Regd. Use of SOAMANAGER in PI 7.1

[Former Member]

Hi Experts!

Could anyone let me know the use of soamanager in PI 7.1, like how to add servies , how to create endpoints and post the requests. Anything which can help me understand how to work on soamanager.

I have a standard inbound syncrounous service interfrce.(say its there in sap basis componet or XI content imported from Marketplace)

I want to see this service interface under services in the SOAMANAGER Tcode in PI. what are the steps to be performend for this?

How to create a end to end scenario using SOA based appraoch.

Thanks a lot for the replies and the useful links.

i have a service interface in ESR and in SAP SPROXY we have the proxy created for this.

Now the problem is when i login to SOAMANAGER in PI , i should be able to search the service which i created. and associate endpoints if its not there.

But in the search i am not able to see my services could see some which are there in the sap basis SWCV in ESR.No clue why the services in my SWCV is not listing.

Do we need to configure anything, may be a basis teams work , but i have to do it now ,Any pointers on how to display services on soamanager would be appreciated.

No, you normally do not need to configure anything as SOAMANAGER comes as a standard BSP page that checks all the proxies in your system so it should work for you too out of the box.

Make sure you have also activated your proxies, and you are selecting the correct proxy type (client/service) in SOAMANAGER, and search the forum or SAP notes if you think you are doing everything correctly to see if there are any relevant bugs.

Proxies are activated, i have imported the standart XI content ESA ECC SA from market place as it is having the industry specify defined technical objects .. and when we import this in ESR the proxies gets automatically created in ECC..yes this happens :).

But the problem is .. in soamanager i am not able to see the services ,,even though ,in sproxy i can see the active service interface.It should come in the search results .. i tried to all possible search combinations.

If anyone has worked on this kind of scenarios .. please let me know.

Thanks

Hi Srinivas,

It looks like you are trying to run the proxy on PI system. To use Proxy the Role of System should be Application System while in case of PI system the Role is "Integration System" so you can never run this proxy on PI system.

As you are doing the scenario with standard proxy, look into the application system which is connected to your PI syatem. There (in Application system R/3) in transaction SPROXY you would be able to see the proxy. Now open the transaction SOAMANGER (in application system) go to Web Service adminstration and serach for your Proxy. Oncle you find that select it and click on "Apply Selection" there after you will see the option for creating the Service Name. Along with creating End Point there.

After doing all these you will be able to see the WSDL for your created WebService (proxy exposed as a Web service). Now to test it you have to give the Ip address and Pord with credential of PI server in the Admion setting of application server. Once you click to test that service it will take you to test page of Web Service Navigater of PI and you can test it there.

Hi Experts,

 go to Web Service adminstration and serach for your Proxy. Oncle you find that select it 

when is go to soamanaged and search for the service (proxies careated and activated) which i created in my sap system , i am not able to see my services.

I have few more querries:

1. In PI , SPROXY, i can see some default services (under SAP_BASIS ) for which proxies are generated.I can see them in soamangaer of PI. But the proxies in my sap system are not at all show when i browse in somanager.

2. SPROXY, in sap has active proxy, when i go to there soamanage, i dont have any options to search service.

So please let me know if we have to develop proxies in PI SPROXY or SAP SPROXY.

Do we need to use PI soamanger or SAP soamanager?

Any poiter will be surely rewarded

Please let me know know if any setting are missing.

Srinivas,

You have to use SAP R\3 SOAMANAGER...

Just make sure you have exposed the proxy as a Webservice.

You might not have given the proper selection criteria for Searching your proxy in SOAMANGER.

select the selection criteria as a both and proceed.

Thanks,
