[fatihpense]

Hi SCN!

This is both a tutorial for creating a SICF service with source code and also the documentation for zMIMESync service class. Check the open source project if you are a BSP developer.

Go to transaction se24 or go to your development package to create class.
se24:


Inside package:


Create a class like this:


Any SICF service class should implement the interface "IF_HTTP_EXTENSION" with method "handle_request". There is two ways to achive this, write code in source code-based view or add IF_HTTP_EXTENSION to class interfaces in form-based view.



There is source code available here: https://github.com/fatihpense/zmimesync_service

Copy the contents of the class to your new class. Then activate your class.

Now we have to create a service in SICF and point the service to our class for handling requests.

Go to transaction sicf and execute:


Create new sub-element under /sap/bc


Name your service:


You should enter a description:


Now the linking part! Go to the handlers tab and add your class:


Last step is to activate the service:


You can get the link of the service by clicking "Test Service".

Thanks for reading.
