Using ABAP Web Service tor convert IDoc to XML and transfer to SOAP Server

Hi all,
I have a problem to use ABAP Web Service to convert IDoc's to XML and then send them to a SOAP Server.
Currently we have the following landscape:
SAP->XI->Archive
The sap-system (ECC6.0) sends an IDoc to the Exchange Infrastructe. The XI maps the IDoc and converts it to the required XML format, used by the archive. Afterwards, the XML documents are sended to the SOAP Server.
So I'm trying to replace the Exchange Infrastructure with ABAP Web Service.
I've read a lot of posts and documents reagarding ABAP Web Serivce, converting IDoc's to XML, RFC and so on, but I'm not able to do the replacement.
I don't know how to start and which steps are required.
The required roles and authorizations at the sap-system and the service for soamanager and the Web Service Viewer are available.
First I thought to create the RFC and partner profiles and then the report to convert IDoc to XML as a BAPI. With this BAPI I supposed to create and define a Web Service. The problem is, I don't know how to trigger the report if the Idoc should be send to the archive.
Hopefully, someone has an idea or a how-to for me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Christoph

Hi BigTicket.
A suggestion to trigger the BAPI / WebService at the IDoc receiving is to use a user exit or enhanced inside the idoc function module. When the idoc arrived to the idoc port the system start the related function module and then your user exit/enhanced in which you invoke your BAPI.
I hope this help.
Ciao.

Using Exchange Web Service (EWS) Streaming Notifications for a shared mailbox in Exchange Server, works or not?

Hi,
I am planning to develop an application to use EWS managed API streaming notification for listening the new email event of a shared mailbox. Will it will work or not? I knew it works for a personal mailbox, where the authentication of EWS can be performed
with the associated Active directory account. For the shared mailbox in Exchange Server, is there such an Active Directory account associated?
Thanks,
Richard

>> Are you saying that if an Active Directory account has the access to a shared mailbox, and then this account can be used for creating the Streaming subscription for that mailbox
Yes that's correct (try it yourself with the EWSEditor)
>> In other words, the way how Exchange Server works is that the new messages like new emails are automatically sending to all of the AD accounts which have the access to a mailbox.
Not sure what you mean by this ? A Shared a Mailbox is just like any other Exchange Mailbox if you have rights to the Folder then you can create a subscription against it. There is no automation involved.

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.

diego

Problem with ABAP Web service

Hello Experts,
Some unusual thing is happening.
Till this time my scenario was HTTP to RFC. So i have imported RFC in XI and its structure was perfact.
Tables having cardinality as 1...1, and fields were having cardinalities as 0....1.
Now we have planned to switch to the proxies and ABAP Web services. I have created the ABAP Web service with the same function module and imported it into the External definations.
When i am trying to use it into the mapping, Table cardinalities are 1....1 and fields are also having cardinalities as 1...1.
Now because of that i hv to map all the fields with some constants, but m not comfortable with it as there are nearly 1000 fields.
Do anyone of you have any idea what might be the problem? or how can i solve it.
Hope the question is clear.
Please help in this problem.
Thanks,
Hetal

Hello Hetal,
This is happening because when you genarte the Webservice out of a Function Module, all the fields in your are mendatory in the generated WSDL.
This can be avoided. The WSDL that you have generated for your webservice, can be manually edited in Stylus studio etc to change the cardinality and make it optional. We also did the same in one of our scenario and it is working fine.
As you are mapping these fields with constants, so it doen't make a difference if those are optional too.
Just edit the WSDL/xsd and reimport it.
Thanks

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

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.

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.

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.

Web Service Model for ABAP Web Service

Hi,
I have developed ABAP web service and called it using web service model in WD. The WS is working from WSNavigator. While calling it from WD, im getting the following exception:
Service call exception; nested exception is:
com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (502) Proxy Error ( No data record is available ).
Is some setting required in R/3 where WS is created or on WAS where the WDAppl is deployed?
Regards,
Smruti

Hi Smruti,
Please try the following:
Go to Web Service model
Logical Port
Uncheck "Use HTTP Proxy" settings..
Also make sure the WAS has entry of R/3 in hosts files..

ABAP Web Service client proxy - generation problems

Hi!
I tried to create an ABAP web service client proxy for many different web services -
for instance some of that listed at <a href="http://www.xmethods.net/">http://www.xmethods.net/</a> .
Almost on 99% of the WSDLs the client proxy generation failed.
For istance "<extension> not supported", or "<message...> must have at least one part",... .
Could anybody tell me what restrictions are to web services you can create a
ABAP client proxy for ?
In the SAP Web AS Java Stack there is no problem at all to generate a
client proxy for almost all of the xmethod-WebServices !
Is the ABAP Web Service proxy generation for production use ?

