We will focus on one communication type which is web service.
Here is my experience in achieving web service communication.
- Create ABAP Proxy. In order for ABAP Stack to consume web service, you will need to generate proxy in ABAP stack. Please go to transaction code se80. As per screen shot, please right click on the Enterprise Service -> choose create
- Create Logical Port. Please go to transaction SOAMANAGER. Please follow the screen shot below to create logical port. Please do Ping Web Service after that to see whether web service can be called.
- Test your web service consumer. Go back to transaction code se80. Please open your service consumer. Press Execute as per screen shot below:
- Consume in ABAP Function Module. Please see coding below:
FUNCTION zkrb_test02.
