2. XI webservices

XI Webservice menas you are just defining the web service to generate the WSDL. Here you need to give the URL which will be directed to XI server. This is used for Sender Web Application.

Here you need to deploy this generated Web service on sender application to send the request to XI.

Hi,

1)ABAP webservice

these are used when thirdy party(non-SAP system) propietry wants to call r/3 system directly without any middleware like XI.

2)XI webservice.

these are used when third party wants to call XI or XI wants to call third party.

never XI webservice will be consumed by SAP r/3 or SAP r/3 system ll never consume XI webservice as we have adapters for connecting them.

webservice is always addressed for 3rd party,there is no best practice

suppose if u can integarte thrid party with SAP then there is no requirement for ABAP webservice.

Thanks & Regards,
