Function module that uploads XML to SAP

Former Member — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 09:19:49 GMT

Hi guys,

I have implemented a FM that uploads a *.xml file to an internal table.

If i execute it in SAP it works, but i would like to call that FM outside SAP via web service.

I have created and published a web service that calls this FM and i'm tryiing to execute it via soap UI and it's not working.

I have debugged the FM when it's called from soapui and i can see that the exception is being trhowed in the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload.

Any idea?

Thanks

Jon

Hi Jon,

In webservices GUI_UPLOAD will not work, since it is a GUI function module or method. Alterantively you can upload XML file as a string data into application server, there after u can upload the data into desired place by scheduling Event trigger job.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

GUI_UPLOAD will not work in the background. So you need to put the fie in the application server and try with the OPEN DATASET.
