Creating Domain Systems for Third-Party SystemsLocate this document in the navigation structure

For third-party systems to take part in central scenario configuration, create domain systems in your central system. Such a domain system is a collection of uploaded WSDL documents that provides Web services from one or more external physical systems. These Web services can then be centrally configured and consumed from within your system landscape.

Procedure

  1. In SOA Manager (transaction code SOAMANAGER) on the Technical Administration tab, choose Domain Systems.
  2. Choose Create.
  3. Specify an ID, a name, and an optional description for your domain system.
  4. Upload one or more WSDL documents from a file or URL or from a Services Registry.
  5. If necessary, modify the WSDL document so that all properties can be interpreted correctly by SAP.
    If the WSDL document contains policy assertions that cannot be interpreted, this is indicated by an orange exclamation mark icon. You can remove these by choosing Hide Unsupported Fragments. If you want to clean up the WSDL document, you can also remove all properties by choosing Remove All Properties. If, for a binding, different configuration alternatives are possible, you can select Replace and use a template to create the new configuration.
  6. Select at least one service interface from the list and choose Next.
  7. Confirm the WSDL upload and save your domain system.

Results

The domain system is created. The central system now provides the WSIL and (modified) WSDL for the third-party system. Under Provider System, you find the user and password for accessing the WSIL and the WSDL in the central system. All other domain systems that need to communicate with this third-party domain system must use these credentials. You can change them here. You also find the IBC reference and the business application ID that were created for the domain system. If the domain system is assigned to one or more domain system groups, this is shown in the table under Domain System Groups. For all service interfaces that are uploaded with these WSDL documents, the corresponding entries in the central design time cache are created.

Next Steps

If you want to configure this third-party system within a contract connection, you have to create contract implementations in the central design time cache. For more information, see Creating Contract Implementations in SOA Manager.
