RFC webservice in SAP API management (SCP)

[arvish_k]

Hi Gurus,

Is it possible to create an API in SAP cloud platform (API management) consuming a RFC webservice from the backend?

I have activated the API management services in my cloud account. Request you to help me with this query.

Thanks,

Arvish

Hi Arvish

You can call any REST or SOAP service on your backend system (through Cloud Connector if it's on-premise). You cannot call an RFC directly; it would have to be exposed as a service by e.g. SAP Gateway.

Dear Morten,

Thank you very much your reply.

Ok I have understood that we cannot directly call RFCs. Now I have generated a Webservice Via SOAMANAGER on top of this RFC. This uses SOAP protocol. Is it possible to consume/use this webservice and create API in SAP cloud platform's API Management services. If so, can you please guide me through the steps?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Arvish.

Hi arvish.k

Yes, that is very much possible. I would suggest that you work your way through this blog series about API Management by shilpa.vij, and/or go through this tutorial group.

Morten
