Best way to Invoke a Webservice in Workflow?

[Former Member]

Hello,

I need to invoke a Webservice in a business workflow. i've already created an Consumer Proxy, but now is my question:

What is the best way to invoke it from Business workflow?

I've read the sap help http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/19/d5623c046a9b67e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm about using bsp, but i don't understand the procedure.

I would be glad, if somebody could explain me a walkthrought or tell me another way to direktly invoke the consumer proxy.

Hi,

What are to trying to achieve with your web service? Is it something that can be executed in background? If yes, then you can just develop your own custom background step/task, which will execute an ABAP class method. And in the method you can easily call the web service with just pure ABAP - no need for any BSP stuff.
