Creating Web Service

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement to transfer a pdf from the application server to a 3rd party using a FILE Sender and SOAP receiver..

The file should be send as a attachemt.

The people who handle the 3rd party system are unable to understand when i tell them that a web service needed to be installed in their end.

Can anyone tel me where i can get sample code of API's that would be required at the 3rd party end to read my attachment and store it in a folder.

Regards,

Hi Vignesh,

In your FILE-SAPXI-SOAP scenario the technical details will be as follows:

Integration repository:

1) Have your data structure for source file system in SAP XI

2) Import the wsdl file of your webservice as an external definition. This will give you the target structure in your SAP XI.

3) Do the mapping between source & structure , n create interface mapping.

Integration directory

1) create communication channel : sender file , receiver soap

2) create receiver determination as webservice business service will be your receiver

3) Create interface determination

4) Create sender agreement( for file adapter)

5) Create receiver agreement (for soap adapter)

Hope it will solve your query.

You dont have to install anything on 3rd part , you just need wsdl file from 3rd paty webservice team.

Thanks & Regards

Hi vignesh,

i dont think ,there i any need to use conversion agent .

its simply transferring pdf file to differnet third party system through xi.

as u said that u have file in application server.so that u can use FILE(NFS) to FILE(FTP) scenerio .

if u will search u will get blog how to pick the pdf file.

Hi Vignesh,

As per as my knowledge, if u send PDF & Excel sheet formats to XI u need to use ' Conversion Agent'.

It is nothing but a sending the PDF's and Excel Sheet formats to XI server.
