAP web Services, you do not need JAVA stack. However, for testing Web Services using Web Service Navigator (from SOAMANAGER), you need J2EE stack.
If you are invoking Web Service from SOAPUI, .NET or some other third party tool, you need to create End Point for the service using SOAMANAGER and provide the Porttype WSDL to the third party system.

SSO and ABAP Web Services

I am opening this thread on behalf of my colleague Bala regarding SSO and ABAP Web Services.
We have gone through single sign on options and found several options are available within 5.0.
We would like to know the options available for SAP ABAP web services access from a Non-SAP system with user authorization but without Portal/ITS installation.
Also I would like to avoid any hard coding of user id in Non-SAP system .
Could you provide any information.
Thanks,
Bala

We have gone through single sign on options and found several options are available within 5.0.
Tell me what are the several options and what is your Non-SAP system?
without Portal/ITS installation.
ITS is now an integral part of ECC 5.0 system. So would not need a seperate installation, unlike earlier versions.

Consuming ABAP Web Service in Non SAP system

Hi
I have created an ABAP web service form the RFC and configured it in the SOAMANAGER. I have tested it in Web Service Navigator using the URL and it is working fine.
Now I am trying to access it from the Non SAP system using Java Code. I am able to access the WSDL using the URL from the step 1 but not able to receive any output when providing inputs.
So I am not sure if I am missing any configuration on the Provider System (SAP) or on the Consumer system (Non SAP) to access the web service. As far I have not configured anything on the consumer system. Please let me know how to consume the web service in the Non SAP system.
Thank you,
Rohit

not necessarily an answer to your question, but i find that when creating SAP web services, before we create the code for consuming them, I always test them with the SOAPUI package. with this test suite you can import the WSDL, and run individual tests, seeing the input, output, exceptions, etc. This is a good way to check the connection, the flow and the service logic, before writing any code. This will also let you know whether it is a WS issue, or an issue with your code.
just a thought, from someone who has been there...
http://www.soapui.org is where you can find the SOAPUI. It helped me out a lot.

Publish Abap Web Service in ICF virtual host

Hello
We have configured our abap aplication server with two virtual host in SICF
one the default_host that listen in http 8080 port and other virtual host that
listen in http 8090 port.
We need define some ABAP web services that listen in default_host:8080 and other virtual host in virtualhost2:8090.
We define de web service with SE80 wizard and then create the configuration end point
with SOAMANAGER.
Our problem is that soamanager ever create the entrie of endpoint in sicf transaction, under default_host:8080 service tree not under virtualhost2 service tree. and so we can not call
the web service like http://virtualhost2:8090/sap/bc.... because don't exist, only exist
http://defaul_host:8080/sap/bc....
we try to copy the entry of the tree under virtualhost2 in the proper place of the tree,
but when call the webservice with soaui the system report the error:
No Web service configuration for this access path: ""
i can see that there are entries in the table SRT_CFG_SRV_ASGN that are related with this
problem, because assign the url of the endpoint of the ws to virtual host, but i don't
know how the system generate this entries.
someone know how call ABAP web service with icf virtual host?
thanks
regards
diego

Hi Trevor
For test purpose i can do it works.
The key point is create the proper entry in the table SRT_CFG_SRV_ASGN that refer to the correct VIRTUAL_HOST.
When you genreate the endpoint of the service with soamanager, the system generate an entrty in this table with the fiel VIRTUAL_HOST = 0, you can copy this entry and change only two fields.
VIRTUAL_HOST = <the number of your virtual host>
HASH --> you can calculate this field with the FM CALCULATE_HASH_FOR_CHAR, in the parameter DATA contatenate the content of the fiels VIRTUAL_HOST and URL (be careful with the upercase), this function module return you the hash.
(First you have to replicate the icf tree that soamanager create under your virtual host tree)
With this configuration i can call to my WS over the virtaual host, using soaui.
I hope this can be useful for you.
Regards
diego

Problem consuming Web Service from ECC 6.0 using dual certificates

Hi, I am trying to consume a secure web service on ECC 6.0 - so far without much luck.
When I try to connect to the ws server, it seems there are three certificates in action: a CICS certificate for establishing the SSL connection, a 'root' certificate from the PKI certificate issuer, and a private certificate issued by the above issuer (please forgive me if a have the syntax wrong - certificates are not my primary line of work). So, using Trust Manager (STRUST), I have created a PSE named 'OES' and imported all three certificates into it.
In SOAMANAGER I have set up the end-point using the WSDL-file and set the following parameters:
- Authentication Method = X.509 Client Certificate
- Trustworthiness Method = Holder of Key
- Issuer = <issuer from the root certificate>
- Name of Attester = <blank>
- Validity of SAML Assertion = 180
- Caching of SAML Assertions = False
- Attester System Destination = <blank>
- Name of Attester = <blank>
- User = SRxxxWS
- Password = <blank>
- Client PSE = OES
When I try to consume the web service, I can see in the log files that the CICS certificat is used for establishing the SSL connection but all I receive back is an HTTP 403 "Client Authentication Error". If I remove the CICS certificate from the PSE, the connection is not made.
How do I make the client certificate available for the connection? Have I approached the problem from the wrong side? Has anybody experienced something similar? Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bo

How to debug ABAP Web services from Microsoft Visual Studio

When developing .NET based Web services clients using Visual Studio that call Web services in SAP NetWeaver .NET developers would like to be able to debug inside SAP. In my blog <a href="/people/andre.fischer/blog/2007/02/07/how-to-debug-abap-web-services-from-microsoft-visual-studio to debug ABAP Web services from Microsoft Visual Studio</a> I would like to point .NET developers to the fact that SAP NetWeaver offers the option of external debugging to perform this task. Though the steps that have to be performed are described in the SAP Online Help I am sure that this option is not well known amongst the .NET developer community.

