Use Enterprise Services without service registry?

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

this question is following me since days: is it possible to use enterprise services from an erp-system without a service registry?

From my understanding the service registry at runtime determines the endpoint where the service is implemented. But when there is just a single erp-system is it then possible to use this services without any additional systems?

Thanks for any answer.

Yes you can.

The service registry is just a "phone book" of services. as much as phone numbers exist well without the phone book services exist without a registry.

actually, if you really ever have only one source system for enterprise (or other) services you don't need the service registry. even if you have 3 source systems and you know how to find an overview of the services in each of those 3 systems and if you don't use a 'global' data model you do not really need the service registry.

but this is just my 2 cents. 'publishing' seems to be a common source of joy these days

Thanks for your quick reply. I was already guessing that this should be possible.
