Viewing SOAP message for the web service consumed in SAP ECC

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have developed a ABAP  web service provider in  SAP ECC  6.0 & NW 7.01. I have tested this web service provider using SOAPUI 4.52. Then for the web service provider created in SAP ECC system, I have also created a web service consumer in the same system and tested its working fine.

Using SOAMANAGER transaction I tried to see the message log, but the report didn't show any details. I thought SOAMANAGER will show SOAP messages that are transmitted when we consume a webservice. Can someone share with me on whether I have missed something to see the SOAP message or I am looking at the wrong place.

Regards,

Basha.

Hi,

Not sure about ECC, but in PI, one has to enable the logging for synchronous messages and this is how you do it:

1. Go to SXMB_ADM -> Integration Engine Configuration.

2. For category RUNTIME, set the parameter LOGGING_SYNC value to 1(activated)

Try doing the same in ECC.

Hi All,

I just found how to check the SOAP messages gnerated by ABAP web service. 

1. Go to tcode SRT_UTIL

2.  There is a folder with the name "Users & Terminals & Request URI" on the top left. Right click on this folder and select "Add user, Terminal or Request URI".

3. A popup screen is shown enter the user id which is used to trigger the webservice in "User Name" field and click on okay button.

4. You will see four tabs on the right side of the screen.  In the "Configuration" tab select  "Active", "High" and "Active" in the fields Performance Trace, Functional Trace, Payload Trace.

5. Select the radio buttons "Consume & Provider", "Any Consumer Proxy" and "Any service Definition"."

6. Finally click on "Save Configuration" button.

7. Call the webservice, then call the transaction "SRT_UTIL". Click on the tabs "Performance Trace" or "Functional Trace" or "Payload Trace", you will see some records double click on the record to traverse further and in the subsequent screen you will  see the log details of webservice.  Selecting a record and clicking on the button "Original XML" message will show the SOAP message details.

Hi Adarsh,

Thanks for your reply.

If I am not wrong the <host> and <port> you have mentioned is of PI server. I don't us PI to do this development, the web service provider and consumer are done in SAP ECC only.
