How to display WSDL for standard SAP transactions

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I'm going to ask this here as this appears to be where most people ask questions about WSDL.

A bit of background... I am a lapsed ABAP programmer. The last time I did ABAP (or any SAP), Netweaver was a twinkle in some shoolkids eye.

I have been asked to find a list of the WSDL for standard SAP transactions (in SD/MM) as my employer has it in his head to write his own front end to Customer & Materials master transactions.

Does such a thing exist? Am I barking up the wrong tree?

I am using an ECC 6.0 system. I have ER2 SAPGUI for html, ER2 WAS JAVA and ER2 Portal, whatever they are....

TIA,

Bob Shaw.

You will not have WSDL's for Std Transactions SD/MM (like VA01/MM01).. But for the underlying processes of SD/MM..

Like SalesOrder Create Process,and also data objects associated in these process, CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations of Customer, Material etc...

To get a complete list to them, explore in ESWorkplace..

Hi Siva,

Thanks for that info. I have looked at the ES Workspace and it is very interesting.

You were saying that WSDLs do not exist in a direct one-to-one relationship with transactions but with the underlying processes. OK, that makes sense to me.

You also said:

"To get a complete list to them, explore in ESWorkplace.."

Sorry, when you say "them" do you mean the underlying processes or the underlying processes and the WSDLs.

Are the WSDLs listed in ES Workspace?

Thanks,

Bob Shaw.

Hi Bob,

Yes, the WSLDs for all the Enterprise Service are listed in the ES Workplace.

The best part is that SAP even provides a test environment wherein you can test these services which are actually hosted in SAP's landscape.

Lets go step by step:

1) How to find out the WSDL for Service in ES Workplace:

a) open the ES workplace http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/esworkplace

b) Click on the hyperlink "ES Workplace "

c) Click on the "Index" hyperlink. This would provide you the list of Process components. You can choose your component and drill down to the level of "Service Operations". There you would find the link to the WSDL of the same.

See if you are able to achieve this.
