Calling Web-service

[abhradeepbasu]

Could you please let me know the step by step approach to implement the following scneario:

interfaces going into PI has to be in XML and all calls into 1SAP ECC system must be web services.

PROXY should be WebService as well.

You can use SPROXY to expose interface to web service for ABAP or use NWDS to develop proxy for Java.

I would say for practical purposes we can say that "XI call" = "Webservice Call" = "proxy call".

Example: A third-party web service consumer sends a request to the PI/XI system.

The PI/XI system sends it to the ECC system, using an XI receiver channel.

(No mapping is needed.)

There are not just RFCs/BAPIs in ECCs, but also a lot of webservices = XI interfaces = XI proxies. Start transaction sproxy in the ECC system and you will see them.

interfaces going into PI has to be in XML and all calls into 1SAP ECC system must be web services.

PI can process only XML messages.....either you receive messages in XML format or you have to convert the same into XML (may be by using a module) before PI can start with processing (mapping/ routing).

Call to SAP ECC should be Web service would probably mean that the ECC interface (RFC) is exposed as a webservice.

I feel your query is too generic to provide any concrete solution

1. Can we say Proxy call is also a webservice call.

2. Is there any other webservice call from Pi to ECC except RFC

[arijit_mukherjee2]

Hi,

1.Proxy is not a web-service call.

2.You can expose the RFC as WebService and can call that from PI else you can call the RFC directly.

so could you please provide me some links where i can find this type of solution where RFC is exposed as a webservice and being called from PI

Proxy is not a webservice call unless you make it one....SPROXY --> create your proxy --> SOAMANAGER --> WS admin --> create the service name, endpoint
