WebMethods consuming iDoc create web service

Hi ya
Third time lucky with this post!
I would like to recieve sales orders asynchronously via an iDoc (ORDERS/ORDERS05). We don't have XI but webMethods and I would prefer to use a web service rather than RFC.
So far I have proved the concept works without XI by exposing the IDOC_INBOUND_SINGLE as a web service which works OK with the WSDL. However, this approach only offers the WSDL as the iDoc structure (EDIDC and EDID4). Where as, I would like to expose a service that produces the WSDL in the ORDERS05 layout.
Any ideas.

Hi Joe,
One possible methodology you can use is Virtual Interfaces, see SAP Help how-to guide:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/37/12dd95a22831469a2363d98b19506b/content.htm]
With this option, you can create a web service view of your function module that suitable for your consumer party by exposing / not exposing import parameters (as required). If the exposed checkbox is unchecked, the parameter won't reflect in the WSDL used by your consumer, so they will only see (and pass through in the request) what you specify for them. Your function module will still remain the same, except now you will need to default values for the parameters that you have not exposed.

Consume Portal created web service from ABAP

I've done an EJB in Developer Studio, generated a WebService in the same tools and deployed then in Application Server. After that, I run the WS Navigator. The webservice receives a string and returns a List (java.util.List) and is working fine.
This WebService needs to be consumed from ABAP (7.0).
I am geeting multiple options to download WSDL. Which on should I sennt to the ABAPER? Earlier on I send the Default->WSDL. But it is giving some garbage in the return type and the return data type is improperly apped as ANYTYPE rather than a sequence with string within.
2 questions:
Should I send the Default->Download SAP WSDL to the ABAPER?
Why is not ABAP recognising the return type properly? Is there any manual activity in changing the WSDL before sending it to the ABAPER?

Closing for other questions.

Creating web service for bapi and consume in portal.

Hi ,
I am new to Web Services. This is my requirement I need to publish the functionality of bapi as a web service and consume the web service from portal side.
I have followed these steps to create web service.In transaction se80 i have created service definiton and a wsdl file is generated.
When i am exporting that WSDL file and creating a model in a webdynpro project. I am getting the following error. I dont know how to proceed further.Error while loading WSDL.Check error log for more details.
Whether the proxies need to be generated?What is the purpose of it? Where the proxies need to be generated?
Is Process integration needed to use web services?
Kindly guide me how to proceed.
Best Wishes
Idhaya R

the proxy is the object that make possible to use the service; even if service and consumer are on the same host, you need a proxy to use it.

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

Timeout when consuming a SOAP web service

Hello,
I'm quite new to Labview and I'm trying to consume a SOAP web service created using a very simple WCF example, but I keep on getting a WebException because of a timeout.
The web service has been created using the example from the WCF getting started tutotial (to keep things simple) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms734712.aspx
You'll find my .Net solution attached to this message. (You'll have to be administrator to run the service though).
I have used the import web service tool in Labview to create the VI to connect to the web service and all went fine, it created the VI correctly. You'll find the created VI also attached to this message.
Then, I'm trying to create a very simple VI to call the webservice and put the return value inside a numeric indicator. Unfortunately, when I run this VI it crashes with a WebException because of a timeout.
If I run the .Net client, everything goes fine, and if I go to the web service address with a browser, I get the service website, so I know that the server is registered correctly, only Labview can't connect to it for an unknown reason. Everything is setup to connect through localhost:8000, so it can't really be a network problem, I've tried disabling the Windows firewall to see if that was the problem, but it persists.
I've also tried to do something similar using the CDYNE web service, like in the example http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4728/en/, and it works perfectly.
Does anybody have an idea about what could be the issue?
Regards.

