Receive XML data over HTTPs and send response

1177 Views Last edit Dec 28, 2016 at 07:55 PM 2 rev

Hi there,

I have a requirement to receive XML data from an external system over HTTPs into ECC, to create sales orders. A success/fail/error response should then be sent back.

We do not have XI/PI module in place, and SOAP/WSDL approach is not an option.

There seems to be some other options for data exchange, such as SAP Business Connector, ICF, BSP with XML, SAP Gateway etc.

I’m trying to determine the most appropriate – can anyone give some advice please on what would be a good, relatively lightweight approach, that incorporates some error logging, monitoring options?

If taking the ICF approach, that would basically mean writing a HTTP handler to receive the XML? Is it possible for the external source to PUSH XML to the url that is generated in ICF?

Any major points to watch out for, or concerns with such approaches?

Thanks in advance,

David