Hello WilliamIV,
>>How can I "configure" Visual Studio debugger to allow validation to work?
Since I do not have a VS2012 environment, according to your provided link, I created a test demo with VS2013, however, both ways catch the validation error:
If possible, you could have a try with VS2013 to see if it works or run the example on other machine with VS2012 to see if this is caused by the VS environment, in my side, I do not change any configuration, all are default.
If I misunderstood this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Transport of ABAP web service

Hi,
We can see that the end point /binding of an ABAP web service is not transported.
Would you have a solution. We cant create a new binding everytime, because the client would not know how to lookup for the web service without a pattern. The second thing is transport is not a one time activity, it happens with every modification.
and we cant be creating a binding every other time.
Third what about production. Production should not be used for making changes.
Do let me know the answers to these questions.
Thanks,
Harish

Hello All,
We are facing a problem with the webservice transport. The application consuming the service is working fine in CE 7.2 DEV. But after transport to CE 7.2 Quality, there is one service which is resulting in this error.
Invalid Response content type. Server returned code (500) with message <Internal Server Error> and content type <text/html; charset=utf-8>. Http proxy info: none
[EXCEPTION]
com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.client.bindings.exceptions.TransportBindingException: Invalid Response content type. Server returned code (500) with message <Internal Server Error> and content type <text/html; charset=utf-8>. Http proxy info: none
For the rest of the services the content type remains as test/xml, only for this service it gets modified to text/html. This is the only difference we could identify. Any help on this is much appreciated.

Calling abap web service from webdynpro

hi,
i have a problem in that i am trying to call an ABAP web service published from r/3 in webdynpro. when i browse to the url generated by the r/3 application server it asks for my r/3 user name and password (not to be confused with http proxy user name and password). now when i enter it, i can see the generated wsdl without a problem. pressing escape gives me the standard 401 error.
please note this is the r/3 username and password which i am required to enter. when i try to get to the webservice in webdynpro. here is my code:
public void wdDoInit()
    //@@begin wdDoInit()
    try
          Request_YYMJ_WS_TEST1_DEF1_yymjServiceWebTest1 reekvesta = new Request_YYMJ_WS_TEST1_DEF1_yymjServiceWebTest1();
          reekvesta._setPassword("userid");
          reekvesta._setUser("password");
          wdContext.nodeRequest_YYMJ_WS_TEST1_DEF1_yymjServiceWebTest1().bind(reekvesta);
          wdContext.currentRequest_YYMJ_WS_TEST1_DEF1_yymjServiceWebTest1Element().setWfKunnr("0000000011");
          wdContext.currentRequest_YYMJ_WS_TEST1_DEF1_yymjServiceWebTest1Element().modelObject().execute();
          wdContext.nodeResponse().invalidate();
    catch(Exception e)
          IWDMessageManager msgMrg = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager();
          String msg = e.getLocalizedMessage();
          if ((msg==null) || (msg.length()==0))
               msg = e.getMessage();
          msgMrg.reportException(msg,true);
    //@@end
i have also tried it this way:
public void wdDoInit()
    //@@begin wdDoInit()
    try
          Request_YYMJ_WS_TEST1_DEF1_yymjServiceWebTest1 reekvesta = new Request_YYMJ_WS_TEST1_DEF1_yymjServiceWebTest1();
wdContext.nodeRequest_YYMJ_WS_TEST1_DEF1_yymjServiceWebTest1().bind(reekvesta);     wdContext.currentRequest_YYMJ_WS_TEST1_DEF1_yymjServiceWebTest1Element().modelObject()._setUser("userid");     wdContext.currentRequest_YYMJ_WS_TEST1_DEF1_yymjServiceWebTest1Element().modelObject()._setPassword("password");
wdContext.currentRequest_YYMJ_WS_TEST1_DEF1_yymjServiceWebTest1Element().setWfKunnr("0000000011");
wdContext.currentRequest_YYMJ_WS_TEST1_DEF1_yymjServiceWebTest1Element().modelObject().execute();
          wdContext.nodeResponse().invalidate();
    catch(Exception e)
          IWDMessageManager msgMrg = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager();
          String msg = e.getLocalizedMessage();
          if ((msg==null) || (msg.length()==0))
               msg = e.getMessage();
          msgMrg.reportException(msg,true);
    //@@end
in both instances i get the error:
Service call exception; nested exception is: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (407) Proxy authorization required
please note
1. i am trying to test this on my local sap j2ee server, on my workstation. i am not deploying this as of yet to the portal.
2. i do have access to r/3.
3. the r/3 application server is in our corporate intranet, and therefore excluded from being looked up by our proxy.
4. our proxy DOES require a username and password. i added my user name and password to the webservice container section of the visual administrator, and excluded the r/3 server from the proxy list.
what am i missing?

Zafar,
Check the endpoint in generated WSDL. Probably there is a host name that is not in "exclude list" for proxy settings (like IP vs host name, or FQDN vs short host name).

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?

Transporting abap web services

guys,
i am developing an abap web service from a bapi in my dev. environment. It works as expected. Now i want to export this service to our QA box but there seems to be a problem. The URL of this service in my dev box contains the sap-client=100 but the client number in my QA system that i want to test the service is 800. so, thats an issue. how can i prevent this from happening or resolve it ?? Also, is there anything else i need to carry out in this qa client after i import the service. Please advise.

Hi,
Since Netweaver Abap 7.0 SP14, you can only transport the design time configuration of web services.
You have to set up the run time configuration of web services with transaction SOAMANAGER in each system.
The reason is simple, the security, the port or the client may be different in each system.

Olivier
