Get the XML/SOAP request created by an ABAP Web Service ConsumerProxy Class

[Former Member]

Hi,

In order to debug calls made to an external web service I'd like to find a way to get the request (XML data) that is being sent to the ws. I've created an ABAP web service consumer, by creating a ProxyClass from the web service WSDL via SE80.

Is there a way to get back the XML data that is being sent when the execute method of the proxy class instance is called?

Thank you,

Pietro

Hi ,

Use transaction SRT_UTIL for monitoring of webservices.

It can monitored by user id Or by Path.

Thanks

Hi Jitendra,

I've launched the SRTUTIL transaction but I'm only able to see the function modules that are called.

The only other thing that I've got is a Message ID. Is there a transaction to get the message given its ID?

Thank you,

Pietro

Hi Pietro,

just double click on that message id.

u will see there are 4 lines

1. first shows request passed to interface.

2. second shows the req passed to FM.

3. third shows response passed by FM.

4. fourth shows response passed by interface.

If u want to see the XML data just select 1 Or 4 then click on button " Original XML ".

Thanks

Hi Jitendra,

thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately I can't follow your instructions because double clicking on the Message ID does not show anything.

When I launch SRTUTIL I get a screen divided in two: on the left there is a tree of users and on the right there is the details panel.

I've added the user that I want to monitor and checked "Monitor performance" (don't know if this is the correct english name, I'm seeing a translated interface). On the "Performance data" tab (the second tab) I have a table showing the columns "Component", "Action", "Date", "Time", "Expiration date" and "Status".

If I double click on one row, the details table is displayed:

This is where I'm stuck. Getting the details of one row does not get me the XML nor it displays an "Original XML" button.

Maybe I have a different version of yours.

Thank you.

Hi,

I've made further investigations and it seems that XML messages are not monitored on my system.

Do you know how to activate/enable XML message monitoring?

Thank you,

Pietro

Hi Pietro,

First , pls use Tcode SRT_UTIL.

On the left tree click on "Add user" and enter user name.

Now in right side click on "configuration" tab and made the "Payload Trace" active .

now click on "Save Configuration" button , below on screen.

Now Run ur webservice. Click on "Payload Trace" Tab and u will see all the calls. Now double click on any of these and

follow steps of my earlier reply.

Thanks
