expose a FunctionModule as an http url

[Former Member]

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.

I am talking about a plain http url. something like: http://sapserver:xxxx/blahblah/Z_PROCESS_ORDERS/xyz/something

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.
