SOAP Request for calling a non SAP Proxy Consumer including Authentication

Hello everyone,

I am trying to consume a Web Service from BMC Remedy (non-SAP System) in SAP Solution Manager. I have generated the required ABAP Proxy Class from the WSDL file, created a logical port along with the authentification details using SOAMANAGER and instantiated the proxy class in an ABAP Program along with the request parameters to call the service. I keep getting the error message:- SoapFaultCode: 1.

Hence; I tried calling the service using the external open Source Program: SOAPUI 3.0.1. Here I saw that the SOAP Request includes a SOAP Header, whether the authentification details are embedded. After I added these details in the Request in SOAPUI, I could test the service successfully.

Now, I went back to the SAP system and saw that the Proxy Runtime generated only the ABAP types for the SOAP Body but no parameters were created for the SOAP Header. I found in SDN that the interface for adding SOAP Header is 'if_wsprotocol_ws_header'. Unfortunately, I did not find any documentation for it. So I just tried similar to the coding example of Thomas Jung but now I get XML parsing errors.

Can someone give me a working coding example or tutorial to solve this SOAP Header Problem? I am not sure if I am calling the following method correctly?

• CALL METHOD lo_ws_header->if_wsprotocol_ws_header~set_request_header( name = name namespace =

• namespace dom = xml_element ).

I would be really thankful if someone out there can help me to solve this problem.

PS: Following is the SOAP Request from SOAP UI that I need to build in the SAP System:-

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:THD_Global_Interface_Ticket_V3">

<soapenv:Header>

<urn:AuthenticationInfo>

<urn:userName>?</urn:userName>

<urn:password>?</urn:password>

<! Optional: >

<urn:authentication>?</urn:authentication>

<! Optional: >

<urn:locale>?</urn:locale>

<! Optional: >

<urn:timeZone>?</urn:timeZone>

</urn:AuthenticationInfo>

</soapenv:Header>

<soapenv:Body>

<urn:OpCreate>

<urn:GI_WS_Action_LogDelta>?</urn:GI_WS_Action_LogDelta>

.....................

<urn:GI_TransferType>Create</urn:GI_TransferType>

<urn:GI_Direction>Incoming</urn:GI_Direction>

</urn:OpCreate>

</soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

Problem solved with the correct implementation of CALL METHOD lo_ws_header->if_wsprotocol_ws_header~set_request_header( name = name namespace =

• namespace dom = xml_element ).
