PI 7.1 enterprise services: How to find & invoke SAP HCM enterprise Service

[former_member188019]

Hi all,

in PI 7.1, i read, there is support of enterprice services.

is my current understandings right about PI 7.1 and enterprise services:

1.the standard BAPIs, standard RFC that were provided in R/3 are replaced by standard enterprise services in SAP ECC.

2.a nonSAP application can invoke an enterprise service in the same way as a nonSAP application used to call an RFC in the R/3.

I want to view how an enterprise service of any SAP module can be called by a nonSAP applicaiton.

are there any doc or blog which shows this.

is possible with/wihout PI.

We have follwoing things installed.

1. PI 7.1 SP4.

2. SAP ECC 6.0, i am dealing with SAP HCM module.

are there any enterprise services of HCM available (e.g standard enterprise services given by SAP for HCM module).

basically i want to test whether a nonSAP application like a java application, can it get some info using standard HCM enterprise services provided by SAP.

I explored esWorkplace (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/esworkplace), but it does not display HCM related process components under the column "DISCOVER ENTERPRISE SERVICES".

thanks,

Madhu.

They are not replaced. But Services are added in addition to BAPI's...

2.a nonSAP application can invoke an enterprise service in the same way as a nonSAP application used to call an RFC in the R/3. 

non-SAP App can invoke an Enterprise service based on Webservice Standards. Not by using RFC call.

There are lots of services available for HCM... Find them in teh below wiki..
