I guess you are looking for SOAP lookup in PI 7.1, right?

If yes, check following blog from Jin Shin:

Hi Shweta,

Do you want to call a webservice from PI?

In this case, Pi has to send SOAP request to webservice.

If this is your requirement then you have to use SOAP receiver adapter in this case.

Hi,

Create an External definition and import that WSDL into the same.

This is not different to PI 7.0

Check this guide:

Hello Shweta,

Could you please clarify your question? Do you mean you need to call some business system from PI via SOAP? Or do you need to test integration model using SOAP client?

If the requirement is to make a SOAP call to PI (send SOAP request to PI system), please refer to the guide which Stefan suggested in his post. The general procedure is the following:

1. generate concrete WSDL in PI (you can do it via PI's Integration Directory);

2. import generated WSDL to SOAP client (e.g. XML Spy described in the guide or soapUI which is free SOAP client);

3. create SOAP request message in the SOAP client and send it to the endpoint (in this case, it will be sent to PI).

This is general procedure for making SOAP calls to SAP PI using external SOAP clients. Please advise if specified steps should be described in more details or if there are any questions from your side regarding them.

If the question is about calling business system from PI via SOAP, then please refer to SAP Help, configuration of SOAP receiver::
