You use this action to do the following:
Select remote-enabled function modules through the SAP NetWeaver Application Server (SAP NetWeaver AS) Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Interface.
The SAP NetWeaver AS can be used for transaction execution.
Send XML messages to and from the ERP system.
The SAP NetWeaver AS Interface action uses the following:
The local implementation's namespace, which is exposed using the SOAP interface
ERP logon credentials so you do not need to use an alias
Note
The SAP NetWeaver AS Interface action also accepts an SAP SSO2 logon ticket.
For example, if you logged on to the SAP NetWeaver Portal and configured SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) to accept the ticket for integrated logon, you can pass the ticket to the action without requesting user credentials.
