XML File to 3rd Party Provider w/o any Middleware

[Former Member]

Hi

I have a requirement wherein we are required to send XML files to 3rd Party Supply chain provided w/o using any middleware in most secured form. The Customer is on ECC5.

One of options i could think about is as mentioned below.

- file based and using SFTP to send the XML file to 3rd Party provider

Could you please let me know if their's any other alternate approach to meet this strange requirement.

PS : 3rd party provider can provide webservice. But the question is how do we consume this into ABAP envirnoment and call them into ABAP COde. Any pointers on this as well would be really helpful

Thanks

Hi,

I think ABAP proxy is not available in ECC 5 (basis 6.40). For info, in basis 7.0 (ECC 6), you can generate an ABAP proxy (SE80, other tools...) to consume the web service. It is generated using for example the WSDL provided by your 3rd party provider.

Anyhow, web service is simply an XML transmitted via HTTP/HTTPS, maybe your client will accept that you code everything from scratch (CL_HTTP_CLIENT, XSLT/ST transformations, ...)

Hi,

I remember working on ECC5.0 and consuming a web service to create an ABAP Proxy.

@ Ravi

Refer the below link for consuming a web service and creating an ABAP proxy.
