Visual Administrator and ABAP Client Proxy (external web service)

Hello,
I have generated client proxy in SE80. Is it possible to see it in Visual Administrator?
I need to make changes to some security setting and hoping to do it within Visual Administrator.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
I think that your are mixing things up.
A client proxy in SE80 is in the Abap stack.
Visual Administrator is used to configure the Java stack.
Don't forget that the Netweaver application server is mostly a marketing myth.
In real life there are a Netweaver Abap application server and a Netweaver Java application server.
These 2 application servers are sticked together with some "software glue"...

MDB receive a message and then call an external web service

Title basically says it all, but I'm looking for suggestions for the best way to have a message driven bean receive a message then process it and call an external web service with the results. This seems like a straightforward problem to solve but I keep getting stuck in the deployment to weblogic when I do it my way so I'm looking for new ideas.
Basically, I have an MDB that gets deployed to WL 10.3 and receives messages just fine. Also, I have a standalone class, that runs from the command line or IDE, that can send messages to the external web service. But when I try to bring the code from the standalone class into the MDB and get it deployed, I can't get all the dependencies to resolve.
So, is there a proper (quick and easy) way to do this? Which wizard should I be using to get Workshop to create web service client so that I can use it in my MDB project? Any suggestions to tutorials?
Thanks,
Matt

Yes BusinessService is the reference point used in OSB to call a backend provider service. So we need to configure the business service based on the external service (they can be http based, jms based, etc ..)
In your case I am assuming it is a http based web service. So below are the steps to be done:
1. Create a business service (if you dont have a wsdl then create it as "Any soap type" else upload the wsdl as a wsdl resource and then use it) and configure the url of the business service with the URL of the external service you want to invoke.
2. From the proxy flow, have a service callout action and select the business service. Then configure the appropriate body and header variables.
3. Then test the proxy service from the test console, you should be able to see the response from the external service as a part of the service callout response.
Let me know if you still have issues.
Thanks,

ABAP server proxy as web service provider ??

Hi friends,
I am wondering that if is possible to expose an ABAP server proxy as a web service on NetWeaver ABAP. I tried that, but failed to call it.
I generated a ABAP server proxy by using the PI inbound interface. I can call the ABAP server proxy by PI. From SOAMANAGER of the beckend system, i saw that this just generated ABAP server proxy is a service. Then i curious if this generated ABAP server proxy can be exposed as the web service like other RFC function modules on the same beckend system. So i generated a ABAP client proxy by using the binding WSDL of the ABAP server proxy. But the testing of the generated ABAP client proxy failed.
So my question is if it is possible to expose an ABAP server proxy as a web service on NetWeaver ABAP?
The beckend system is SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4. The PI is 7.11.
Thanks!

In other words, is it possible to consume a server proxy by client proxy? If yes, how to consume it?

Client proxy consuming web service provider using logical port issue

Hi All,
I have a proxy client having a logical port (configured using NWDS) to consume a web service in the provider system.
In the logical port, I have given target address, and logical port name. While moving this client proxy NWDI dev track to Q and prod,
how do I change this target address to point to Q and prod respectively. In other words, even though I am using Visual admin to configure the destination url for the logical port, to point to Q and prod, its still referring to the dev environment provider service after moving the proxy client to Q and prod. What is the suggested approach to take care of this issue
Thx

Hi Michael,
I can only help from that point of view that I believe this question belongs to the forum
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and SAP

TREX and ABAP-Client with SAP Web AS 6.40

Hi!
We want to use the TREX in order to enhance the performance of our own business object searches within our ABAP engine. Therefore I've heard that from ABAP we can use the TREX to search for business objects residing in SAP ABAP stack tables.
Currently we are working with ECC500 and SAP Web AS 6.40.
Has anyone experiences in this area?
Are there any How-To-Guides or s.th. like that?
What is the Software Level prerequisite of SAP Web AS 6.40 Release/Support Package? Or do I need SAP Web AS 7.00?
Thanx for any hints and tips!
By the way: Posted this question in the ABAP forum and got exactly zero replies.
Regards,
Volker

Hi Volker,
it would be better to upgrade to WAS 7.00.
There you could use the search engine service for business objects that was delivered with SAP NetWeaver 2004s.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a751a1ec-0a01-0010-f0ba-89e4c5cd0261
This would be preferrable, as direct access to the TREX APIs is not officially supported. SES gives you all the methods you need for indexing and searching on ERP objects.

