Web services call directly from SAP ?

Hi ESA Experts,
Is it possible to make a web service call directly from a SRM or SAP R3 system without using SAP XI ?. If so, have you some code samples ?
Thanks a lot for your response.
Best regards
Etienne

Hi, Etienne.
There are two things to do.
1. Prepare Service Provider
For providing services, there are many tools to publish as web services
from BAPI, RFC and Enterprise Services.
Please look at here.
help.sap.com - Web Service Toolset
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/db/99c04ba22fe64f96a8651df68eab92/frameset.htm
i recommend Web Service Creation Wizard as first step.
2. Prepare Service Consumer
Also has many tools. What i like is WS Navigator for basic test of web services.

Error in calling a web service of primavera from sap MII

Hi All,
I am trying to consume a web service of primavera p6 from SAP XMII 12.1
I tested the web service from SOAP UI ,its working fine for me,but when I tested with MII ,connection is unsuccessful
I have used the HTTP_Post Action block and entered the required information as specified correctly
Error is:
[ERROR] Post Action: error occured while trying to connect to the server Exception: [Connect timed out]
I tested with web service action block of MII also but no luck now.
Please explain me reason for hte error and how to get rid of it,
Its very urgent,please help

Hey,
I think this is an authentication issue. Are you passing the user credentials in Web Service action block.

Gita

Connect to Secure web service with certificate from SAP EP

Hi Experts,
Here is the current situation:
1. Our business requirement is to connect 3rd party RESTful web service which requires secure connection with private client certificate attached
2. I've tested in my Java test application and successfully attached private certificate to HttpsURLConection request to the web service and made a connection. No problem at all.
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12");
InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream("privateKeyCert.p12");
keyStore.load(inputStream, "myPassword".toCharArray());
KeyManagerFactory keyManagerFactory = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance(KeyManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm());
keyManagerFactory.init(keyStore, "myPassword".toCharArray());
KeyManager[] kms = keyManagerFactory.getKeyManagers();
SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
sslContext.init(kms, null, new SecureRandom());
SSLSocketFactory sockFact = sslContext.getSocketFactory();
URL url = new URL("https://www.thirdpartywebservice.com/testroot/");
HttpsURLConnection conn = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setSSLSocketFactory(sockFact);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setUseCaches(false);
conn.setDefaultUseCaches (false);
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml");
3. Next, I tried to apply my Java application to SAP EP NetWeaver, and found that I have to use SecureConnectionFactory:
https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/e2/71c83edf72e16be10000000a114084/content.htm
4. So, I modified my Java code for SAP EP:
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12");
InputStream inputStream = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("privateKeyCert.p12");
keyStore.load(inputStream, "myPassword".toCharArray());
SecureConnectionFactory scFactory = new SecureConnectionFactory(keyStore);
HttpURLConnection conn = scFactory.createURLConnection("https://www.thirdpartywebservice.com/testroot/");
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setUseCaches(false);
conn.setDefaultUseCaches (false);
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml");
And I'm facing the following error message:
Exception: java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: ja
va.security.GeneralSecurityException: Unable to decrypt private key: javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Invalid PKCS#5 padding length: 253
Could you please help me what this error message means?
Do you think do I need to to do some other configuration to make connection to web service with client certificate?
This is our first approach. Please help...
Thank you in advance.

SunJSSE implement SSL server CertificateRequest in a strict mode, if client failed to find a proper certificate corresponding the server request, it does not guess what's the proper certificate and send to the server. In your case, because there is no intermediate certificate in the client context, so there is no way to make the decision which certificate would be acceptable by server, so client does not send any cert to server. That's why you got a handshaking error.
I guess your client key store does not contains a full certificate path from the client end-entity certificate to the root CA. Please import the full certificate path into the key store.
BTW, these approaches should work, but I found no reason why one does not adopt #1:
1. import the full certification path of client certificate into client key store.
2. as a workaround, configure the server to send a list including the intermediate certificates;
3. as a workaround, you will have to customize the client KeyManager if you don't want to or are not able to configure the server to send a list including the intermediate certificates.

SAP Web Services Call with MQSeries

Hi all,
Our system is ECC 6.0 NW 7.0 SP15 with no PI and XI. Currently we can connect between SAP and Third party using web services call directly. However, our network & infrastructure team want to use MQseries as a message queue and broker.
We can connect to MQ using IDOC for asynchronous method. But for synchronous method, how can we connect to MQ? Can SAP call web services to MQ or pass the message to MQ synchronously? How to do that?
Thanks,
Chaiphon

First of all, I do not think a Queueing system supports synchronous calls (Please correct me if I am wrong). The name it self says that, the system queues messages instead of immediately responding. May be if MQ seriese supports giving a transportation acknowledgement thus simulating the synchronous calls, it might support.
As per my understanding, queuing systems only support async messages.

