Enterprise Services Wizard

There are several entry points for the wizard, some of which are context-sensitive. If you start the wizard multiple times in the same session, values for package, prefix, and transport request are pre-filled from the previous start.

• From ABAP Workbench

  In ABAP Workbench (transaction code SE80) in Enterprise Services Repository Browser right-click a package and choose Create and then Enterprise Service.

• From Enterprise Services Browser

  In Enterprise Services Browser, right-click a node above the object you want to create and choose Create. Note that the wizard call is context-sensitive, and it will offer you the appropriate options to choose from. For example, if you open it from the Enterprise Services node, you can create any proxy object. If you open it from a subnode, only the proxy objects of this subnode are offered in the wizard.

• From the proxy objects entry point

  In transaction SPROXY_START, choose the icon.

• Using transaction code SPROXY_WIZ

  Start the wizard with all its options by entering the transaction code SPROXY_WIZ.

Creating a Proxy Object

In the wizard, you have to specify the following:

• Generation source

  You can specify the following generation sources for the respective proxy objects:

  Proxy Object	Backend	Enterprise Services Repository	External WSDL/Schema	Existing ABAP Object (Inside Out) or Service Variant
  Data types, message types, data type enhancements, fault messages, event providers	X	X
  Service consumers	X	X	X
  Service providers	X	X	X	X
  Semantic contracts, contracts	X		X
  RFC consumers	X		X (local file of the ABAP Connector of the function module)

• Name and a namespace for the proxy object

  The external name that you define in this step is the one that is exposed to non-ABAP applications.

• An ABAP package, a transport request (optional), and a prefix (recommended).

  Either choose a transportable package or select Local Object to assign this object to the $TMP package. If you enter a transportable package, select a request from your transport system. Prefixes can be used to distinguish proxy objects from others.

When you finish the wizard, the new unsaved proxy object is opened in the proxy editor.

Setting a Default Prefix

You can configure the wizard to be pre-filled with a specific prefix by specifying the user parameter PRX_PREFIX in your user profile.

1. In the menu bar of your ABAP system, choose System  User Profile  Own Data.

2. On the Parameters tab, enter PRX_PREFIX as the parameter ID and specify the value to be used a default prefix in the wizard.

3. Save.
