This is purely based on your requirement. If you use PI middleware to expose web services, you get standard functionalities such as certificate authentication, logging, message reprocessing for the failed messages etc. If your requirement is so simple, then you might not need PI. In this case you can develop simple webdynpro for abap program to create webservice and expose the webservice in ECC webservice runtime. You can let anyone to consume within your network. other ways like exposing BAPI/RFC as webservice. I would recommend going with PI.

u can expose BAPI/RFC as web services in ECC and which can be access by any third party application.

if u do it with PI then u will get all the benefits of PI.

so it upto business and requirement.

Hi,

you can expose any function module as web service in ECC, and that service can be accedd by other people within the same client network.

If you want access other web services , create proxy class and call it.

Please give some more desc about your req.
