Web service consumption

Hi Experts I have created a Web service in SAP abap and I want to use the web service outside SAP platform by using SOP.xml.

You need a SOAP capable client for this.

After you defined your web service in SE80 you need to configure it in transaction SOAMANAGER. You can refer  to the below link:

Once you have a working endpoint, a so-called binding, you need to send a valid SOAP request over HTTP POST to this endpoint, the binding or service URL. You can find this service URL at the bottom of the WSDL file in the tag <soap address..>

The WSDL file is an XML schema that describes the web service. The below link shows how to locate the WSDL in SOAMANAGER:

Note the difference between the WSDL URL and the service URL

WSDL URL - the location of the WSDL file that describes the service

service URL - the endpoint of the actual service
