Use of forward error handling without PI

[Former Member]

Hi,

We want to use forward error handling (FEH) framework in ECC ABAP for inbound asynchronous web services. We don't have SAP PI but instead will be using a non-SAP middleware. So, need inputs on following questions:

- Can we use FEH framework in ECC ABAP without SAP PI?

- Do we need WS-RM protocol for using FEH for inbound asynchronous web services?

- Any other technical prerequisites?

Thanks,

Vinod

Hi,

>>>>- Can we use FEH framework in ECC ABAP without SAP PI?

yes - FEH should work for all enterprise services not only for abap proxies (as of EHP5 ECC at least)

but better to use SAP AIF I believe (which is integrated with FEH) - have a look at my blogs on both topics (FEH, AIF)

>>>Do we need WS-RM protocol for using FEH for inbound asynchronous web services?

no, PI does not use WS-RM for proxy adapter too,

Hi Michal

In my scenario, we have ECC 6.0 (ehp 6) and does not have SAP PI. We are using a 3rd party middleware which does not supports WS-RM protocol.

So, for our asynch web services we will be using Plain SOAP (SAP-RM) instead of WS-RM. So, need to know whether FEH can be used with Plain SOAP protocol or not. I have checked PPTs from SAP on FEH and in protocols it only mentions about XI and WS-RM protocol.

Kindly provide your inputs and suggest how can I test this.

Thanks,

Hi Michal

I have a quick question regarding use of FEH in ECC ABAP asynchronous inbound scenarios.

Can we use FEH/ECH framework for custom web services created by wrapping RFCs/BAPIs?
