ABAP Proxy and BPM with message maping

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a scenario like :

ABAP Client Proxy ( synch )

-> BPM ( to retriggr SOAP call and raise alerts with error and reponse back to Abap client )

-> message mapping

-> SOAP ( synch )

1. What can be the issues with this scenario ?

2. How can I return response and excetion back to ABAP client from BPM ?

You can have a exception handler block in your BPM that will return the response back to the Proxy in case of an Exception etc.

Refer to the Exception handling section in this link ,

Hi Bhavesh,

what kind of mapping I might need in lpconfig ( XI or webservice ) ? If I use webservice will it be less efficient as it had to go via http and use java stack for BPM and mapping ( and not XI protocol and ABAP stack which is supposedly more efficient ).

Thanks and regards,

Anisha.

Hi Bhavesh,

I need to call a SOAP service from ABAP client synchronous proxy.

How should I configure using transaction lpconfig - what is the runtime i should use as I need to use BPM and tranformation in XI.

If webservice runtime - what else I need to enable the call to XI ? What kind of http port i shoud use ( type G or H )

Thanks and regards,

Anisha.

If you are going to use ABAP proxies and XI , then you would just need to enable ABAP proxies as shown in this blog on your R3 system.

You need not use a BPM as both Proxies and SOAP support fault message and so you can use fault message mapping to propogate the fault message back to r3.

Hi Bhavesh,

We have a very heterogenous env. with XI as a middleware for non sap applications as well.

As per design guidelines for consistent processes - we need to do all the error handling and alerts in BPM.

You mean you are planning to use a BPM for all Interfaces just because someone told so? Why use a BPM when there is no need for it. If you have a Business Process that demands a BPm then yes use it, but for this sceanrio, you can use Fault messages to propaggate the error back to the R3 system, and use the Xi alerts ( without BPM ) if a runtime error occurs etc.

Is there some Business Process Involved here? What is the exact requirement?

some non sap applications cannot handle error handling , logging, retriggering and triggering some other business process and alerting which will be complimented by BPM. They want to use a similar design template for a cetralized error handling.

I hope it is technically possible but not aware of the exact steps required.

Thanks and regards,
