web service config

[former_member223118]

Dear All,

I need to call an external Web service from SAP, with some data and then receive back some data from this call. system = ECC6

I have just started into this new stuff and am not sure of the major steps involved.

-Do I need to create a proxy from se80 using a predfined WSDL from the external system??

-Can i then make the call to the service from withing standard ABAP or do i need some other development suite to make the connection

Many Thanks

Tony

Yes. But you may need to make adjustments, since some WSDL's contain sections that older versions of SAP can't handle.

Yes, you just use the generated proxy classes.
