Using a Mediated Consumer Proxy in a Direct Connection

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

We need to use the standard enterprise service SupplierERPNotification_Out (Consumer proxy) to call a third party system's web service by means of a direct connection (without using PI). However, when we try to create a Logical Port for this service in SOAMANAGER, we are unable to find this service there, and hence we are unable to create the Logical Port. Also, we have observed that the 'Configuration' tab is not available for this service in SPROXY as can be seen in the attached screen shot. While this tab is available for other outbound services.

Also, when we simply try to trigger the proxy without configuring any logical port, we find that the request gets logged in SXMB_MONI rather than in SRT_MONI. Is it that, this being a mediated service, it would by default try to call PI only? Is there a way by which we can use this mediated-only / brokered consumer proxy to directly call the target web service by means of a logical port, rather than routing it through PI?

Kind Regards,

Jyotika.

When you try to test the Service Consumer from SPROXY, you will be prompted to provide certain details like the whether its a local interface call or use Runtime etc. there you need to provide the Logical port name created in SOAMANAGER.

If you don't provide the logical port, then the system by default takes the runtime from SXMB_ADM and mostly the SXMB_ADM would be pointing to a PI system and that results in calls going to PI system instead of your desired Service.
