webMethods file to upload

[Former Member]

Hi XI experts,

We are in the middle of doing webMethods-XI-R/3 integration.

To be able create the interface in XI for webMethods, do we need a wsdl or xsd file in "external definition" under the interface object?

Where do we get this file?

Thanks!

it could be anything wsdl or XSD.

how are you planning to invoke XI from webMethods? synchronously or async?

you can call using soap for sync or files for async

Hi,

It depends on how are you doing interaction between SAP XI and webmethods.

If its a file then you can use the XSD as SAP XI understands that

If you are using webservice then you can use WSDL

Hi Vijaya,

The file I need is for the definition of the interface object in the integration rep..

on the other hand I have IDoc imported from R/3, but for webMethods I need to have the file to be able to create the message interfaces.

Thanks!

Hi,

This depends on how you are interfacing with Webmthods as I asked previously. If you are just sending a file then you can create you own data type to create file in the required format.

If there is a XSD provided by webmethods you can use the same. SO it depends on how u are interacting with webmethods

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the answers!

We are planning to do 850 and 810 scenario: webMethods - XI - R/3.

On the R/3 site we have IDocs ORDERS.ORDERS05 and INVOIC.INVOIC02. We want to know if there is the wsdl or XSD file provided by webMethods so that we could use to define our interface?

Thanks!

SAP provides XSDs for these IDOCs..load them into both XI and webMethods

[Former Member]

Are you going to do the mappings EDI 850 <> ORDERS05, 810 <> INVOIC02 in XI or in webmethods/subsystem?

[Former Member]

thanks Archana.

Can you please let me know where can I get the XSDs in SAP?

Jason,

You better ask the webmethod guys to give the XSD without the qualifiers. Then you can import and do your work.

In one X12 820 Payment Advice from an XSD schema imported from Contivo the xsd itself is about 70MB with qualifiers. Without qualifiers it is around 223KB. So ask the webmethods guys to give xsd without the qualifiers.

Also check this document it may help you:
