SAP WebAS Supportability - cannot run Web Service

[former_member194366]

Hi Experts,

I found in the supported platform document, boe_xi_30_supported_platforms_windows.pdf.

It states that SAP Web Application Server 7 ... Not supported for Web Services.

Does this mean we cannot use Xcelius with Query as a web service on the top of SAP BW ?

Thanks and regards,

Hi Manabu,

In the company I'm working for, we want to implement this solution (Business Object <-> SAP and Xcelsius with QAAWS in order to extract data from SAP Queries).

To do so, we got advises from SAP consultants. Apparently, there is a way to customise the WaS server with a special SDK, in order that it supports Web Services.

But the consultants did not recommand this solution (I didn't know why). The way we choosed is to use a Tomcat for the Web Services and a WaS for the rest of all the applications (You just have to interface the two server and to separate the tasks).

I can't tell you the result we've got, because we will try it next month...

Hope it helps...

Hi Meryll,

Thank you for your reply.

In case you use Tomcat, there's no problem.

XI3.1 doesn't support SAP WebAS web service.

In your scenario, please notice the note 1233419 and 1306694.

We decided to use LiveOffice and Crystal Reports behind Xcelisius.

Because, we cannot get the cross table results via QaaWS.

With Crystal Reports, we can leveraged the instance for performance.

With LiveOffice, we can use multiple connection to Crystal Reports.

<-- Xcleilius can use only 1 CR connection.

Thanks,

Manabu
