3rd Party Web Service Tool Usage

[Former Member]

Hello Raja,

Could you let me know some step by step process?

I am trying to use as per your instruction:

what you need is to find out the request format of this webservice . to get this format you can use some third party tools

i prefer the following tool which is free

http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Details.aspx?SampleGuid=65a1d4ea-0f7a-41bd-8494-e916e...

I get the following error:

Initializing

Generating WSDL

System.InvalidOperationException: General Error http://FQDN:PORT/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/Z_SFLIGHT_VI?sap-client=500&wsdl=1.1 ---> System.Net.WebException: There was an error downloading 'http://FQDN:PORT/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/Z_SFLIGHT_VI?sap-client=500&wsdl=1.1'. ---> System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.

Hi, Arun.

These days, i'm also struggling with finding 3rd Party WS tools(Free!).

And my conclusion.

.NET webservice studio was simple and nice but not for SAP Web

Services due to the complex types and namespaces problem.

i recommend you to try also this tool!

http://www.soapui.org/

Good Luck.

soapui is also a tool I would recommend!

personally I use PHP, it's soap functions, and PHPs reflection API. Very productive once you know it, kind of hardcore as long as you don't.

• JIT Debugging **************

To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this

application or machine (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

For example:

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine

rather than being handled by this dialog.

i just tried to tranlate part of it to english (courtesy babelfish)

<i>"Registration missed What happened? The call of the URL http://ersb3ci0.gene.com:8062/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/Z_SFLIGHT_VI was broken off due to incorrect dates of registration. Reference The registration was implemented in the system BWQ. Here no dates of registration were made available. What can you do?"</i>

do you have necessary authorization to run this WS.

now if you go to request/response tab you can get the format of SOAP request and response.

hi,

difficult to tell from a distance but I think the problem is this:

you could retrieve the WSDL with the correct authorization data.

but when your framework called the service itself it didn't supply any logon credentials.

interestingly it seems to have suppressed the authentication challenge window and directly throw you a 401 error.

you have to find out where you can statically supply logon credentials inyour environment.

elswhere for instance, you instanciate the proxy class passing logon credentials, proxy information and other things. try to figure thatout.

regards,

anton

[athavanraja]

the way to pass authentication for webservice call from .net webservice studio is

click on the invoke button and click on the root node . on the right side in input box go to the node proxy->Server Properties Server

and click on "String user name for Basic auth" in the value box set isNull to false and enter the userid , like wise set the password and then invoke the webservice.

cool. nice cooperative effort. cheers, anton

[Former Member]

hi,

specify the WSDL as

http://FQDN:PORT/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/Z_SFLIGHT_VI?sap-client=500&wsdl=1.1<b>&sap-user=your_rfc_user&sap-password=your_rfc_user's_password</b>

or it is sap-username, forgot that for the moment.

regards,

anton
