HTTP / XML and DMZ

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to send and receive an XML message with HTTP(S) to an external system. I have to pass a DMZ.

Can I use a webdispatcher for this fucntionality?

Hi Ron,

yes you can use the webdispatcher for receiving external messages. That is the idea of this great tool. But the dispatcher can only handle HTTP or HTTPs Requests, so it is not possible to communicate in both wasy. A reason would be to set up two instances of the dispatcher. One for sending, and one for receiving. It doesn't matter if your messages are received by the ABAP or Java Engine, you can configuire the dispatcher for both ways

To communicate thru HTTPs, first you need to install the certificate of the external system into your SAP system using trasaction STRUSTSSO2.

Once this is done , you can used class CL_HTTP_CLIENT to send and received XML messages.