External web service call from WebDynpro for ABAP

Hi...
I'm inspecting Web Dynpro For ABAP, and trying to call external web services.
I'm created Web Service, CAF-AS.
I create the proxy class(se80) and Logical Port(lpconfig), and I take the web service in componentcontoroller of my web dynpro using Web Dynpro Wiserd.
Though I expected the context to be registered by the same type as the service interface,
they are created strange structure as follow.
<Context>
CONTEXT
---FIND_BY_PARAMS
IMPORTING
INPUT
CONTROLLER
ORDER_TEXT_BY_PARAMS_REQ
---EXPORTING
OUTPUT
CONTROLLER
ORDER_TEXT_BY_PARAMS_RES
The CONTOROLLER is defined by the type PRXCTRLTAB, and
ORDER_TEXT_BY_PARAMS_* has deep structure, as follow.
ORDER_TEXT_BY_PARAMS_REQ
---CONTROLLER type:PRXCTRLTAB(structure)
---QUERY_TABLE type:ZTABLE_NAME
---QUERY_FIELD type:ZFIELD_NAME
---QUERY_OPTIONS type:ZORDER_TEXT_QUERY_OPTION_TAB
I want to use only service paralmeters, that is named query_*.
I tried to excute the webService but dump "OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED" occurs.
I think I must set any value to CONTOROLLER,?but I have no idea What & How I should set value.
please let me know, what is the CONTOROLLER, and how to call external web services.
Regards,
Naoya Tsugo,

I solved problem by myself.
There was carelessmiss in activation of LP.
Now, I'm closing the topic.
Thanks and Regards.

Deliver data to external web service possible in OBIEE 11g?

Hi all,
I'm looking into the possibility of "pushing" data from OBIEE and out to an external web service, e.g. through executing a scheduled report that instead of delivering the result on screen, it would call an external web service that would consume the generated data for storage in an external system.
Does anyone know if this is possible to implement in OBIEE 11g? (So far, all I've found is how to display data in OBIEE through consumation of web service(s), but I'd like to "push out" data to a web service from OBIEE).
Regards,
-Haakon-

Action Links 11g - Invoke webservice you can try out..... I never tried... Just sharing my views.

Consume External Web Service (WSDL) in ABAP (Release 700) - Proxy Error

Hi All,
Have a requirement to Consume an External Web Service in ABAP. We have the WSDL for Ext. Web Service.
Did some research and came across the link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/69/8a1e9553dc4baba6026a3db510cadb/content.htm
First tried to generate a 'Consumer Proxy'. Since external WSDL, used SE80 to generate the Consumer Proxy.
But finally got Error Msg 'Incorrect value: XSD name space not available'! Could you please let me know:
1) What is causing this error and how to rectify it?
2) Is it possible to view the Proxy that I had created (which is in error)? is there a Proxy Editor?

Hy Brad, I got the same error by trying to generate a 'Consumer Proxy' from a external WSDL. u2019Incorrect value: XSD name space not available'. I have solved it in this way: The report RSSIDL_DESERIALIZE_DEMO has the same check routines as the R3-Proxy Generator. I debugged this report using a saved external WSDL and compared it with using a saved WSDL (Server) generated under /nse80.
-> In the WSDL, in part message the "type" isnu2019t allowed, because the dezerialization is done already.

