Ariba Integration base64 encoding

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to do integration between SAP ERP and Ariba. We are using SOAP webservices, but part of the contents is a zip file with csv files inside.

For this, we need to do a base64 encoding. We are having problems and we get the message: "SOAP:1027 SRT: Serialization / Deserialization failed"

The field Contents created in Event Proxy creation, based in the WSDL from Ariba is a RAWSTRING but the Ariba expects a base64 field so when I send a RAWSTRING I receive the error.

Thanks.

Regards,

The generation of SOAP messages relies on "ASXML Transformations", so a RAWSTRING (XSTRING) is converted implicitly in base64. Cf ABAP documentation.
