How to configure SOAP Adapter.

[Former Member]

Hi,

My Integration sienario goes like this it involves two systems one APM it is a purely .NET Application involves Webservises. Another SAPR/3 System (RFC'S Related to Plant Maintenance) in middle there is SAP XI System. APM system calls SAPR/3 Via SAP XI And SAPR/3 returns Plant Maintenance Order.like this the process goes.

Here Sender side(APM side) they ar planning to use SOAP B'cause it involves Webservises. on receiver end(SAPR/3 side) BAPI'S B'cause they need Synchronous communication. this is first time i am working on SOAP Adapter Any body tell me how to start with . thanks in advance.

With Cheer's

Hi Kiran,

I think Bhavesh has given a very good answer and I would like to give a complement to his answer. In XI Inbound channel, it's Soap sender adapter your should use to expose your interface as web service which could be invoked by your .net application.

Kiran,

This is a srandard requirement.

Expose your Outbound Message Interface as a webservice in XI and provide this WSDL to your APM System.

The APM system will used the WSDL to invoke the call to XI and XI will map this to the RFC and get the response back and send it back to the R3 system.

To expose a Message interface in XI as a webservice take a look at section 3.2.2 of this how to guide,

Kiran look into this

As per my knowledge any RFC - enabled function can be exposed as a webservice which can be consumed by any application written in any language directly..

an XI message interface can also be exposed as a Webservice.

RFC is function-oriented webservice.

XI interface is integration webservice
