Update an existing web service

[Former Member]

What are the proper steps to update an existing web service (i.e. already deployed and in use)?

If the underlying RFC changes (i.e. fields added to table that is returned, etc.) the web service definition must be synchronized with those changes.

I don't see any options to do this. When I have tried to delete the existing service entry (via SE80) it tells me "XXXXXX service does not exist." which is odd, since I see it in SE80, SICF, SOAMANAGER, etc.

This is frustrating because it is not an obvious fix to me.

Thank you, in advance, for any recommendations, ideas, etc.

Hi,

If fields of underlying RFC is changed then just goto SE80, select your service, click on "edit" button. After that click on "Check" button.

SAP will detect inconsistency and ask you if you want to adjust click on "yes" SAP will automatically adjust the definition of service.

In SOAMANAGER you can see the new wsdl with correct definition. If not then try to republish endpoint (using WSPUBLISH) and edit endpoint definition in SOAMANAGER.

There is no need to delete anything.