Configuring SSL to make a HTTPS web Service call from XI

Hi All,
We are making a https web service call using soap adapter from XI. Looking at the various posts and SAP help links, we are configuring SSL for the same.
The procedure given in SAP help has been followed to configure SSL but with no luck. If someone had done this could you please give a step by step procedure to configure SSL, we might have missed out on something.
Also are there are any other settings apart from SSL to be done to make a https web service call using soap adapter from XI.
Cheers,
Chandra

Can anybody suggest a means of making SOAP Web Service calls from an 8.1.7.4 database ?I think you'll be very lucky to find anyone here who still has access to a version of Oracle that is that old....

It would probably help if you could post what code you've got and explain which function(s) it's complaining about, as I doubt people will want to guess.

Web Service call - XI - SAP and SAP - XI - Web Service response ???

Hi ALL,
Need some guidance on the following Scenario :
A Legacy system would transfer some data to SAP thoruhg a Web Service call and would expect a response from SAP by way of a response to the same Web service call
A synchronous Interface , inbound to sap via a Web service call and back to the legacy system through the response to the same Web Service .
Need to provide WSDL to the Legacy system
Any help on how to do the above mentioned will be apreciated
thanks in advance

SD,
Check this weblog for step by step procedure:
/people/siva.maranani/blog/2005/09/03/invoke-webservices-using-sapxi
Here instead of deploying in XI you will deploy your webservice in the legacy system.
If you want to test this webservice then check this weblog:

Occasional SOAP errors when making web service calls from C#

We have a C# application making web service calls to RFCs (non-NCO, SAP 4.7, WAS 6.40) and occasionally getting the following error:
The 'SOAP-ENV:Envelope' start tag on line '1' does not match the end tag of 'SOAP-ENV:Envel'. Line 1, position 34560.
This error happens randomly and can occur, not occur, and occur again for the exact same call (same data, same web service call). I anticipate that we might have a missing configuration on one of our application servers, but don't know where to tell BASIS to look. Any ideas or other help would be appreciated.

That's going to be difficult. The random nature of the error makes it impossible to reproduce (so far) in our Development and Test environments. Since the error is coming from the SAP side, I believe I would need a sniffer on each production application server in order to try to catch this and that would result in some very large log files. Is there any log file or other SAP transaction that might already be capturing these failures?

Special Character XML Web Service call from Flex

Hi,
Let me first give a little background.
I have to query and return data in XML format. To do so, I have created a custom DSC component. In cases where XML has special characters, LC throws error saying that XML is not properly formed. To over come this issue I used CDATA tag at DSC component. Now LC works as it should and I returns correct result.
I have a web service call from Flex to get this XML result. Every time i trigger this web service I get an error message saying </document> tag is missing.
I understand in Flex, web service returned data is wrapped in CDATA tag, thats what i causing all this issue.
I am not sure, how to handle this situation, I am sure this is a common problem and there should be ways to work around it.
I would really appreciate if any one could point me in the right direction.
Thank you ..

Web Service call from VB Macros & web service for logging in

Hi All,
Is it possible to call a SAP web services from a Visual Basic macro?
1) If yes, how to do so?
2) Is there a standard web service through which we can login to an R/3 system?
3) Once we are logged in can we call other web services?
Thanks in advance!!
Regards,
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
ad 1) It is possible. In this Excel to SAP R/3 I posted some examples on how to call webservices from within Office 2003 applications.
The posts are very detailed, I just didn't create a blog since feedback to scripting languages blogs is so low that I didn't find it worth to carefully author a blog.
ad 2) Web service calls are stateless so you have to authenticate each time you call a service. Either by single sign on mechanisms or by simply hardcoding the credentials.
hope it helps,
anton

HOW TO CALL A WEB SERVICE OR EJB FROM BPEL

HI
i want to call java web service or ejb from my bpel process. how can i do this.
i am using oracle soa10.1.3.1.0 and jdeveloper 10.1.3.1.0 and oracle database xe 10g.
thanks in advance K ROY

You could deploy your EJB or Java under a web service into your OC4J, after that, you invoke a partnerlink from BPEL to the destination of wsdl will do. Also don't forget to add in your XSD schema as well.
Thanks,

I use SOAPUI (OpenSource/free version) to interrogate the web service (read wsdl) and format a sample SOAP envelope to use.
I then use UTL_HTTP and code a HTML POST for that web service, using the SOAPUI generated envelope as template. Supporting WSSE is also not a problem (easily done using PL/SQL).
I posted an example of my approach in {message:id=10448611} almost a year ago - and recent experience having looked at both UTL_DBWS and the plan vanilla PL/SQL HTTP approach, I still recommend the latter.

