Calling a webservice in SAP from PI

[Former Member]

Hi

Scenario

"some portal"->SAP PI 7.11->SAPBACKEND (and return - syncronous call)

Ok here is the scenario. We have found a webservice "SupplierInvoiceERPByIDQueryResponse_In" (Get invoice detail by docnr and year) on esworkplace. We have imported the XI content on PI and now we want to make the configuration in ID. There are no mappings so it is a straight call from a portal with a reply back.

How to configure SAP backend - what steps is needed on the SAP backend? The Software component containing the the webservice "SupplierInvoiceERPByIDQueryResponse_In" is installed on SAPBACKEND (EHP4) but how to I make the connection between SAPBACKEND and SAP PI (ID)?

Thx in advance

Hi,

1. you should not use PI for sync calls from portals to ECC

2. why not use the WS directly from ERP (when it's sync - so needs to be fast) ?

well the fact is that we want to demonstrate a call from CE1/BPM over PI to SAP BACKEND for our SOA customers. But IS PI not recommended in such a scenario?

Hi Bohamo,

i have read somewhere that it is not advisable to use PI in a portal-->Backend type of scenario.

But still, if you want to use PI,

you have to use a SOAP receiver adapter to connect to the SAP Backend.

The URL and other information will be that of the SAP ERP systems'.
