Web service for inbound to third party solution

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I am working with a scenario of posting idocs from ECC into a B2B third party system using SOAP. I have created the service interface for the inbound to the third party and supplied them the WSDL the old fashioned way from the service interface export as file . But I would like to use the new features for PI 7.1.

Should I publish this in the SR and then give the WS name to the third party vendor?

I have gone through the literature in the forums, how would I assign the endpoint? Does the endpoint URL need to be provided by the third party system and then added in the SR?

Also the option of creating WSDL/Web service from the sender agreement, is that primarily geared towards sending SOAP applications and not receivers? I am a tad confused here.

Please advise.

Hi,

Since you are using Web Service at the receiver side , the WSDL will be provided by the third party which you will import in the ESR as External Definition and then use this WSDL to do the mapping.

Thanks,
