Configuring the Web Service Runtime 

Use

To be able to use Web Services and Web Services Reliable Messaging, you must have the Web service runtime configured.

The configuration of the Web service runtime is client-specific and must be performed in each productive client and in client 000.

Prerequisites

You need the appropriate user administrator authorizations. For further information, refer to the section entitled Setting Up User and Authorization Administrators.

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

...

       1.      In the ABAP program execution screen (transaction SA38), call the report SRT_ADMIN in each productive client and in client 000. Choose Execute Technical Setup and execute the report (F8).

Using the report SRT_ADMIN, you create a service destination for communication through RFC and you perform the settings for the bgRFC (Background Remote Function Call).

SOAP requests are processed using the Internet Communication Framework (ICF). The SAP Web Application Server uses the HTTP protocol of the ICF for communication between the Web service consumer and the Web service provider. The ICF provides the infrastructure for handling HTTP requests in work processes in an SAP system. An HTTP request calls a service in the ICF server. This service contains one or more HTTP request handlers that are responsible for running the ABAP functions.

Using report SRT_ADMIN, all the necessary ICF services needed for standard functions of the Web service call are created.

The log and trace levels can be selected using the report SRT_ADMIN or directly in Working with the SOA Manager. 

Pay close attention to the guidelines in Note 1110741.

If there are any problems, you can also perform the configuration in single steps.

Creating a Service Destination

Performing Settings for bgRFC

You must also check the configuration.

The configuration can be reset using function module SRT_TECHNICAL_SETUP_RESET. Pay close attention to the guidelines in SAP Note 1163844.

The supervisor destination of the bgRFC reads the configuration settings for the bgRFC scheduler and starts or stops the schedulers as required on each application server. The supervisor destination is a prerequisite for the maintenance and monitoring of the bgRFC queue and also for configuring the Web service runtime.  Check if a supervisor destination was set up for your system.

For more information, refer to the section Creating a Supervisor Destination.

       2.      Start the background request SAP_SOAP_RUNTIME_MANAGEMENT for component BC. Call transaction SM36, and choose Standard Jobs – Standard Scheduling. You must schedule the job hourly.
