Migrating Web Service Configurations

Use

To use new functionality in SOA Manager, you can migrate Web service configurations from earlier SAP NetWeaver releases to the latest SAP NetWeaver release.

With earlier SAP NetWeaver releases, Web service configurations were normally created using transactions WSCONFIG and WSADMIN (for providers), and LPCONFIG (for consumers). Although these transactions are still supported, their functionality is now superseded by SOA Manager (for both providers and consumers).

Prerequisites

You must be assigned the following roles:

• SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_ADMIN

• SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_CONFIGURATOR

Procedure

1. Log on to the ABAP system where the Web service configurations reside.

2. Start transaction WSMIGRATE.

3. Choose whether to migrate the provider configurations or the consumer configurations.

4. To check whether a migration is possible, select Simulation only.

   In simulation mode, the existing Web service configurations are not changed.

5. Choose Execute.

   The tool displays an overview of the (provider or consumer) Web service configurations in the current client that were created in previous SAP NetWeaver releases.

6. Select the configurations to migrate. You can also delete configurations here. For example, if there are already configurations in SAP NetWeaver 7.1 that replace older ones.

   Since you can use both old and new configurations at the same time, you do not have to migrate all the configurations at the same time. You can migrate individual configurations at different times.

7. Choose Execute.

   When configurations are migrated, they are either converted or deleted. None of the old configurations are retained if the migration was successful.

   Once you have migrated the Web service configurations, you can manage the new Web service configurations using SOA Manager.
