FW: Issues with object EXTSRV

[Rickayzen, Alan]

Hi Carl,
Jocelyn's message didn't seem to get through so I'm resending it. There are WebEx cams of how to create Web service tasks in the SAP WebFlow service marketplace.
 
Kind regards,
Alan Rickayzen
WebFlow Product Manager

Hi Carl,
EXTSRV is a special object that allows web services to be called.
I doubt if you will be able to debug it that way.
"Implemented" status is fine and quite common.
 
What you are missing is the registration of the web service itself and
the web service handler. You need a SAP WAS (Web application server) i.e. SAP Basis 6.10
system somewhere to register everything.
 
There were some presentations at the last SAPTeched about it.
Suggest you read up on the configuration documentation for your personnel change
request workflows and see what it says.
 
Basic pointers:
You need to configure your services via transaction WF_EXTSRV
You need to make sure the service handler is available e.g. using transaction WF_HANDCUST
You register the tasks using the BSP application WF_SRV_TASK_GENERATE/createtask.html
 
The task themselves can be in any SAP system, but they still need to be registered
via a SAP WAS system so that when the work item is executed, workflow knows to call
the service handler and start the web service.
 
Alan Rickayzen can tell you more.

Has anyone used the SAP delivered object EXTSRV?  It is used in the
Personnel Change Request workflows.
 
I am trying to debug the method EXTSRV.PROCESS and am not able to do so.  I
have put breakpoints within the program and it does not hit them when I
instanciate the object and execute the method.  When I look at the object
in the BOR, it is neither modeled or released...Is that a problem.  If so,
why would SAP deliver it that way.
 
Basically our dialog workitems that call this method do nothing right now.
 
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
