How to pull from a web service?

[Former Member]

Hello community,

according to the release notes of BW 7.3 (page 18) there is now an adapter available to pull data from a web service. In contrast to the traditional push mechanism for web services, the BW can request the data from the service as is typically the case for other source systems.

I cannot find any documentation on this new adapter. Furthermore, I'm not able to use it in a DataSource (see screenshot). I'm using a web service source system for the DataSource.

Does anyone know how to use the web service pull adapter in BW 7.3 or 7.4?

Kind regards,

Felix

Hi,

we are on 7.4 version and there is no pull adapter feature.

maybe this thread can help you https://scn.sap.com/thread/1906140.

I found only this one article:

Honestly, I never saw this functionality.

Hi, Felix.

Did you found any documentation on that?

Hi Henrique,

In the end we decided not to use BW for our requirement. The thread referenced by G.L. contains a link which may be helpful to you. Review the entire thread, particularly this answer, for more detail.

Good Luck!
