BAPI as WebService

Former Member — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 12:55:43 GMT

I want to enable standard BAPI as WebService.

I just want to be sure that I do everything what is required.

In transaction BAPI I find BAPI name, then I go to transaction SE37 and from this transaction I call WebService Wizard.

This what is confusing for me is that, wizard choose default that this BAPI funcion is RFC function not a BAPI (I cant change this).

So is this behaviour normal, or I shoul enable BAPI as WS in another way?

Hi,

You are basically exposing a Remote enabled function module as a web service. As you would know, the underlying implementation of a BAPI is nothing but a remote enabled function module, what you are doing is absolutely right.

HI,

From ECC 6.0 All standard BAPIs has been exposed as webservices.

U will get all the webservices in the webservice repository.

But for custom BAPIs u have to explicitly release the webservice .

If u need all the steps how to create webservice,then let me know,i will guide u.

Thx guy

@Manas Panda. I have ECC 6.0 and what now I'm curious that BAPI:

BAPI_SITELAYMOD_GETITEMS2 (for Managing Lyaout) is a standard BAPI. I'm asking because I can't find it in tree which shows avaibled WS (at positions: slmServices, slmSolManServices).

Regards. Tomek

PS. How can I enable my WS in this tree?
