If you are working with older version,you can publish in UDDI server,new version SAP named UDDI servier with Service registry,it based on UDDI 3.0 Standard.

Hi Arun,

You can publish a Web service to the UDDI server in the following way:

1. [Configure the UDDI Client and UDDI Server|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/f8/46537698664432b74aa4050ba73f25/frameset.htm]

2. Access the UDDI client on your system at: http://[host]:[port]/uddiclient

3. Follow the steps to publish the Web service.

As Gourav mentioned above, it is not mandatory to publish a service. You may want to publish services to an UDDI server when you know that someone will access this server to find information about the services. You may as well provide this information personally to the interested parties.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Simple excel file with service name and wsdl URL will fulfill your purpose of service registry but as I said before you can also download open source service registry from here: http://ws.apache.org/juddi/ .

Documents are provided with it. If I was you then I even do not bother to publish from SAP if it seems difficult but do the reverse publication i.e. goto service registry and publish service using wsdl url.

Hi Arun,

You don't need to create Services Registry, SAP provides it with AS Java versions 7.1 and later. If you have for example CE 7.1, 7.1.1, 7.2 or PI 7.1 or 7.1.1 in your landscape, you already have Services Registry.

Services Registry is something like yellow pages for Web services - it only contains information about services that have been published. What you can do with it is to publish information about Web services, classify them in categories, and retrieve this information. For more details, see [Services Registry|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/d9/0f7e2c1c644992a195d38cfec1b1f2/frameset.htm].

The configuration of Web services is performed outside of Services Registry. For ABAP Web services you should do this in [SOA Manager|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/b0/787748cf3a4200bb1ba32a62aa8519/frameset.htm], and for Java Web services you should do this in [NetWeaver Administrator|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/44/4d2bb1c6b00597e10000000a155369/frameset.htm].

Hope this helps,

Hi Rossen

Thank You for your response but our development landscape doesn't have CE 7.1, 7.1.1, 7.2 or PI 7.1 or 7.1.1.

Currently we are using ECC release 604 ehp4 package.

kindly suggest a way to publish web service in ECC landscape

Hi,

SAP Service registry is shipped with CE7.1.x or PI7.1.x so if you don't have those then you can't publish service into SAP service registry.

Also it is not mandatory to publish services so you can live without publishing it. Or you can search for opensource service registry on internet and download/deploy it within your landscape.

Hi Arun,

Services Registry represents a nice and convenient front-end to the UDDI server. In other words, Services Registry is an UDDI client with extended features - for details see [UDDI Server and Services Registry|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/45/bbfa6cf01252f5e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm] and [Structuring of Services in the Registry|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/45/bde963ae066000e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm].

Along with the UDDI server, SAP provides another ways (clients) to access the UDDI server in earlier releases, including in EHP 4.

For more information about UDDI and how you can publish a service, see: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/fe/0cb6f543994cd08bbbc6e0f22023e0/frameset.htm
