SOAP scenario

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I would like to gather your opinions about a requirement im currently facing on my customer site:

We have a SAP sender system that wants to invoke a WebService so that, as a result, users could see the window, insert propper parameters and submit them.

The Steps would be:

1) SAP: invokes a WS

2) The WS is shown in a screen the user can edit

3) The user insert values and submit them.

And that's it, however, I would like to know if there is a way of achieving this scenario by means of PI, I mean i want all the streams go through the PI system in order to control and be able to monitor them.

If so, what would be the scenario? SAP <-(??)-> PI <-(SOAP)-> WEB_SERVER

Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,

David

Hi,

>>>>1) SAP: invokes a WS

2) The WS is shown in a screen the user can edit

WS is something different then UI

WS is just a call (message) so just the endpoint of a UI

and what you want to do is to have a UI I believe

it would be the best if you could just have a link from sap application

to a UI which would invoke the WS

if you want you can build the web UI on the top of XI (ABAP webdynpro or java)

and send the WS call via XI

Hi Michal,

You are correct, i did identify WS with UI and that's wrong.

The UI is something is gonna be done by the DEV team, no UI development in PI so far...

SAP-end users want to access this UI and from there, submit the values (so, the UI webcode will call the WS)

My concern is about which is the best approach, with or without PI ?? and how this is done if we choose the PI option.

Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,
