Covert RFC Architecture into SOAP

[former_member185558]

Hello Gurus,

I have architectural question,

We have JCo client side in our Non SAP system which makes RFC calls to S4HANA onpremise,

I understand pros and cons of RFC Vs Webservice,

(RFCs easy to use, fast / Webservice better standards etc)

Whats is easiest way to covert above into SOAP based webservice,

should we replace JCo with JEE webserver and on ABAP side expose RFCs as webservice?

are there better alternatives? would it be beneficial?

Regards,

Niketan

Hi NIketan

Please refer below links for a step by step detail of what you can do to convert RFC calls into Web service

Benefits depends on what are you trying to achieve you could make it more secure using certificate based authentication check the options available in SOA manager and you can play around

End result however might be the same so you want to think on why you would want to switch
