SAP BPM Integration with SAP BRFPlus

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We can convert BRFPLUS rules as web services.Can we call these BRFPLUS rules into BPM in an automated activity?

Thanks in advance

If the RFC is working fine and tested completely, why do you have to convert it into a Service?

Simply call the RFC into your BPM Process.

Go to your project explorer-->Expand your BPM Project-->Right-click on WSDL Files-->Import RFC:

Search for your BRF-RFC and click Finish:

Once imported, you will see the created files under the 'WSDL Files' folder. Then you can call it in any Automated Activity.

Hi SIddhant,

Thanks for a very valuable reply.

I tried to connect the SAP system to NWDS using the Preferences button.

There are 2 options Single Server and Load balancing

Which one to choose?I tried with single server but it did not accept the SAP system password and after copule of attempts it shown that the there are too many attempts and logon is no more possible.

Please guide me.

Also,can you please provide any blog for using web service as well as RFC in automatic activity

Thanks in advance

Hi,

When setting up the preferences for your system connections, you can simply use the settings in your normal SAP GUI software - if it is Single Server there, then copy it, etc.  No-one else can know what to recommend as we can't see your systems.

As for logging in, have you checked with basis/authorisations that the user you are using has RFC access?

With regard to consuming BRF+ via RFC or WS, generally there isn't much difference but there are probably architectural decisions to be made.  There are lots (and lots) of reasons to choose between RFC and WS but please don't let your decision be based purely on what is easy for you now (which would typically be RFC.)  What happens next week/month/year when someone wants to use that BRF+ rule in a non SAP solution, or in a web app or similar?  If you publish everything as services from day 1, you are creating a modular, componentised and re-usable library of services - effectively an internal API library - for the rest of your organisation to use.  Although RFC is quick and easy, it isn't exactly an open technology standard.

There are lots and lots of blogs and documents in the BPM space here on SCN, please just search for them (as otherwise people will just add link farms here, which you could find yourself.)

Cheers,

Hi All,

I reset the SAP system password and configured it in NWDS as well as in NWA.

But when I click on Service Interfaces-WSDL file-Import RFC  it says the user or password is incorrect.

Can you please advise why is it happening?

Thanks in advance

Did you see my last reply where I suggested searching for them?  Have you tried reading the documentation at help.sap.com?

yes, but rfc may be more preferable

Hi Jun Wu,

Thanks for the reply.

If I create a RFC out of the BRFPlus rule,can I call it  in BPM?

Can you please provide any blogs for that?

Thanks in advance

Hi All,

I created a web service using the BRFPLUS UI.

But how to check it in SOAMANAGER?

I tried to create a service out of the Service Interface created in Web Service Configuration on the home page of SOAMANAGER.But it asks for Authentication method in the Provider Security Step.

But the button of No Authentication is disabled.

Do we need to add some BRFPLUS specific roles to enable this button.

Kindly advise.

Thanks in advance
