WebService from XI

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

I have a RFC in R/3 system and I need to expose the RFC in XI as web service. Could anyone guide me how to create this scenario.

Note: my customer do not want to expose webservice from RFC in R/3 system. That can be done only from XI, if possible. So the communication from the client to XI will be through SOAP adapter and from XI to R/3 will be through RFC adapter.

Thanks,

Sri.

Hi,

You can expose an RFC as a web service using the Web Service Creation Wizard in SE37, <b>Utilities->More

Utilities->Create Web Service->From the Function Module</b> and you can use this.

To configure the sender SOAP adapter follow this guide : <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d23cbe11-0d01-0010-5287-873a22024f79">How to use the SOAP Adapter</a>

Hi Chandra,

Thanks for your answer.

My requirement is: web service should not be created from RFC. XI to R/3 communication should be through RFC adapter. If possible, webservice will be created in XI, so the sender can use SOAP for asyncronous commnucation.

Thanks,

Sri.

Hi,

Take a look at the document How to use the SOAP adapter given by Chandravadhana. It has a section that escribes the Sender SOAP adapter and also shows how to create a WSDL for your Message Intrerface in XI.

Use your RFC as the outbound Message Interface to get the request from your Sender and pass it to the R3 system.

Hi,

In that case create a message interface using the RFC for the sender side because you can create a WSDL for your interface using this interface definition. To create the WSDL in the Integration directory go to <b>Tools->define webservice</b>, the URL to be is in this format:

http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:<service>:<channel>; ,where service is the sender business service and channel is the sender communication channel.

Then you can use altova or any other soap client tool to test the scenario using the generated WSDL.

You can take a look at Stefan's <a href="/people/stefan.grube/blog/2006/09/21/using-the-soap-inbound-channel-of-the-integration-engine where you can send the soap request directly to the integration engine and hence would not require a SOAP sender channel. Just for some additional information.
