CL_HTTP_CLIENT Multipart - XML as string and a seperate XML file

2024-12-09T13:33:51.169000+01:00

Hello Experts,

im currently implementing a Webservice. I have to transfer a XML string and a seperate XML file via POST request. I'm currently struggeling with the multipart handling for the XML string.

Does anybody have a working code example? I already tried adding multipart data with set_form_field and set_cdata for the XML string.

The HTTP Request should look like this:

POST /documents?template_name=library%2sample.template&document_name=ps_demo08&user_id=TechUser HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer {{bearer_token}}
Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: {{apiKey}}
User: Technical User 
Password: Technical Password
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---011000010111000001101001
Host: host.net
Content-Length: 308

-----011000010111000001101001
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="xml"

<?xml version="1.0" encodiing= "utf-8"?>

Email triggered by SOST adds a prefix to link

2024-12-26T21:33:21.281000+01:00

I'm sending and email by SOST which has a link to its body in this pattern:

|<a href='https://sample.site.com.br/ '> https://sample.site.com.br/</a> |

However, when I open this email message and click on this link by SOST or email box, it has a kind of SAP HTML Viewer prefix:

saphtmlp://htmlviewer.sap.com/mVBy5V6l7k{ltUSr8nfZYk/' https://sample.site.com.br/ '

Do you know where can I configure it in order to remove this HTML Viewer link?

Service Consumption Model for SuccessFactors Compound Employee API (SOAP) - Invalid SessionID

2024-12-27T20:17:56.287000+01:00

Hi Experts,

I am consuming SuccessFactors' Compound Employee API (SOAP) using the Service Consumption Model (Web Service) in ABAP Cloud. The methods (Login, Query, Logout, etc.) were generated from the SOAP WSDL file.

While the Login method successfully provides the SessionID in the response, I encounter an error, "Invalid SessionID", when calling the Query method.

In CPI, this is managed internally by the SuccessFactors adapter, and in SOAP UI, it is handled using the 'Maintain HTTP session' option. However, I am unsure how to implement similar behavior in ABAP Cloud to ensure the session is maintained across calls.

I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on handling the session effectively.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Best regards,
Mohit

SoapFault:faultstring=Error reading XMLStreamReader: Unexpected character

2025-01-20T19:45:27.689000+01:00

Hi Expert

I’m facing an issue while working on a SOAP web service call in my ABAP program, and I’m seeking your guidance.

Error Details:

During the execution of the web service, I encounter the following error:

Scenario:

Web Service Type: SOAP
Proxy Class: Used for calling the service in ABAP.
Payload: Sent from the ABAP program using a generated proxy class.

The error seems to suggest that the response or request payload contains invalid characters or is not properly formatted XML. This happens when sending the SOAP request to a CPI endpoint.

What I’ve Checked So Far:

Payload Structure:
- Ensured the payload has the correct SOAP envelope and namespace definitions.
- Verified all required fields are populated.
CPI Logs:
- Checked logs in SAP Integration Suite (CPI) and observed issues during payload processing.
Proxy Configuration:
- Verified endpoint, authentication, and proxy configurations in the ABAP program.
Request Validation:
- Used HTTP tools (Postman , soapUI) to send the same payload, and it worked as expected, pointing to an issue in the ABAP-generated payload.

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Bundle custom webservice messages

2025-01-22T14:31:43.862000+01:00

Dear all,

we have created a synchronous custom soa enterprise webservice as a consumer proxy in our SAP S/4HANA system. Using an ABAP Programme/Report we are mass selecting Business Partners and are sending them via an AIF interface and the custom soa enterprise webservice to a legacy sanctioned party list check application/system. We do not have any SAP PI middleware available between SAP S/4 and the legacy sanctioned party list check application/system. The legacy sanctioned party list check application/system checks the Business Partners and is returning a synchronous check result message to S/4. In S/4 the ABAP Programme/Report is processing the returned check result and is taking certain action on the Business Partner data depending on the check results. The message log is displayed in the ABAP Programme/Report. Also the AIF error monitor "/n/aif/err" can be used to monitor all send and received messages.

Currently we are facing the issue that when the ABAP Programme/Report is mass run always a very small number of BPs can not be processed over the webservice. The error message displayed in the AIF error monitor is "SOAP:1023 SRT: Processing error in Internet Commun ication Framework: ("Direct connect to ws-gateway- cert.b2x.vwg:443 failed: N)".

