How to consume SAP Web Services in PI

[Former Member]

We are looking for a way to consume standard SAP services in PI. Here is an example of a service: http://es-workplace.sap.com/socoview(bD1lbiZjPTAwMSZkPW1pbg==)/render.asp?packageid=E42EA5C4BC46A3F1...

(you may need to copy and paste the URL as the link gets encoded and becomes invalid).

SAP provides the definition and we can create an interface in PI, but beyond that we do not know how to trigger the service or send a request to it. Does there need to be an ABAP implementation that uses the proxy, based on the interface that exists in PI? Or can it actually be called and consumed without any ABAP work needed?

Enterprise services delivered by SAP have backend logic implemented. You don't need to create the interface in PI as well.

For this service, you will need to import the software component EA-HR 605 in ESR and ensure the corresponding packages are enabled in SAP system. You can test the enterprise service in the backend system under the mentioned software component using sproxy transaction.

You will need to ensure that the service provides all the functionality that is required for your project or would you need to do any enhancements to it.
