ABAP Proxies

ABAP proxies correspond to different entities of Web services, such as port types, messages, and schema types. Technically, ABAP proxies consist of two parts: on the one hand, there are the classic ABAP objects, such as interfaces, classes, and DDIC types, and on the other hand, there is metadata (SPRX objects). These two parts are always edited and transported together.

ABAP proxies can be displayed using different browsers, for example Enterprise Service Browser or Enterprise Services Repository Browser. Enterprise Service Browser handles all ABAP proxies, whereas the Enterprise Services Repository Browser only handles objects that were modeled in ESR. For more information, see the following sections:

ABAP proxies are edited in the proxy editor. For more information, see ABAP Proxy Editor
