ABAP Web Services on R/3 4.7

[Former Member]

Hi Guru.

I want to create a Web Services on SAP R/3 version 4.7 in this way:

1) I create a fnction module as Remote-enabled module

2) Next I want create a Web Services using this remote function call.

But in my sap it's not possible.

Can I realize it?

Hi,

It's perfectly possible to use abap web services in R/3 4.7.

Compared to WAS 6.40 and Netweaver 7.0, it has some limitations but it works flawlessly.

I have a production R/3 4.7 server answering 400 000 web service calls per month.

The clients are using .NET or J2EE technology.

Once your function module is written, you just need to activate /sap/bc/soap/rfc and

/sap/bc/soap/wsdl11 in transaction SICF.

As it validates all RFC enabled function modules to be called as web services, be careful to use an abap user who has only the rights to execute the wanted function.

Hi Olivier.

In what sense I use a unique sap user to active the function?

My remote function must be called from an external ( not SAP ) system via WEB!

Hi again Angela,

>In what sense I use a unique sap user to active the function?

Usually you will define an abap user to execute your web service.

This user and its password will be defined in the external system calling the web services.

In my system we chose to use a different user for each combination of function module and external calling system.

We are so able to see the system charge generated by each externel system and for each web service.
