Differences between webservice and proxy

[Former Member]

Hi guys.

Which are the differences between webservices and proxys?

If I have a XI adapter (proxy) or Soap Adapter in Pi in both a Proxy Abap is created in SEECC to consume the service so I cant see the differences...

Dear Christian,

Please read the below wiki:

Traditionally, Soap adapters were used for Webservice related communications only. You cannot use XI adapter for calling webservices. XI adapter is only used for Proxy communication.

With PI 7.11, soap adapter is enhanced to include XI 3.0 protocol which made it possible to communicate using proxies. This was added to enable proxy communication using AAE.

Hi... Im not absolutely sure.... jejej

If I wanted to consume a webservice exposed in Pi by a Sender SOAP Sender, what would I have to do?

Nothing exceptional.....just define a message structure in PI....create a message interface....generate a WSDL for this Message Interface.....use the URL from this WSDL to send message.....it is a normal SOAP --> XI scenario.....many references are readily available on How to do this.

I think you haven't read what I mentioned. You should use soap adapter with ECC only with PI 7.11 to enable Abap proxy communication over AAE.

Then the [ABAP General|; forum would be appropriate to ask the question.
