RFC works but web service for that RFC does not work..weird??

[Former Member]

hi all,

I created an RFC enabled function module to create a Sales Order in SAP CRM for both for Varinat Configurable and Normal Materials.

The RFC Works well...if i test it..it creates an order and if i go and check the sales order in CRM GUI. i find that sales order is perfect with the configuration data for the configurable items..

Now i created a Web service for this RFC by calling the Web service creation wizard.

Now i am testing the Web service in SOAMANGER T-code and the sales order is created and weird thing the configuration data is missing for Varinat configurable item..

But i dont encounter this problem if i am testing the RFC directly

What could be wrong...why is my web service behaving weird?

I am dying to find this out..did any body enocounter this situation befor ..please help

Sure Oliver..

I put a break point using external debugger and when i was testing the Web service in SOAMANAGER..

i could then land into ABAP debugger.

There in my RFC i put a logic such that i diffenetiate between VC and Non-VC items and fill the Charateristic Values only if it is aVC item.

I saw that the IF condition was not executing as they suddenly changed the material structure in ECC and it reflected in CRM.

SO i am inputting 18 digits of material no like '000000000000000001' for '1'...but the if condition was checking against 1 =1 so that loop never executed and chara values are not getting filled.

But if i test RFC in se37 ..it works as i am inputting 1...

Since Web service works with XML (WSDL) need to be very careful with the format in which data is inputted and the format in which the logic we wrote in RFC works.

Once again ..thanks to all people who helped me with the answers...

Hi,

I agree that your problem is weird. I have never experimented it.

That said, I would investigate with the web service configuration in SE80 on the configuration tab.

I would try to see the effect of the "Commit Handling" of the Operation profile or the "Transaction Handling" of the Operation profile.

Good luck !

Hi again,

I don't know which settings you may need but your problem made me think that a commit might be missing when using the module function as a web service.

So experiment with different settings and see if you get some effect....
