JDBC to Web service

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a scenario to integrate JDBC to an SAP CRM webservice. This is a standard SAP provided web service. Is it best practice to go with SOAP receiver and import the WSDL or to use the proxy methodology? In a standard SAP web service call how would the WSDL be provided ?

Dear Teresa,

You can directly call the standard service from PI using XI protocol. Please import the required SAP standard CRM content into ESR and you can go ahead with mapping and configuration.

Hi,

So if I could get my CRM content into my ESR, then is it a simple call to the SAP system using the XI adapter? or do we still need to use the SOAP receiver ? We just PI 7.1 installed, so I am trying to understand the whole new set up...:)

Hi,

This feature is not new, it is there since XI 3.0.

You dont need SOAP receiver adapter in this case. Once you import the CRM content into ESR as software components, you will have all service interfaces available for mapping.

Please reply in case you face difficulty.

Hi Teresa,

---> Definately using standards will help keeping in mind the future upgrades .

.

or to use the proxy methodology?

---> Proxy methodology will give you more flexibility but keeping future in mind WSDL will be the right approach also there lots of work in migrating PI 7.0 proxie based interfaces to PI 7.1 .

In a standard SAP web service call how would the WSDL be provided ?

--> Didn't get you !!!...since you are sending data from jdbc to SAP ...you don't need to provide the wsdl to client .even in that case u you can go to WSnavigator and get the web service(wsdl).
