Call (SOAP) Webservice in iRPA

[Jana_dK]

Hi all !

We're having some troubles creating the correct payload for a soap api call.
Whilst creating an SOAP Envelope, it needs a message ID to be added to the soap envelope header.

We tried several things to add a message ID, even hardcoded.. But whatever we try, we always get this result.

Does someone has the solution to send a SOAP call in the iRPA Cloud Factory with a MessageID?

This is our payload, one of many that did not work 😉

var XMLBody= "<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' xmlns:edi='http://sap.com/xi/EDI'>"+
    "<soapenv:Header/>" +
    "<soapenv:Body>" +
        "<edi:OrderConfRequest>" +
            "<MessageHeader>" +
                "<CreationDateTime>2022-09-21T18:40:00.001Z</CreationDateTime>" + 
            "</MessageHeader>" +
            "<OrderConfirmation>" +
                .............
            "</OrderConfirmation>" +
        "</edi:OrderConfRequest>" +
    "</soapenv:Body>" +
"</soapenv:Envelope>";

var payload = {
    'resolveBodyOnly' : true,
    'method': 'POST',
    'contentType': "text/xml",
    'responseType':'json', // parse the response to get a JSON object
    'url': URL,
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': "text/xml",
        'Accept': '*/*'
    },
    'body': XMLBody
};
return payload;

Hello Jana,

From the Web Services Best Practices sample, you can see that the Content-Type of the header should be set to irpa_core.enums.request.content.xmlText. Then I would try the following code:

var payload = {
    'resolveBodyOnly' : true,
    'method': 'POST',
    'contentType': "text/xml",
    'responseType':'json', // parse the response to get a JSON object
    'url': URL,
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': irpa_core.enums.request.content.xmlText,
        'Accept': '*/*'
    },
    'body': XMLBody
};
return payload;

And I would remove the responseType: json.

Let me know if it helps.

Thanks a lot and best regards,

Baptiste

Hi Baptiste,

I am the colleague of Jana.
I tested your suggestion and unfortunately, it didn't pass through.

Response error:

<soap-env:Envelope xmlns:soap-env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap-env:Header/>
<soap-env:Body>
<soap-env:Fault>
<faultcode>soap-env:Server</faultcode>
<faultstring xml:lang="en">
Web service processing error; more details in the web service error log on provider side (UTC timestamp 20220923094107; Transaction ID 8E6DA01BF72B0200E00632C6A72A51D6) The error log can be accessed by service provider from SAP backend
</faultstring>
<detail/>
</soap-env:Fault>
</soap-env:Body>
</soap-env:Envelope>

Error in monitoring:

In my opinion we need a unique message ID placed in the header, something like:

<soapenv:Header>
<wsa:messageId>uniqueMessageUUID</wsa:messageId>
</soapenv:Header>

Only, is this possible in IRPA?

Hi, yes it is. I guess here the payload is not well formated. Is it working in Postman ?

[Jana_dK]

Hi baptiste_sa_sap ,

In postman it is working when using the postman variable "<wsa:messageId>urn:uuid:{{$randomUUID}}</wsa:messageId>"

This way, postman generates us a randomUUID which is needed. The rest of the body payload is identically the same. The only issue we have, is generating a random UUID as messsage ID. We are looking for a way to generate this Message ID in iRPA.

Hi @former_member17397, Your suggestion on the "headers" is working perfectly for my SoapWebservices. The posting happens perfectly now. Thanks for your suggestion!
