No, this is not possible. The ABAP web service infrastructure was introduced with SAP NW 2004.

See release notes for NW 2004 for details.

Thanks Sam,

But i want ot know whether Web service creation wizard for BAPI and function groups can be used in SAP R/3 4.7 too?

or else there is any other way for creating web services for BAPI's.

I have the same question. I've checked the function module, function group, bapi, and spro and there is no option for creating a web service available.

Is this something we can turn on at a BASIS level?

Thanks,

Hi,

There is no web service wizard for BAPIs in SAP 4.7 version. BAPIs are already available as web services. One just needs to download the WSDL description of the corresponding BAPI's web service from the Web Service Browser, a BSP application whose URL is of the format -

http://<host_name>:<port_number>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/WebServiceBrowser/search.html?sap-client=<relevant_c...;

where the first two placeholders can be determined from transaction SMICM (choose GoTo -> Services).

To generate the WSDL description for a BAPI from the above URL, enter the name of the BAPI under "Search by Name" field, and press Enter to confirm.

Note that entries in this field are case-sensitive.

Links to the WSDL description and the stored documentation are displayed next to the name of the BAPI.

Hí,

As I know, theer is no need to generate anything. You may use all your RFC enabled BAPIs using WebService calls.

Hi Keith,

Refer to this link for web service creation wizard.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e9/ae1b9a5d2cef4ea4b579f19d902871/content.htm

Many of BAPI Web Service descriptions are available in the Web Service Browser.

You can access the web service browser using the following URL

http://<host_name>:<port_number>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/WebServiceBrowser/search.html?sap-client=<relevant_c...;

Rgds,
