SAP XI business objects are generated from WSDL documents (that have been
processed by the BIA_XIWSDLUtil tool). This section shows you how to
select and specify the source of a WSDL document in the Configure Agent window
of the ODA.
The WSDL document resides on the local file system. You specify
where the WSDL document resides and the SAP XI ODA retrieves it.
To specify the WSDL document:
- Enter the location of the WSDL file that you generated using the
BIA_XIWSDLUtil tool as the value in the configuration property
WSDL_URL. Although this document is on the local file system, you can
use URL syntax (for example: file://C:/test/wsdl)
or an absolute path (for example: C:\test\wsdl).
You must ensure that the ODA has access to this document and its
dependenciesdirectory and filename for the WSDL file The ODA then retrieves
the list of SAP XI services from the WSDL document.
- Click Next.
The ODA queries the URL for the web service provider and retrieves the list
of services defined in the WSDL at this URL location and then displays the
list.
- Note:
- The WSDL ODA displays the ports that have SOAP/JMS or SOAP/HTTP bindings only
and excludes other types of bindings.
- Select one and only one of the operations from the list for the port (the
selectable operations are highlighted). You cannot select the service
or port nodes, which are for display purposes only. Note that WSDL
operations may be of several types: ONE_WAY, REQUEST_RESPONSE,
SOLICIT_RESPONSE, and NOTIFICATION. The WSDL ODA supports and displays
only REQUEST_RESPONSE and ONE_WAY operations.
- Click Next and go to Confirming selections.
