How to connect to external web service and convert XML to a table

[former_member211576]

Hi experts,

I need to connect to external/non-SAP web service and convert XML in that site to a SAP table?

Is there a function call(SE37) to do this? Is it a must for me to install AS JAVA or PI and configure enterprise service? Please provide a link for me to retrieve relevant infomation, thx.

No, you don't need PI or the Java stack for this. You can create an ABAP proxy using the WSDL file for the web service and call the web service using the proxy class in an ABAP program. You can transform the XML response to internal tables/structures/variables using a transformation template that you create.