We currently believe this error is happening because we are sending all Business Partner messages one by one over the webservice interface and at some point the legacy sanctioned party list check application/system can not handle the load anymore.

As a solution we currently would like to bundle/package the Business Partner messages to impose less load on the target legacy sanctioned party list check application/system.

What is the best way to implement a message bundling/message packaging in our situation?

1. According to this SAP Community post "Solved: Sender Proxy to send multiple messages - SAP Community" we could bundle in our ABAP programme before the messages are passed to AIF and the webservice is called? Is this correct?

"This scenario can be handled at abap end.

Decide the number of records you want to send in one file. In abap when the number of records reached then call the abap proxy method. For the remaining records again call the abap proxy method so while going to XI it will pass only the number of records desired by you."

2. This article (Runtime Configuration Options in SAP AIF – INT4) is suggesting that the bundling/message packaging can be done in the SAP AIF runtime configuration? Is this correct?

3. Performing some more research we currently believe that we have to do the bundling on the custom consumer webservice side and not in AIF as the second alternative above is describing. Can anyone confirm that bundling on the webservice side can be achieved via the following steps on a high-level?

- Make sure that the custom webservice can handle multiple lines items/multiple operations/bundled requests from a data types/message types aggregated structure perspective

- Enhance the proxy to accept and process multiple messages in a single request, e.g. by:

o Enhance the method responsible for processing the request

o Insert custom logic to handle bundling

o Modify the request/response Logic

o Parse the input request

o Modify the proxy logic to handle multiple operations bundled in a single request

o Loop through each operation in the request and process them individually

o Aggregate the Response

o Combine individual responses into a single consolidated response structure

o Add error handling (e.g. examine if LUWs (Logical Units of Work) can be used to handle transactions. If any operation fails, rollback the entire process if necessary).

4. A possible solution approach still involving packaging in AIF could be to send multiple messages to AIF at once (packages) from the sanctioned party list mass check programme/report using an AIF runtime configuration group. Using a corresponding runtime configuration option in AIF, AIF would then process the packages. It has to be examined if the processed package could then automatically be passed on to the Webservice when the Webservice is called from AIF. If there is any custom coding implemented to call the Webservice from AIF, it has to be examined if this coding can pass the package from AIF to the Webservice. However, even with this approach we are currently not sure if we would still need to enhance the custom webservice to support message bundling as described in alternative 3. If yes, this alternative 4 would possible not add any particular value since the bundling bottleneck/need for bundling is rather on the webservice side and not in AIF itself. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks in advance.

graduation project : SAP Based Smart Job Tracking System Hello,

2025-02-23T17:54:32.715000+01:00

Hello,

The topic of my graduation project is to develop an SAP Based Smart Job Tracking System. In this project, I aim to optimise job tracking and management processes using the SAP ERP system. My goal is to create a system that allows users to plan and track their daily tasks and perform performance analysis via SAP GUI or a web/mobile interface.

Within the scope of the project, I plan to develop a solution that includes the following main functions:

SAP ABAP Based Job Tracking System: I plan to provide business logic and data management with SAP ABAP.
User Based Task Assignment and Tracking Module: It will be a module where tasks are assigned and tracked for users.
AI Supported Performance Analysis and Reporting: Performance predictions and analyses will be made using machine learning and data mining.
Web Interface: I will develop a user-friendly interface using SAP Fiori or an independent platform.
Database Integration (SAP HANA): I plan to use SAP's HANA system as a database.
Integration with Non-SAP Data with Web Services: Integration with non-SAP data sources using REST API.

I am currently in the idea phase of this project and I am not quite sure what steps I should take to get started. I have a lot of ideas for the project, but I honestly don't know how to realise them yet. I would like to find out what kind of resources I should turn to in order to gain in-depth knowledge about SAP, ABAP, SAP HANA, Web services and AI. I am especially looking for basic guides or step-by-step guides on these technologies. I would also like to learn about the possible challenges I might face in this project and get more suggestions.

I plan to use web services for external data integration in the project.

I would like to get your suggestions and feedback on the development of the project and its integration with SAP. I would be very grateful if you can provide guidance on which resources I should take a look at. Thank you very much in advance if you take your valuable time and reply.

