Do I need to add a module to create web services?

Former Member

I would like to expose some BAPIs as web services. I am running a R3 Enterprise ABAP system with the j2ee add-on. When I go to the BAPI transaction, there is no Web Service option in the list of tools. There is no WSADMIN transaction at all. Am I missing some module that I need to install?

I have a message in with SAP now because I cannot install the license key for my J2EE server, so that might be the cause, but I wanted to ask in case they are separate issues.

Thanks

Hi John,

SAP R/3 Enterprise is based on SAP_BASIS 6.20, and the web service wizard was introduced with SAP_BASIS 6.40. So there is no wizard and no transactions WSADMIN and WSCONFIG. It is not possible to "add a module" to enable that functionality.

You can use the SOAP Processor with SAP_BASIS 6.20, that is a way to access BAPIs as web service through one ICF service. For details, see e.g. http://service.sap.com/connectors, then below: SOAP Processor, or see a short introduction in the following blog:

[Service Enable Your SAP Application Component|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/2931] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken];. Sure there are much more resources in SDN about that.