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.

ABAP Web Service with tables

Hello,
 
 
We need to build a web service with a predefined message in our ERP (ABAP), without PI or WebAS JAVA.
 
 
We thought it should be a simple task, because we had no problem with many other applications and systems when building the same service, but were not able to build it with SAP ABAP, probably as a consequence of our lack of knowledge on ABAP SOAP runtime.
 
 
We have an external asynchronous process that delivers information to many other systems using web services (information diffusion). Concecuently, the web service call's structure is determined by the caller, so we have to fulfill this structure if we want to receive the info.
 
 
The owner of the process defined a very simple service call, in which one kind of "record" can be repeated 1 to n times:
 
 
 
 
 
 
<reglasSuscripcion>
 
 <!Zero or more repetitions:>
 
 <nombre>?</nombre>
 
 <valor>?</valor>
 
 <nombre>?</nombre>
 
 <valor>?</valor>
 
 <nombre>?</nombre>
 
 <valor>?</valor>
 
 
 <nombre>?</nombre>
 
 <valor>?</valor>
 
</reglasSuscripcion>
 
 
 
In order to receive this info, we have to implement an abap web service handler to accept this kind of call, the same way other applications/systems have already done.
 
 
We tried to build a RFC function call and create a web service with the wizard and it resulted in a web service with the following WSDL:
 
 
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:sap-com:document:sap:soap:functions:mc-style">
 
 
 
 
 <reglasSuscripcion>
 
 <!Zero or more repetitions:>
 
 <item>
 
 <nombre>?</nombre>
 
 <valor>?</valor>
 
 </item>
 
 
 
 
<item>
 
 <nombre>?</nombre>
 
 <valor>?</valor>
 
 </item>
 
 </reglasSuscripcion>
 
 
 
 
We found two main problems:
 
 
1.- When "wrapping" the RFC as a WS with the wizard, for a table datatype it automatically includes the <item></item> tag, so we break the predefined calling rules.
 
 
2.- The namespace is fixed by the wizard, and we would like to use a common namespace for all the "susbscribers", logically, the namespace fixed by the information diffusion service.
 
 
We also tried to find info on the outside-in approach for building a web service from the WSDL, but all the info we found required the ESR and we have no PI, just the ERP.
 
 
Any ideas on how to proceed?
 
 
Thanks in advance,

#2. I've recently had to "zap" some namespaces in an ECC5 system because the calling (TIBCO) system didn't appreciate the default SAP "urn" default - something to do with multiple colons in the address. There were, I think, just three table this affected, all VEP* ones. I think I should have been able to change these via the virtual interface in SE80 except that the ECC5 code was a bit "light" in this respect, so you may be able to do this now in SOAMANAGER in ECC6 (btw, I also had to re-save the WS definition within WSCONFIG and re-activate the virtual interfaces after this "zap" to generated the associated handler class again).
#1. Given your "name / value" pairs represent a complex type, then it might be better practice to have them as "item" which is probably why SAP proposes it this way... what does your custom function module parameter list look like?

Calling an Abap Web Service from IBM WebSphere with a MYSAPSSO2 Cookie

Hello,
I have the following problem :
I have to develop a proof of concept between IBM Web Sphere 5.1 and SAP AS JAVA 7.0.
I have created an IBM sevlet in Web Sphere, I use a specific redirect from an SAP AS Java to call it, this way I can have a SAP Logon Ticket, and I manage to call an ABAP module function with JCO with SSO.
Scenario 1 : browser + authentication --> AS Java redirect servlet MYSAPSSO2 cookie -> IBM WebSphere servlet JCO -> Abap module function (ECC5)
This scenario works fine.
I have to do the same scenario with a Web Service and I don't know what to do.
I try to use jax-rpc handlers but I don't know how to pass my cookie from my servlet to my handler.
Scenario 2 : browser + authentication --> AS Java redirect servlet MYSAPSSO2 cookie -> IBM WebSphere servlet JCO -> Abap Web Service (ECC5)
Has someone already done that ?
Regards, Julien.

Julien,
Why are you using 5.1....go for 6.0 and its cake walk, i have integrated WebSphere 6.0 with R/3 uysing xi.....in a week.
Scenario changed to:--
Browser+ authentication --> WebSphere AS servlet request --> XI --> RFC/bapi --> abap webService
Hope that helps