Yours sincerely,
Zeynep

How to Trigger InvoiceRequest_Out

2025-03-21T14:06:46.221000+01:00

Hello Experts,

I would like to understand how to trigger the standard SOAP (Proxy) service InvoiceRequest_Out in S/4HANA.

Service Reference: Customer Invoice - Send (B2B) - Customer Invoice - Send (B2B) | SAP Help Portal

Do I need to build a custom program to feed the data and call the proxy, or is there a standard way to trigger this service, similar to how we configure IDocs through Output Types?

I couldn’t find clear documentation on this.

I've already created the logical port in SOAMANAGER and set it as default, but that alone doesn’t trigger the message.

We are on S/4HANA Private Cloud - 2023 version.

Thanks,

Anuradha

Miss Material Group Fields in Service Consumer: CustomerReturnBulkReplication_Out in CDP integ.

2025-04-10T14:14:01.659000+02:00

Dear experts,

We are currently using the service consumer CustomerReturnBulkReplication_Out to integrate with SAP CDP. During the integration process, we encountered an issue where the Material Group fields (MVGR1, MVGR2, MVGR3, MVGR4, MVGR5) are not present in the WSDL definition of this service.

These fields are crucial for our integration scenario and are already available in another standard service consumer, SalesOrderBulkReplication_Out. We require similar access to the material group fields in the CustomerReturnBulkReplication_Out service.

Could you please advise how we can enhance or configure the service to include these fields? Alternatively, is there a recommended approach or extension method to make these fields available?

We appreciate your guidance on resolving this issue.

Best regards,

Need Help with MB_MIGO_BADI Enhancement – Skip Shelf Life Check for PO Type ZNB7

2025-09-05T13:49:21.437000+02:00

Hello SAP Experts,

I need your advice on a MB_MIGO_BADI enhancement.

Requirement:
When the purchase order header field EKKO-BSART = 'ZNB7' and the movement type is 101, I want to skip the product (shelf life) date entry check during MIGO goods receipt.

I’ve implemented the BADI and tried to control this via the check_item and line_modify methods, but it’s not working — the system still prompts for the shelf life date.

Here’s my current code:

METHOD if_ex_mb_migo_badi~line_modify.
  IF gt_goitem[] IS NOT INITIAL.
    READ TABLE gt_goitem INTO DATA(gs_goitem) WITH KEY zeile = cs_goitem-zeile.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      APPEND cs_goitem TO gt_goitem.
    ELSE.
      MODIFY gt_goitem FROM cs_goitem INDEX sy-tabix.
    ENDIF.
  ELSE.
    APPEND cs_goitem TO gt_goitem.
  ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.

METHOD if_ex_mb_migo_badi~check_item.
  IF sy-tcode = 'MIGO'.
    DATA: lv_bsart TYPE ekko-bsart.
    LOOP AT gt_goitem ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<cs_goitem>) 
           WHERE matnr IS NOT INITIAL AND zeile = i_line_id.
      IF <cs_goitem>-ebeln IS NOT INITIAL.
        SELECT SINGLE bsart
          INTO lv_bsart
          FROM ekko
         WHERE ebeln = <cs_goitem>-ebeln.
        IF sy-subrc = 0 AND lv_bsart = 'ZNB7'.
          <cs_goitem>-kzmhd = ''.  " Trying to disable check
        ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
  ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.

I’m using a global internal table gt_goitem (type GOITEM) to store line item data.

Problem: The shelf life check is still enforced. The kzmhd flag doesn’t seem to take effect.

Question:
Is check_item the right method to suppress the shelf life check? Or should I be using malmi to modify im_t156-kzmhd?

Any guidance or corrected code example would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
Best regards,

Could You tell me in which table I could find configuration of web services proxy?
I need to scan all defined proxy and identify old proxies but due to it's number, this activity is tedious.

DRF Replication to Multiple Target Systems (F51/F52/F53) – Feasibility Question

2025-11-18T23:05:53.048000+01:00

Hello,

We are going to configure DRF replication from FCW to F51 / F52 / F53 at the same time.
I would like to know if there is a way to replicate to all three systems in parallel without requiring to intervene each time to mark one system as the default port.

In other words, Is it technically possible for DRF to send the same data to multiple outbound ports simultaneously, or does DRF always require one system to be flagged as the default for each replication model?

we did a test with preproduction systems without selecting any logical ports however we see the message is failing in the source system.

NB: we used service groups so the logical ports are generated automatically.

We are in central configuration (central system is called D5W)

Regards!
