Problem Creating Proxy from Interface based on External Defn.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to create an ABAP proxy of a Message Interface, which is built from an External Definition. I created the external definition by importing XSD of existing BAPI.

While creation of proxy, I get following information dialog: "Message Interface references the External Definition". But, the ABAP proxy is not created.

If anyone knows solution to this, kindly put it ASAP.

Thanks and Regards,

Bhavish and myself are working together on the same problem. I wanted to answers Stefan's Query regarding version of SAP Web Application Server version

The source information links as given below. (I think you are asking for this)

Hi Monzy,

no, Stefan gave the information that abap proxy generation is possible for external definition with WAS 6.40 but not with WAS 6.20. I searched for an official SAP source for that. I didnt see any notice about that in SAP library (your link).

The application system we are using is 6.40. We are able to create Proxy from a Message Interface which is built from an Message Type.

But if we try to create a Message Interface which is built from an External Definition i.e (xsd of BAPI) we are getting the dialog "Message Interface references the External Definition" and the Proxy is not generated.

If anyone knows solution to this, kindly put it ASAP.

Thanks

When I understand right, you upload the BAPI to IR, download the XSD and upload this as external definition.

Is there any special reason, you are doing so?

When you upload the BAPI to IR and create a message interface pointing to the message type of the RFC directly, then it should work.

You cannot create ABAP proxies from external definitions, IDOC or BAPI, when your application system is based on 6.20.

This works only, when your application system is based on 6.40 or higher.

Hi Stefan,

when i read your answer i remembered there was something, yes, works only at WAS 6.40. I wanted to verify that but i found only a thread answer from you with nearly the same content. Can you provide the source of your information?

Hi Bhavish,

for ABAP proxies you need to build the interfaces in IB repository. Only from this "XSD dialect" proxies can be generated.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

So, does that mean that ABAP proxies do not support External Definitions?

Hi Bhavish,

<i>"You must also have created message interfaces in the interface maintenance of the Integration Repository before you can generate for these proxies."</i> from <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/555f3c482a7331e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">SAP Library: ABAP Proxy Generation</a>

Hi,

I have created message interface. It is based on messages contained in External Definition. I am trying to create proxy for this message interface.
