Hi,

are there anyone who use axis webservice in PI. I'm using .Net web service easily but Axis webservice is problem.When i import. It doesn't show all parameter structure therefore it isn't used in message mapping etc.

thank.

PI is not capable getting .wsdl over Url.

axis webservice or .net webservice, it shouldn't really make a difference to PI.

>>Axis webservice is problem

just cross check the axis webservice, its wsdl to find out it really includes all the parameters that you are looking for. To check the webservice independently you can use tools like xmlspy, soapclient etc.

Hi wsdl uses some .xsd files.Although i imported .xsd also but .wsdl does not find some object.

How it must be written in .wsdl the namespace and schema locations?

Some.wsdl test tool easily use it.But PI is in difficulty to use.

I use tool--> import external definition menu to import .wsdl and necessary .xsd files.

It imports with no problem. After activation operation, i open .wsdl with double click and select messages tab. When i use drildown the methods, i see some parameters has red colored.

How can i solve this problem.

Thanks.

Hi!

Like already mentioned there are some restrictions. Unfortunately the PI 7.1 Online Help does not explcitely tell them as you can see here:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/26/9e97b0f525d743882936c2d6f375c7/content.htm

But the XI 3.0 documentation contains a hint:

For technical reasons, proxy generation and the respective editors in the Integration Builder do not support the entire language range of XML schema and WSDL. For an overview of which language elements are supported, see the Excel spreadsheet in the SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/xi ® Media Library ® Documentation: SAP XI 3.0 (SP11) u2013 Supported XML Schema and WSDL (EN).

Hope this helps.

Hi,

is it possible to use Url to import wsdl?

For example: http://xxx.com/yyy?wsdl

Soap testers, development tools (.Net), Some integration tools like MII uses Url to import wsdl.

Thanks.

Hi!

I am not really sure about maybe "hidden features" because currently I have no PI system in front of me. But as far as I know (and remember) you can only upload external definitions from file system.

Hi!

Are you really sure that the WSDL is well-formed and that it does not contain any WSDL special features not supported by PI (see online help)?
