To be able to work with a service, a runtime configuration is needed. A runtime configuration is created using the service definition that was automatically created during proxy generation.

Process

You configure a service by creating a service endpoint for it, or by editing existing endpoints. An endpoint contains a single runtime configuration for an enterprise service. To define different runtime behaviors, you can create multiple endpoints for the same service. This allows you to provide the same enterprise service with a different runtime behavior to different consumers.

Note Note

If you do not create an endpoint, it will not be possible to call the enterprise service.

End of the note.

With SAP NetWeaver Process Integration, there are three different ways to configure a service provider.

  • SOA Manager

    Individual configuration of service providers

  • Integration Directory or Advanced Adapter Engine

    You can configure communication between a sender and a receiver system in such a way that it is brokered using the Integration Server or the Advanced Adapter Engine.

  • SAP NetWeaver Administrator

    Central or local configuration

These procedures are outlined in the following sections.

For each procedure, it is assumed that you have Administrator authorization.
