Business Service - Other Attributes

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I have a file to rfc scenario, The file is coming in from a file system and mapped as per business req to the structure of the BAPI.

I am using a single business service for both sender and receiver , I came across other attributes tab where it is Third party service (chargeable) or SAP Service (Non Chargeable)...

What should I select , and what is the impact ??

pls share your thoughts.

Regards,

Teja

if the service is for any system other than SAP, it will be 3rd party chargeable.

That option does not mean a restriction on the number of business services that you can create...or its relation to cost....it may mean that if you have to exchange message with some external system (third party) then there may be some charges associated with it.....for internal communication (with your SAP system or with FIle/ DB which is installed in same landscape) you wont have any cost factor associated.

Hi Abhishek,

Thank you so much for the reply..

But how would it actually matter to the developer, I mean from XI perspective it still remains a service right...

how would we know if it is chargeable or not?

how would we know if it is chargeable or not?

This is what your integration architect or Business Folks will confirm.....if it is confirmed that the service which you are trying to send message to is a third party then you may be charged for some amount....the business has to takke a call on whether the messages is to be sent by paying some charges or use some other mechanism which will provide more cost-effective solution.

Saw this when we had a Discovery Server installed....personally never tried communicating with third party systems....but my project-anchor mentioned this issue of charges with the Discovery system.
