Hi Hamja,

Are you using a WebService sender (SOAP Sender) or receiver, (SOAP Receiver) ?

If you're using a Soap Sender Adapter you must publish the WebService on the PI Server, if is Receiver, then the client has to provide you the WSDL File.

Hi Juan,

Here my client is going to provide WSDL(Client is in sender side) and I would like to know the ways they can provide WSDL to PI (I know that they can send that wsdl thru mail and giving an URL). I would like to know the alternate ways they can give us their WSDL.

I am new to PI 7.1 and i would like to know whether there is any possiblity to publish their WSDL into PI service registry or any other alternate to give their WSDL to PI(Apart frm the ways i mentioned earlier).

Thanks

Hamja

Hi Hamja,

If you're going to post the WS (the webservice will be hosted on the Pi Server) they don't access to the SR because you will do it. In this case, they will need an user to access to the server.

Hi,

In this case, they will need an user to access to the server.

Hi Hamja,

What you have understand is the difference between:

- When you use a sender SOAP Adapter, in this case.. you publish the webservice to be hosted in your PI server; so, you generate the URL and the WSDL File. And you give this file to everyone who wants to consume that WS.

For example, an interfaces that is WS -> PI -> RFC. (Sync Communication)

- And in the other case, is when is a receiver SOAP. With this scenario, and external party provides you a WSDL and a URL in order to PI invoke that URL to be the consumer of the WebService.

Example: RFC -> PI -> WS (Sync Communication)

Which scenario are you going to do?

Hi again,

Then you don't need any WSDL nor URL. You have to create them by yourself with the "Define Web Service" wizard, that is in the Integration Builder, in 'Configuration' menu.

Hi,

Your client is not required to provide you the WSDL, you can generate the WSDL and provide to them. URL will be provided by you to your client (sender).

Using SR is completely optional and not at all mandatory to use the Web Services in PI.