How to see http response from an axis web service call (Eclipse)

Hello,
I would like to see the raw http response which is returned from web service calls. I have a dynamic web project in Eclipse which uses a local instance of Tomcat 6. I'm using all of the default setting for a top-down web service generated from a WSDL file. I've generated the client using the built-in "generate client" using default settings.
I've tried using the Eclipse plugin TCP/IP monitor and apache's TCPMON, but I am only able to see the http request, not the http response returned from the web server I am querying.
I've seen some sparse documentation outlining how to use logging handlers and a client-config.wsdd file, but I haven't been able to get that working.
So to recap, I'm looking for a way to view raw http responses using a web service client and server generated from a WSDL file in eclipse. I don't mind creating a new project using different code-generating libraries if someone has an easy way to do this using a different configuration.
Thanks very much,
Craig

A simple google query for "apache axis2 http response" also return this article:

And finally, you did go through the Axis2 website right? It has a wiki with a rather staggering amount of articles in there.

Initiating BPM Process Instances from External Web Service Call

I'm attempting to update the HelloWorld example so that I can create an instance of the process from an External Web Services Call rather than via the Workspace. Our current SOA Architecture is configured so that all BPM instances are managed through a .NET SmartClient via the Service Bus and the use of PAPI W/S and so I'm wishing to recreate this capability in the new BPM.
I understand the replacement for PAPI W/S is Human Workflow so I've therefore updated and republished the HelloWorld Example with an Exposed 'TaskService' Service for the Human Task within the BPM Process.
I've then attempted to reference the TaskService through our existing BPM, and have been able to import a number of generic WSDL's as follows:
Task Service
http://vmaquatestapp2:7001/integration/services/TaskService/TaskServicePort?WSDL
Task Metadata Service
http://vmaquatestapp2:7001/integration/services/TaskMetadataService/TaskMetadataServicePort?WSDL
Task Query Service
http://vmaquatestapp2:7001/integration/services/TaskQueryService/TaskQueryService?WSDL
When I examine the available operations for these generic services, there are quite a lot, each of which have a fairly complex schema. I believe I should be using the TaskService: InitiateTask Operation to create an instance of my BPM Process but my questions are:
- Is the above the correct method of interacting with BPM Instances from an external system such as the Service Bus?
- Does anyone have any examples of a basic XML payload that would initiate a process instance?

I created an process with a message start event and can call it from an external web service call. I can also pass input arguments and map those to process data objects. However I can not find how to return data as response to the external web service call as e.g. the process instance id.
Is it possible to this?

Making Web Service calls from a Form in the WorkSpace

I am getting conflicting information about this, so I hope someone here could clarify it. TIA.
This is what I want to do:
after a form is displayed/launched in the WorkSpace,
when the user Tabs out of a field (Exit event) on the form,
I want to make a Web Service call from the form,
get the result from the WebService,
and use the Result to populate another field on the form.
I know for certain that this works if I Reader-Extend the form,
and I set the JavaScript at the Exit event (to execute WebService call)
as "Run At Client".
The question is:
can I make the WebService calls without Reader-Extending the form???
I have been told that, yes you can,
but *only if* you let the JavaScript "Run At Server".
I tried that, but it caused the Reader to crash.
Some other people told me,
no you can not,
even if you "Run At Server", the form still needs to be Reader-Extended,
when using it in the WorkSpace environment.
So, what is the truth? can someon tell me?
Can I make WebServers calls from the Server-side at all?
Do I really need to Reader-Extend the form even if calling it from server side?
What exactly is it SUPPOSED to work?
thanks

yes, thank you both. I got the fix from Adobe Tech Support last week. It's working.
The fix I got included a rather complex looking "Submit Service" though. Makes me wonder how a regular user would know that he needs to write such a Submit Service?? and even if he knows that he needs a special Submit Service, would he know how to write it??? I found no documentation for this type of things either.
Shouldn't this solution be published somewhere in Adobe's website? Dev Lab perhaps?
