Webserviecall from SAP Business Workflow

[MSiegmund]

Hello,

according to the SAP Business Workflow documentation it is possible to call a webservice from a SAP workflow. Is there a good tutorial which explains this step-by-step?

Thanks for the answer, Arghadip. But it doesn't solve my problem.

I don't want to use a BSP or something like that, i want to use a custom webservice like the google search api...

What i intent to do is something like that:

- ad the WebactivityStep to my SAP Business Workflow

- specify the webservice via url or wsdl

- as inputparameters i want to for example some strings

- returnparameter sould be the searchresult

Is that possible? If so, how?

Hi,

Try creating your ABAP proxy client, then include it in a function and create your custom method in your BOR object...

If you don't want to use a proxy client look for the blog "Consuming Web Service from ABAP" by Durairaj Athavan Raja

If you want to use an ABAP proxy look at the blog

"SAP Network Blog: BSP a Developer's Journal Part XIV - Consuming WebServices with ABAP" by Thomas Jung... it's not only on BSP...

Hope this help.

Thx for the reply Gianluca, the blog Consuming WebServices with ABAP seams to have at least a suitable solution to integrate a webservice in the workflow. Unfortunately we have the release 620 and its a bit harder as thought.

But the solution via ABAP Proxy seams to me as a workaround, is this the only solution to integrate a webservice in the business workflow?
