Web Service for the Function Modules

Former Member — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 15:03:26 GMT

Hi Experts,

Instead of going thru Utilities -> More Ultilities -> Create Web Service -> From the FM/FG. Can we create a Service definition in SE37 for a remote-enabled FM manually? I mean without going thru the wizard steps. Please Advice.

Thanks.

As on ECC 6 (ABAP 700), looks like you can only create Inside Out WS definition using Wizard. Check this [WS Creation |http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NW04s/helpdata/EN/0d/2eac5a56d7e345853fe9c935954ff1/frameset.htm] Help which only mentions Wizard usage, no manual.

In ECC 5.0 you can create WS definition without using the Wizard by Creating the Virtual Interface and WS Definition. Check this on SAP help in how to [Create WS definition manually|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/37/12dd95a22831469a2363d98b19506b/frameset.htm]

Hi Naimesh,

Thanks for the reply.

In a worst case scenario, if my wizard doesn't work properly for some problem/reason say X. Then, Is there any other way to create the WS definition without going thru the wizard? Or do I need to wait till my reason/problem X gets resolved?

Can we write a executable report on what the wizard does at background? So that after creating my FM, if I run this report the WS definition should be created automatically? Have you or someone else came across this situation?

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks.
