How to Avoid Web services getting refreshed due to system copy/refresh of corresponding ECC system

[Former Member]

We have over 150 Web services and 3 non production system. After every refresh we need to manually recreate the bindings/end points. Is there a way to avoid refresh of webservices during the system refresh or way to automate the creation of bindings/end points.

We have a release coming up and post that the web services count if going to increase 3 times.

Hi Pranay,

There's no way to automate this. The endpoint bindings are host and client dependent, they will be wiped out with every copy/refresh.

You could explore the "Mass Configuration' option to drastically speed up the re-configuration process.

Hi Pranay,

I saw a guide on this a couple of years ago and I can't seem to find it anymore

The other problem is that SOAMANAGER tcode varies quite a bit depending on your software version. You can start here:

Mass Configuration has been changed to Business Scenario Communication

You can also refer to this thread, I haven't tried this before so I can't say how well it may (or may not) work:
