You must configure your SAP system if you want to be able to execute workflows that use Web services. The procedure depends on whether you only want to configure your logical SAP system for a local execution of Web services, or whether your logical SAP system is to function as a handler server or a handler client.

1. Go to the Launch Handler tab page and enter the data of the local launch handler. As standard, you do not have to change the Path and Handler Name. The launch handler is the system from which the calling of the Web service takes place.
2. Choose Generate URL and then Test URL to check that the URL works.
3. Go to the Callback Handler tab page and enter the data of the local callback handler. As standard, you do not have to change the Path and Handler Name. The callback handler receives the confirmation of the Web service and transfers this confirmation to the workflow system.
4. Choose Generate URL and then Test URL to check that the URL works.
5. Go to the tab page Callback dialog. The callback dialog is used to allow users to complete Web services with a dialog and continue the workflow. The following HTML pages are currently available to complete a dialog Web service:

• Dialog Service Boxset – the dialog Web service is executed in a separate HTML window and the user can complete the dialog Web service in a separate dialog window.
• Dialog Service Frameset – the dialog Web service is executed in a frame of the HTML window and the user can complete the dialog Web service in a frame arranged above it.

If you define your logical SAP system as the handler server, other logical SAP systems can execute all the Web services registered there using the handler server.

1. The status Handler Server must be set on the tab page System status.

If the system is already defined as local only, choose Operate System as Handler Service.

If the system is defined as the handler client, you must log your logical SAP system off as the client system for the handler server. The handler server valid for your logical SAP system is entered on the tab page Launch Handler as the logical system of the remote launch handler. Then define your system as the handler server.

2. Go to the tab page Client System. There enter all logical SAP systems that are to access the handler server as the client.
3. Go to the Launch Handler tab page and enter the data of the local launch handler. As standard, you do not have to change the Path and Handler Name. The launch handler is the system from which the calling of the Web service takes place.
4. Choose Generate URL and then Test URL to check that the URL works.
5. Choose Distribute. As a result, all client systems are defined as a handler client and receive the information for the remote launch handler.
6. Proceed for the definition of the Callback Handler and Callback Dialogs as described for local Web service execution.

If a handler server exists in your system environment, you can register your logical SAP system there as the client system. As a result, you can use all of the Web services registered on the handler server in your workflows. It is still possible to register and use Web services locally on your system.

1. The status Handler client must be set on the tab page System status.

This takes place automatically if your logical SAP system is logged-on as the client system for the handler server and distribution of the launch hander has been performed.

2. Go to the Launch Handler tab page and enter the data of the local launch handler. As standard, you do not have to change the Path and Handler Name. The launch handler is the system from which the calling of the Web service takes place. There you also see the remote Launch Handler that is provided by the Handler Server.
3. Choose Generate URL and then Test URL to check that the URL works.
4. Proceed for the definition of the Callback Handler and Callback Dialogs as described for local Web service execution.
