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). Pay close attention to the guidelines in Note 1110741.
Using the report SRT_ADMIN, you create a service destination for communication through RFC and you perform the settings for the bgRFC.
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.
2.
Create
a supervisor destination for
bgRFC (Background
Remote Function Call) processing. The supervisor destination reads the
configuration settings for the bgRFC scheduler and starts or stops the
schedulers as required on each application server. Having a supervisor
destination is a prerequisite for maintaining and monitoring the bgRFC queues.
Create the supervisor destination once for each system.
For more information, refer to the section
Creating a Supervisor
Destination.
3.
Activate the services of the
Internet Communication
Framework (ICF). Processing of SOAP requests is performed through the 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.
SAP provides appropriate ICF services for the standard functions of the Web service runtime. Activate the services listed in Note 1124553.
4. Start background job BC_SAP_SOAP_RUNTIME_MANAGEMENT. Call transaction SM36, and choose Standard Jobs – Standard Scheduling. You must schedule the job hourly.
