Web Services in SAP Business ByDesign PDF

Web Services
(A). What is web services?
Answer : Web services are client and server applications that communicate over the World Wide Web's (www)
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
(B). What you should already know?
Answer : Before you study web services you should have a basic understanding of XML.
(C). How many kinds of web services are there?
Answer : There are two kinds of web services are there.
SOAP (Simple Object Access protocol) : It's a protocol specification for exchanging structured information in the
implementation of web services in computer networks.
REST (Representational state transfer) : It's an abstraction of the architecture of the World Wide Web. More precisely,
REST is an architectural style consisting of a coordinated set of architectural constraints applied to components,
connectors, and data elements, within a distributed hypermedia system.
(D). What is the use of web services?
Answer : A web service is a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction
over a network. The basic web services platform is XML + HTTP(S). XML provides a language which can be used
between different platforms and programming languages and still express complex messages and functions. Now a
days, JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) also used in web services.
(E). What is WSDL?
Answer : WSDL stands for Web Services Description Language. WSDL is an XML-based language fro describing
Web Services and it's recomended by WWW.
In SAP Business ByDesign system we are able to Create and Consume SOAP and REST web services.
From the next page onward you can have the step wise description with screenshots to perform create and consume
web services in SAP Business ByDesign system.

Create Web Services on any Business Object in SAP Business ByDesign
Step – 1 : Login to the SAP Business ByDesign SDK with PDI Access Credentials and open the Solution.
Step – 2 : Right Click on a folder or solution and click on Add > New Item.
Step – 3 : In the Add New wizard click on the Service Integration from the left and then click on Web Service.
Then Assign a name for the web service (Logically understandable) and click on Add button.
Step – 4 : Define the web service namespace and business object and click on the Next button.
Step – 5 : Select the elements in the Business Object View and click on Next Button.

For that, click on the radio button Use Existing View and select the Work Center View from the list.
Step – 8 : After adding the Work Center View, select the work center view and check the service operations you
want to assign and then click on the Next Button.
Step – 9 : In the web service creating final wizard click on the Finish Button to generate the web service.
Step – 10 : After successfully generating the web service, right click on the web service and click on the Check In
Content and then Activate to Check In and Activate the web service.
(If error occurs, then please shorten the erroneous names within 120 characters and then follow the process)
Step – 11 : After Successfully Activation of the web service, right click on that and Download WSDL File in the local
system.

Step – 9 : If the Check Successful, then click on the Next Button.

Step – 10 : Click on Finish Button and then Close Button. The newly created Communication Arrangement can be
found in the list of Communication Arrangements.

Testing of Web Services (WSDL) using SOAP UI
Step – 1 : Download the latest version of SOAP UI ( http://www.soapui.org/Downloads/latest-release.html )
Step – 2 : Install the SOAP UI (If not installed already) and execute that to test the WSDL File.
Step – 3 : Click on File – New soapUI Project (CTRL + N) or click on the icon to create a new SOAP UI Project.
Step – 4 : Browse the WSDL File from the local system. Select the WSDL File and click on Open Button.
Step – 5 : In the "New soapUI Project" wizard check the Create Requests checkbox and then click on OK Button.
Step – 6 : Expand the soapUI project and double click on any service operations (Create, Read, Update, Query, etc.)
Step – 7 : Identify the Request XML and fill with data along with the Web Service Access credentials (On Left side).
All the un-used XML tag(s) should be removed completely and XML tag opening and closing should be performed
perfectly, otherwise web service execution error will occur at the time of executing the web services.
After filling all the data to the corresponding Request XML tag(s) and the web service credentials, click on the Run
Button (Shown in the screenshot). After completion of the web service execution, the Response XML will generate on
the right hand side of the SOAP UI application.
Step – 8 : After successfully testing of the web services operations, save the Request XML and Response XML in
separate files in XML Format. These XML Files will help to perform the web service consume process.
Save the soapUI Project also to check the web services functionality again at any time without creating the projects.

businessobject TriggerStudentBackup raises GeneralInfo

{
// General Message Declaration
message GeneralInfo text "&1" : LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_EXTENDED_Text;
// Alternative Key for the BO

[AlternativeKey] element TriggerStudentBackupID : BusinessTransactionDocumentID;
// Selection Last Changed Date And Time

element SelectionByLastChangeDateTime : basisGlobal:GLOBAL_DateTime;
// Returned Query Hits Number Value

element ReturnedQueryHitsNumberValue : IntegerValue;
// Created By
element CreatedBy : apCommonGDT:Name;

action TriggerWS;
}
Step – 2 : After inserting the BODL Code to the Business Object, Check In the Business Object and Activate it.
Step – 3 : After Successful Activation of the Business Object, right Click on that and Generate the Script Files.
In the Script files only "Event-BeforeSave.absl" and "Action-TriggerWS.absl" should be there.
Step – 4 : In the "Action-TriggerWS.absl" script, insert the following code. Then Save, Check In and Activate it.

Step – 6 : Check In the entire BO and Scripts and Activate it. And then Generate the UI Screens for the BO.

Testing of External Web Services Integration in SAP Business ByDesign
Step – 1 : Login to SAP Business ByDesign system in browser and SDK using PDI development credentials.
Step – 2 : In the SDK right click on the "StudentDB_OWL.OWL.uicomponent" and click Preview Screen. Apply the
same procedure for "CloneStudentDB_OWL.OWL.uicomponent" and "TriggerStudentBackup_OWL.OWL.uicomponent".
Step – 3 : In the browser login, go to the "List of Students" tab and click on New Button to create New Students.
Step – 4 : Fill all the mandatory data and other data of a Student and click on the Save Button.
Step – 5 : After saving the student data, click on the Close Button.
Step – 6 : Click on the GO Button of the "List of Students" tab and Edit any existing data and Save and Close.
Step – 7 : In the browser login, go to the "List of Clonned Students" tab and click on GO Button and check records.
Step – 8 : In the browser login, go to the "Trigger Student Backup" tab and click on New Button.
Step – 9 : Fill the necessary information and the click on Save Button and then Close Button.
Step – 10 : In the browser login, go to the "Trigger Student Backup" tab and click on GO Button to check whether
the new entry is populating or not.
Step – 11 : In the browser login, go to the "List of Clonned Students" tab and click on GO Button to check whether
the new and updated entries are populating or not. And then Edit those entries to check data is proper or not.
 Conclusion :
From the initial to the last module and steps we have successfully created Web Services and consumed
External Web Services in SAP Business ByDesign system. Using the SOAP Method we have performed different kinds
of service operations like Create, Read, Update and QueryByElements.
Sample Business Object Codes :
StudentDB.bo :
businessobject StudentDB raises GeneralInfo