Java Web Service / ABAP Client proxy ... username & password

I have some ABAP function modules that need to use some Java web services. For this, I have created a client proxy that is utilized by the ABAP function module and the client proxy in turn communicates with the Java web service.
The web service does BASIC (USERNAME/PASSWORD) HTTP AUTHENTICATION. When I execute the ABAP function module in test mode, I am prompted with a username/password. How can I pass this username and password to the Java web service programmatically.

Calling external Web Service: PI is looking for a logical port and proxy.

Hi,
My scenario is ECC Proxy -> PI -> External Webservice (WS adapter).
the Web service adapter fails with the error message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="">

<SAP:AdditionalText />
<SAP:Stack>System error while calling Web service adapter: Error when initializing SOAP client application: 'error_text'</SAP:Stack>
<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
</SAP:Error>
When I debug the message processing, it is looking for a port in table SSRVRTCONFIG, finds it(entry created automatically when WS adapter and the corresponding receiver agreement is activated in ID.
Then the program looks for an entry in "SRT_CFG_CLI_ASGN" for a proxy and logical port combination and errors out.
to be able to call an external web service, do we need a proxy to be created? I tried to create but the proxy creation fails because the external WSDL has some unsupported tags.
Also do we need to do any other configuration in SOAMANAGER? I am assuming not because the Web service is external.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Vijay

I already checked that note and made sure that the points mentioned are met. I have a trace set up on the target system and would know if the call reaches them and then fails in authorization. Right now the call doesnt even reach the target system and also from debugging I know that the program is looking for a proxy and then fails.

Client proxy generation in NWDS with external web service

Hello,
- I try to generate a client proxy in NWDS (7.0 SP12) from a wsdl which includes a complexType and which is non-SAP.
Wizard Procedure in NWDS: New client proxy definition > i select WSLD source = URL (it is same symptom with local file) > Then i fill URL > Proxy definition window: i see URI and package filled with value of complexType in wsdl file.
When i click on Finish, wizard generates some file on OS but there is error pop-up "Problems while generating the Proxy Definition".
NB.
Same procedure with a similar wsdl without complexType works well .
Objective is to use this proxy at SAP portal level.
- Main errors in NWDS logs:
Caused by: java.lang.Exception: WSDL part points to unavailable type with qname:
so, does anyone has encoutner this issue ? and also does complex type is supported ?!
(Notes that wsdl format is correct and if i remove "wsdl:type" portion and references, client proxy is correctly
created in NWDS.)
Thanks for help! Regards, Frédéric

Hi,
Complex types are supported but I am not sure if complextype with sequence is supported. See note: Incorrect field sequence with group SAP Note Number: 813545 (not sure if it is applicable to you as you are on NWSD 7.0 SP12).
Another note: SAP Note Number: 1266761
I suggest try to remove "sequence" and then try again.

Consuming an External Web Service using HTTPS and WS Security

Hello everyone,
I'm having a problem setting the security information in a SOAP header using a generated ABAP Client Proxy to consume an external web service that requires a User ID and Password in the Header section of the SOAP message. I need to use HTTPS. I'm on a WAS 7.01 SP08 system so from my readings, SAP is supposed to be able to add the username and password into the header section of the message. I can't seem to get SAP to add this information added to the header.
Here are the steps that I have taken to set the security values.
1) Created the client proxy from the WSDL in SE80. Basic Authentication on the Configuration tab was turned on automatically.
Note, Transport Security is set to None. I cannot change it.
2) Created an outbound set user name profile in transaction WSPROFILE with the appropriate username and password.
3) Added the profile to the default port in transaction LPCONFIG as an outbound under the WS Security section of the screen.
When I called the external Web Service, I got back the following error message:
com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.SoapSecurityException: WSEC5509E: A security token whose type is [http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#UsernameToken] is required.
So, after reading through this Forum, I saw that I needed to use the SOAMANAGER. I set up a Proxy in the SOAMANAGER and manually created the Logical Port. This was the only way I could figure out how to set the Authentication Settings in the Logical Port to "User ID / Password". I then entered the User ID and Password.
However, I am still getting the same error message. I feel I am close but missing some small configuration to tell SAP to use WS Security with a Username token.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Stephen

