If you want to connect a third-party system, such as SAP ME, to PCo, you need to create a Web Service Destination system.
Procedure
Choose Add Destination System. Then choose the destination system type Web Service Destination System.
Enter the following data on the Server Settings tab:
Field
Description
WSDL URL
Enter here the URL for the WSDL with which the third-party system (for example, SAP ME) makes its Web services available.
Timeout
Length of time in milliseconds in which the client application waits for a response. If there is no response during this time period, processing is interrupted.
Detailed Logging
You can use this setting to generate a log file in the <installation directory>\WSLogs folder that contains detailed information about the message sent and the response received.
The following file name is created for the log file: WS_[notification id].log
The following options are available:
No Logging
With this setting, the PCo system does not perform detailed logging.
Only for Failed Web Service Calls
With this setting, the PCo system logs errors or exceptions.
Only for Successful Web Service Calls
With this setting, the PCo system generates a log only if a request was successful, meaning that there were no errors and no exceptions.
For All Web Service Calls
With this setting, a log is always generated.
Authentication
Specifies how the destination system verifies the digital identity of a sender of communication data. You have the following options:
HTTP Basic Authentication
This is the default authentication. In this case, you need to specify a user name and a password for the destination system (for example, for SAP ME).
No Authentication
No logon data is required for this setting.
User Name
Valid user name for the third-party system
The user name is only required if the HTTP Basic Authentication setting was selected previously.
Password
Valid password for the third-party system
Choose Call Services.
All available services are displayed in the Service Bindings screen area.
In the background, PCo establishes a connection between the destination system and the server on which the Web service is stored. A proxy class is generated for the Web service.
If several services or several endpoint URLs are displayed for a service, you click the service you want to select.
Save your entries.