OK, I found the problem myself, it was a problem with the configuration of the WCF service, I was missing the ServiceMetadata endpoint.
For reference, if somebody stumbles upon the same issue as I had, here's a service configuration that works with Labview (using .Net >=4.0)
 <system.serviceModel>
 <behaviors>
 <serviceBehaviors>
 <behavior name="">
 <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
 <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
 </behavior>
 </serviceBehaviors>
 </behaviors>
 <protocolMapping>
 <add scheme="http" binding="basicHttpBinding" />
 </protocolMapping>
 </system.serviceModel>
And here's how to create and run the service host.
using (ServiceHost selfHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(Calculator), new Uri("http://localhost:8000/Calculator")))
 try
 selfHost.Open();
 Console.ReadLine();
 selfHost.Close();
 catch (CommunicationException e)
 selfHost.Abort();
 throw;

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

Issue in creating web service for a ABAP Function Module

Hi,
now i'm learning how to create web service for a ABAP Function Module. I used the following steps.
1. select the Function Module, named "zws_test".
2. in the context menu, select "create->proxy object". so we enter into wizard.
3. in the wizard, press the radio button "Service Provider".
4. in the next page, press the radio button "Existing ABAP Objects(Inside Out)".
5. In the next page, Enter the "zws_test_prvider" as Service Definition and select "Function Module" as Endpoint Type.
6. in the next page, enter "zws_test" as Function Module and mark the "Mapping der Namen" button
7. in the next page,select "PRF_DT_IF_SEC_LOW" as Profile and mark "Deploy Service".
8. Save in the local package.
9. then it will pop up a window with title "WSDL Source". i selected "URL/HTTP Destination" and press "OK".
10.in the next page, i enter the URL as "http://hostname:portnumber/", and press "OK".
11. then it will pop up a window with title "Display logs". A record with error message "HTTP error(return code 404, message "Not found")" appears.
12. i press "ok" and a service provider with name "zws_test_prvider" appears in my local package.
13. i use "zws_test_prvider"'s URL to create a service consumer "ZCO_WS_TEST_CONSUMER" and logic portal "LP1".
14. But when i test my service consumer "ZCO_WS_TEST_CONSUMER", it will throw an exception "cx_ai_system_fault" with errortext "SOAP:14 Unexpected element -el=definitions ns=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/".
15. I use t-code SM59 to test connection and get the following info.
      Status HTTP Response     200
      Status Text                      OK
      Duration Test Call             328 ms.
who can give me the reasons about item 11 and 14, and explain me how to create service provider and service consumer for a Function Module.
Thanks in advance

Help: consuming an external web service with user name token

Hello Together!
I need to consume an external web service secured with WS-UserNameToken. The way, how did I do it:
1. I generated a web service consumer (proxy) in SE80 from the wsdl file
2. I created logical port for the consumer in SOAMANAGER
3. I created security profile in WSSPROFILE with telpmate SET_USERNAME and assigned it to consumer operation in LPCONFIG (I use LPCONFIG, because I didn't find any way to do it in SOAMANAGER)
3. I called the web service and got the error back: session token is missing or invalid or has inspired
My questions are:
1. is this possible to consume an external webservice in SAP, which is secured with WS-Usernametoken?
2. do I need therefore any settings in java stack? do I need java stack in general?
3. Is this any way to configure the consumer without writing programs, which set header parameter manually?
4. if the answer on the third question is no, do you have any examples, how to implement session management in report? (I mean sending session id and checking the validaty of id)
I appriciate any help of you!
best regards Anna

Hi,
it should be possible to use WS-UserNameToken for consuming web service. It should be available on AS BAP 7.0 and higher. This profile should be under category Document authentication. You can try to dump a message send from SAP to see what is going out of SAP. This should be supported in ABAP so you don't need a Java stack. What exactly do you want to configure? Do you want to just set user name and password for that service which will be used for any calls of that proxy?
Cheers

Consume an external web service with an ABAP proxy

Hello,
I'm working on creating an ABAP Proxy to consume my first web service. In searching SCN I haven't found a comprehensive list of steps to complete the process, but I have found information on generating a proxy from a WSDL and creating a logical port.
My first issue arises when I go to SPROXY to generate a proxy from a WSDL, I see the message 'Local objects only (No Connection to ESR)', and I have no ability to 'create'. The Enterprise Service Repository seems to be the new name for the Integration Repository, if that helps. Do I need the ESR installed to create a proxy?
A follow-on question, assuming I do need the ESR, would be what do I do with it? It appears to serve the purpose of design for interfaces, messages, and mapping, but I thought that happened when I created a proxy in SPROXY.
We're on ECC 6.0, with a 702 / 0007 basis release. I appreciate and light you can shed on the topic.
Thanks