I had this error again so I thought I would post my solution:
The issue is SAP needs to know the certificates being used by the web site being called. These certificates are automatically installed in your browser but need to be manually installed in SAP. This is what I did:
How to find/install new certificates
Make sure you run Internet Explorer as an Administrator so you can export the certificates
Go to the web site that SAP is trying to call in Internet Explorer
Double click on the lock in the address bar
View certificates
Find the certificates that are being used
Tools --> Internet Options --> Content --> Certificates
Click on the “Trusted Root Certification Authorities” tab
Find the certificate identified in step iii
Export as a CER certificate
Click on the “Intermediate Certification Authorities” tab
Find the certificate identified in step iii
Export as a CER certificate
Go to STRUST in SAP
Import the Certificates in the “Anonymous” or “Standard” SSL client
Save

Front End internal and external web services

Hi all,
Can someone explain the purpose of internal and external web services URL in front end server. what does it do and what is it used for? and why the external traffic goes directly to it and not through reverse proxy?
Thanks,

They're for multiple purposes. Address books, autodiscovery, meeting urls, mobile clients, etc. There are two because they respond slightly differently based on whether the client is internal or external. External traffic should always reach
it through a reverse proxy, that reverse proxy should proxy traffic received on port 443 to port 4443 on your front end pool.

External Web Service - User and password in HTTP header

Hi!
How is it possible to add user and password in the HTTP header in a external web service call?
I have created a "Portal Service from WSDL file - Client side" with the wizard in SAP Developer Studio. I following the Java Development Guide - Web Service Security, and use the <i>secured service connection</i>. I have also created a new <i>System Landscape</i>, but should the new system be based on HTTP, my own PAR or what?
How can I check that the user and password is added to the HTTP header or the SOAP envelope? Do I have to scan http traffic with a proxy as Paros or can I find the request sent from SAP EP in the logs?
Cheers
Asle

Hello All,
I have been struggling a bit while putting a reasonable security framework on a jax-rpc style web service. I'm using JWSDP1.2 to set up the webservice. I've tried to outline my problem below. Please correct me where I'm wrong.
I've been through the Sun's WS tutorials, but they are not really clear on security. However, from them I surmised that there are two decent authentication techniques. HTTP Basic and mutual authentication (MA) . Both have their drawbacks though. HTTP Basic suffers from poor encryption while MA is a bit difficult to set up on both client and server sides. Another problem with MA is that there is no central repository for users/passwords.
OK, what I would really like to do is use my own user database to verify users/passwords i.e. use a HTTP Basic like authentication (but at application level) but run it over SSL for encryption. It seems simple, but is it possible?
Also, I have noted that when I use HTTP Basic on the service side, and use a java client, then setting username/password has no effect. In other words, I can always access the web-service, even with wrong username/password.
Sorry for the long post. Hope someone can help. Thanks.

Is it possible to call an external web service using ABAP?

Hi~~
I wonder that is possible to use an external web service in SAPGUI using ABAP without PI ( Process Integraion ).
The external web service means the service that is developed by web-language like ASP.NET.
Thank you.

hi,
i'm trying to study on how to use the oracle bi publisher using another client application aside from oracle. the client application is custom and uses a .Net framework. unfortunately, i am not familiar with how .Net sends requests to oracle bi publisher so i was thinking that may be i can just create oracle pl/sql stored procedures that can send this requests over to bi publisher.
p.s. when you said concurrent manager, i'm not sure if you are referring to oracle apps concurrent manager but if you are, unfortunately i won't be using oracle apps with bi publisher.
thanks
