expose a FunctionModule as an http url

Former Member — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 11:56:36 GMT

Hi,

We have a function module e.g. Z_PROCESS_ORDERS, it does not have any import parameters, and there are no export parameters.

the FM basically performs some action in SAP. e.g inserting current datetime stamp in a ztable.

is it possible to invoke this FM over the internet url.

I am not speaking about webservice.

if anyone clicks or opens this url in Internet explorer, the FM should be invoked in sap.

i searched on sdn, and found that webservice is an option, but to invoke it we need a webservice client or consumer proxy.

but my end user doesnot have that, and he wants just a IE link (http link) to invoke this function.

is it possible,

any inputs appriciated.

thanks in advance,

Hi,

Try to simply create an ICF service that would call the required FM.

Best regards,
