File System -> XI -> R/3 Webservices

[Former Member]

Hello XI SDN'ers

Following is my scenario:

File System -> XI -> R/3 Webservices (BAPI_MATERIAL_ExistenceCheck)

from my file system I am getting a "Material Number" and I have to check in R/3 if that material exist or not using R/3 webservices.

I downloaded WSDL file of the corresponding BAPI.

My questions is:

(1). Is it possible to use this WSDL through SOAP Adapter to call R/3 webservice? or else is there any other better way to implement this functionality?

(2). If I use this WSDL, how I can specify "R/3 Logon Authentication and Client number"?

Thanks & Regards,

Satish.

(1). Is it possible to use this WSDL through SOAP Adapter to call R/3 webservice? or else is there any other better way to implement this functionality?

yes it is very much possible to use a soap adapter to communicate with the webservice in the backend.

I do not know if it is a better way, but we can use a RFC communication channel to communicate with the BAPI directly instead of the webservice.

(2). If I use this WSDL, how I can specify "R/3 Logon Authentication and Client number"?

In your service definition in SICF transaction you can either specify the logon details.

The client number will be a part of the URL itself.

Hi,

Yes you should use the SOAP adapter.

In the specification of the path we should give the client number.

Yes SOAP Adapter is the right way.

You can do this in the connection parameters of the SOAP Adapter.

Client is a part of the url:

http://<host>:<abap-port>/sap/bc/soap/rfc/sap/BAPI_MATERIAL_ExistenceCheck?sap-client=<client>;
