(e)SOA minimal Requirements for consuming Services

59 Views

Hello everyone,

as mentioned in an previos thread I'm currently writing my diploma about "Enterprise SOA Bundles in SAP". In order of this I also need to write a Consumer-Application in Java which consumes services of the Bundle "Quote to Order for configurable products". The communication needs to been done over the IPC (Application <-> IPC <-> Services). I must NOT create new services. Now I'm sitting in my company and have the job to find out what is needed to realize this.

What I know:

- I need the Enhancement Package 3

- Because of this I need SAP Sollution Manager (at least version 4.0 with the highest Support Package Level

in the system environment (SAP_BASIS SP13 & ST SP14))

- Newest SPAM/SAINT-Upgrades

What i think to know:

- I need a provider- and a consumerside. The services which are meant to be consumed are stored in an ESR on

the providerside. For the ESR i need an XI (PI) or an CE with ESR installed

What I don't know:

- What exactly do I need on the consumerside?

- What kind of SAP System do I need for the providerside? Is only ERP 2005 suitable? Or does an

corresponding IDES, CRM etc. system also suite the requirements?

- Do I need any aditional components/upgrades I haven't mentioned?

- Do I really need the ESR for my mentioned purposes? Clearly: Do I really need the CE or PI?

- Are there any aditional points to be mentioned for installing the Enhancement Pack 3?

I would be very happy to get answers soon. In fact i need to hold a presentation on friday about my needs and what has to be done to get a proper system environmant for my diploma. Because of this eventually hardware has to be bought which costs money. And I really don't want to be the reason for buying expensive money which isn't really needed.

Greetings, Marco

P.S. I would also be happy if you could give me URLs of proper sources to answers for my questions. I don't really find the things I ask for in the "information jungle".
