Running the BIA_XIWSDLUtil tool

The BIA_XIWSDLUtil is a command-line tool that converts SAP XI generated WSDL files to standards-compliant WSDL files. The outputs are WSDL files that the SAP XI ODA can use to generate TLOs for use with the adapter.

Note:
Before proceeding with this step, you must first use SAP XI tools to generate WSDL files. For further information, see the SAP XI documentation. In addition, the WBI Adaper Frame work and SAP XI adapter must be installed.

To start the BIA_XIWSDLUtil tool:

  1. Open a command prompt window or shell.
  2. Navigate to the directory containing the SAP XI adapter. The directories may be as follows (see Installed file structure):
  3. Make sure that the following files are in this directory:
  4. Copy the WSDL file (for example, SalesOrder_GetList.wsdl) that you generated using the SAP XI Integration Developer - Design tool to this folder.
  5. Identify the URL on which the SAP XI connector is listening for the requests (for example, http://sapxi:4444/myservice/ws).
  6. Choose an output file name (for example, SalesOrder_GetList_out.wsdl). You may want to include the SAP interface function name to clearly associate it with the actual SAP BAPI/IDOC call.
  7. At the command line prompt, enter the following:
    BIA_XIWSDLUtil <input_filename> <SAPXI_URL> <output_filename>
     
    

    where:


    The program returns to the command prompt after successfully creating the new WSDL file.

  8. Copy the output file to the SAP XI ODA directory, which may be WBIAdapters Home/ODA/SAPXI.
