In order to create a web service on SAP R/3 what are the prerequisites.

[Former Member]

Hi All

I want to create a web service(for a bapi) on SAP R/3 which will be used by a third party application. I dont know anything about creating a web service. My question is <b>in order to create a web service do we need to run Sap R/3 on netweaver ?</b>. I cannot see create web service on my BAPI screen.

Thanks

Hi Dohr

We are running 4.7 on WAS 6.20 .I heard ,if we have to activate webservices on WAS 6.20 it will expose all the RFCs and BAPIs as web services. Could you explain me what is the main difference between WAS6.20 and WAS6.40 in terms of creating web services and how do i activate web services.

Thank you very much

You can enable services using transaction SICF, however, this is not a "real webservice" but BSP transactions.
