Invoking Webservice through a BPM

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I need to invoke a webservice through a BPM,the data then should be coming from webservice and be posted to R/3.

My concern is I need to schedule the webservice through the BPM for the entire process.

Can we starta BPM as the very first step of just invoking Webservice(Synchronous Send) or to statrt a BPM we always need the recieve step first. If recieve step is needed first What should I recieve in this case.

Please Suggest me.

Hey,

BPM cannot be invoked on its own.

It need a recieve step

You can have a simple file adapter as the first step

Place a dummy file at the ftp

Hi,

a BPM process always needs a receive step at the beginning.

You may set up any sender interface that can be scheduled (e.g. client proxy call in ABAP in a report that is scheduled in a job) to send a message (via integration engine) to the process and start the BPM process with that.
