Calling SAP ME web services with out reference names

[Former Member]

Hello,

When calling SAP ME web services from non SAP clients, is there a way the users can by pass the reference names? Just pass SFC details instead of SFCREF.

example:- Data collection web service expects SFCRef:- SFCBO:<SITE>,<SFC> rather than that, what we are expecting is just pass SFC name and get response from ME.

Hi Adarsha,

ME always accepts references only.you can do this in two ways,

1. Form a string with respective business object + site + object and pass.(ex: SFCBO:<SITE>,<SFC>) and then pass as reference.

2. through SOAP UI request XML. ex:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:me="http://sap.com/xi/ME" xmlns:gdt="http://sap.com/xi/SAPGlobal/GDT">

   <soapenv:Header/>

   <soapenv:Body>

     <ParametricRequest_sync xmlns="http://sap.com/xi/ME">

  <ParametricRequest>

  <SiteRef>

  <Site>SITE1</Site>

  </SiteRef>

  <me:SfcRef>

  <me:Sfc>SFC1</me:Sfc>

  </me:SfcRef>

   <DcGroupRef>

  <DcGroup>ABC</DcGroup>

  <Revision>A</Revision>

  </DcGroupRef>

  <ParametricMeasure>

  <MeasureGroup>ABC</MeasureGroup>

  <MeasureName>PARAM1</MeasureName>

  <Actual>1</Actual>

    </ParametricMeasure>

  <ResourceRef>

  <Resource>RESOURCE1</Resource>

  </ResourceRef>

  <me:OperationRef>

                <me:Operation>OPERATION1</me:Operation>

                <me:Revision>A</me:Revision>

        </me:OperationRef>

  </ParametricRequest>

  </ParametricRequest_sync>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

hope this helps.
