Hi,

Steps to Create the Webservice From BAPI

the main requirement for creting the web service using the function module is the function should be RFC enabled.

1. To create web service of this Function Module

Go to Utilities ->More utilities->create a web service->from function module

2. A new wizard will be open to create the web service and click on continue.

3. Enter the web service name (any name that you want to give) and give the short description, select the Endpoint type as Fuinction Module and click on continue.

4. Select the Function Module name that you are using.

5. select the profile as Basic Authentication: SOAP Pro.

6. Press continue to release the web service. The web service is now created

To check the web service Go to the transaction WSADMIN and select the node

SOAP Application for RFC-Complaint FMs and expand the node and select your web service that you have created and expand the web service node up to the last .

Now to test the web service select the last node and click on the web service home page button and it will open the home page.

from this page u will get the wsdl file as well as you can testthe web service.

Hi Venkat,

For your scenario you can use SOAP adapter.

check out the details of SOAP adapter.......

SOAP Adapter: SOAP Adapter converts the SOAP messages into SAP XI message format that is SOAP with header attachments. This in an area many needs to really concentrate as it is heart of the ESA literature going forward.

Refer Testing XI exposed Web-Services:

and RFC -> XI -> WebService - A Complete Walkthrough -Part 2.

You can down load a sample SOAP Client tool from SAP SOAP Client Tool.
