Hi Ricardo,

take a look in the package SOAP. There is a BSP application "WebServiceBrowser" search your RFC in the search from. You get a link for for documentaion "?" and a link for the "wsdl". This wsdl link you must provide the consumer of the service.

You should create a technical user with password for the consumer of the service.

Hello Ricardo,

please call the BSP Applicatioon in the Webbrowser and search for your FM. Than you will see what I mean with "?". The question mark will shown behind each list entry also the "WSDL" link. If it's not possible to call the BSP Application in the Browser, you must activte the full path in the transaction SICF for the SAOP Service and to the Webservicebrowser. The SOP Service has normaly the path "/default_host/sap/bc/SOAP" you should all services below activate and the webbrowser you will find "/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/webservicebrowser" (see SAP Note 1038797). The user you can create with SU01. You shouldn't customize the webservice calling without user and password. If you customize this, than all function modules which are released as a webservice can call without authorisation. Until WAS 6.20 all function modules are released as webservice. Because you can so call each BAPI as a webservice without authorisation. You must avoid this. In higher releases it should be possible to release only selected Function Modules but we are on WAS 6.20. The authorisations for the Webservices and all other function of the Webfunctions of the application server can customized with transaction SICF. But be carefull. If you not sure take the SAP Help for further information or vist a SAP course.

Dirk
