Hi Madhan,

As Sam just said you have to design and configure a sample scenario in XI to make it available as Web Service. So I thought I will take the step of explaining you how to do the same.Please go thru the link below and follow the steps mentioned in it while defining the web service.

You can create SOAP Request from WSDL using the following tool.

You've to expose your outbound message interface as a WSDL which can be used by say EP.

Also go thru the following threads

In any B2B scenario, you're going to have stricter security requirements. XI and other SAP applications in the vast majority of cases reside within the internal network of a company, as I'm sure it does for your company A. It is recommended to have some kind of reverse proxy/web switch hardware/software residing in the DMZ to intercept the external request. Direct requests (especially HTTP) by most, if not all, companies will not be allowed to freely pass to applications within a company's intranet.

SAP has something called the Web Dispatcher that is commonly used for such a purpose. You can find more info on it at the following link:

You'll also find some visuals and more security related topics at the following link:

In addition, you'll probably require a more secure transport protocol like HTTPS/SSL as well.

I hope I have answered your query.

Hi Madan,

You have to design and configure a sample scenario in XI to make it available as Web Service. Once you configure the Scenario in ID and IR, use Tools-->Define Web service option in ID to generate the WSDL for that Scenario.
