SAPClient Proxy Generation 
To add the SAP Proxy to your Visual Studio project you have the following options:
· Create a new project of type SAP Connector Class
· Add the proxy to another project type (for example Winform, ASP .NET project, webservice)
Procedure
...
1. In Visual Studio .NET choose Project ® Add New Item.
2. Under templates select SAP Connector Class
This brings up the connector wizard.
You can create proxies from one of these:
|
Proxies to Generate From |
Explanation |
|
WSDL file from SAP IFR |
Web Services Description Language (WSDL) files that originate in an SAP interface repository (IFR). If you want to create proxies from an SAP IFR, you must have a URL for the WSDL file In the near future, the SAP IFR will be the central repository for SAP metadata including WSDL files |
|
SAP Server |
Generate the C# proxy by examining the metadata stored in the data dictionary of the SAP system. For most scenarios this is the preferred option |
|
Standard WSDL file |
You can use an existing WSDL file or create your own WSDL file and import it |
3. If you generate proxies from an SAP server, enter the following information in the Enter Logon information screen:
|
Input |
Explanation |
|
System |
SAP system name. If you have SAPGUI for Windows installed, you can select an entry from the drop down box |
|
Host |
Application server host name |
|
ID |
System ID (for example 0) |
|
Client |
SAP client number (for example, 000 or 800) |
|
User |
SAP user name |
|
Password |
Password for that user |
|
Object type (client proxy) |
The wizard creates all necessary code for a SAPClient project. The .NET application which uses SAP system functions is called a client proxy |
|
Object type (server stub) |
The wizard creates all necessary code for a SAPServer project. The SAP system which uses .NET functions is a server stub |
|
Beautify name |
SAP function names are by default upper case. This option makes the names more readable |
|
Create asynchronous methods |
This option is only for client applications. It allows you to make your SAP function call on a dedicated thread so that your application remains responsive should the call take some time |
4. Select the Remote Function Modules (RFM) you want to use in your proxy object.
You can use the following search filters to look for the function modules:
|
Option |
Explanation |
|
Name-Filter |
A search string for finding the proper SAP function(s) by name |
|
Group-Filter |
SAP functions are organized by groups. If you know the group name you may use it here |
After the code has been generated, you can see an SAP proxy WSDL file added to your project. This WSDL file in coordination with Visual Studio and the SAPConnectorGenerator custom tool allows you to manage the SAP proxies automatically.
If you choose to generate the proxy from the SAP IFR you will be asked for the URL of the IFR Server.
If you choose to generate a proxy from a Standard WSDL file you will be asked for the path or URL to that WSDL file.
