WFS and SAP PI

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have an integration requirement to expose geospatial data as a Web Feature Service (WFS) on SAP PI. WFS is an OGC standard and it is based on the SOAP protocol. The XSD and WSDL are published by the OGC. Details on the WFS standard can be found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Feature_Service

The data itself is fairly simple. It's a cloud of points with attributes.

At first glance this sounds feasible, however after a fair amount of googling I could not find anyone who attempted this before. Have any of you attempted to build a WFS receiver interface on SAP PI before? What is your experience? I am particularly interested in the level of effort required to achieve this, whether it worked in the end, and generally to hear about your experiences.

Thanks

Al

Hi Alain,

I haven't experience in this concrete case but i have had to deal with similar cases. First of all, you should to download to local all the XSDs and wsdl files and to check if you can test the webservices in local. When you finally test them you should to try to upload all the schemas to the ESR and to check that all the dependencies are right, sometimes it' s necessary to modify the dependencies between files or any tag because different PI versions dont support all the XSD/WSDL capabilities. Finally, you can develop the entire ???-SOAP scenario quickly.

Regards.

Hi Alain - Never tried and in fact i just got to know that there is such service and thanks for that

If i go with wiki and the information you gathered - I think it should be like any other web service interfaces through PI as it uses soap/http protocols..

It has got wsdl..endpoint URL..etc..