ESR is part of the PI system, and it is where all interfaces details are stored.You could create an ABAP Proxy from a pre-defined WDSL yet stored in PI as part of some communication, but you can also import directly a WSDL from a local file or even from a URL.
ABAP proxy generates a proxy class and a set of abap structures , fields and data elements. Simply by filling the data and call a method in the proxy class (depends of syncrhonization a different method name) you can consume your service. No PI is needed if you use the local option.
There is a very good Tutorial from Thomas Jung. I'll try to find it.

Advice on How to Create Web Services.....

Hi Guys,
We're contempating the purchase of Xcelsius - but the version without FlyNet - as it has no user restrictions. We've done some experimentation with the use of XML Data Sources, but prefer the idea of using a Web Servcies Data Source.
The problem being that we have little experience with this sort of thing.
So, does anyone have advice for us on the best way to create Web Services that will source data from an Oracle DB?
Does anyone have any example scripting to go along with it?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
Mick

We found the same issue while experimenting with .Net web services. It seems Xcelcius cannot consume a Dataset.
However it can consume an array of strings. It interprets this as a table of information.
Below is an snippet of the C# .Net code to create the array. (It has two values: a company ID and a count of employees.) I did not write this code (a developer on our team did.)
EmployeeCount[] Counts = null;
 int i = 0;
 Counts = new EmployeeCount[dtOutput.Rows.Count];
 foreach (DataRow row in dtOutput.Rows)
 Counts.Company = row["COMPANY"].ToString();
 Counts.eCount = row["EmpCount"].ToString();
 i++;
 return Counts;
Below is an example of how we structured our webservice output
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ArrayOfEmployeeCount xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<EmployeeCount>
 <Company>string</Company>
 <eCount>string</eCount>
</EmployeeCount>
<EmployeeCount>
 <Company>string</Company>
 <eCount>string</eCount>
</EmployeeCount>
</ArrayOfEmployeeCount>

Consuming an external web service with WAS 6.40

Hi all,
I know this thread isnt 100% XI forum related, my apologies for that. However, I believe somebody here has experience with this subject.
Im trying to consume an external web service through WAS 6.40 with se80. When I try to create my proxy object package Choose Create > Enterprise Service / Web Service > Proxy Object > URL type, I receive an error message (SPRX084) -> During proxy generation, an interface description in WSDL format is fetched from the integration builder or from another source and interpreted. This WSDL document must describe the whole interface correctly.
I dont have sure, but it seams something within WSDL object/element. Nevertheless, these external web services are working well with other third party client applications, why SAP WAS cant take this WSDL?
Anyone has faced an issue like this one?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

Hi,
some tools do not generate WSDLs correcty (not with all the standards
or with obsolete parts) and then in ABAP you cannot generate a proxy from it
you should be able to see the some more details in disgnosis section
sometimes you just have to change one or two things in the WSDL
and it will be ok for WAS but you need to find the exect cause
of the error - it can be done by debugging

How to create web service for a Java class in SAP NetWeaver Studio

hi all,
i am using SAP Netweaver Developer Studio.have created a normal java project and i want to create web service for one of the classes in this project. i used the Web Service Creation Wizard to create a web service for this class. but it says there's no methods available for VI. all my methods in this class are public, what should i do?

Hi,
I guess there are other ways. But this is an easy way, if you find the right wizards.
Besides this it is good practise to define interface methods so that session bean implement these interface methods, and thus seperate the interface from the implementation.
In this approach you will need 3 projects:
An enterprise application project (will contain EJB Module)
An EJB Module project (will contain session bean)
A Java project (contains code that implements the session bean methods)
In my previous post I suggested to use a J2EE web mudule project. This was a mistake, it should be EJB module.
But it should be possible to do it in another way. It is up to you.
Good luck, Roelof
