Creation of Client Proxy (Consumer Proxy) for a Web Service

By Rahul Mehta, Tata Consultancy Services

Concept:

1.     Every Web service is generated with a Web Service Definition Language (WSDL).

2.     We will use the WSDL to create a Client Proxy.  

Example: Suppose we have two systems System-1 & System-2. We have created a web service in System-1 & we want to consume that Web service in System-2. For this we have to create a Client Proxy in System-2 with the help of WSDL that is generated with the web service which is made in System-1.  

Settings: To call the web service of system1 in system2 the following settings must be   done.

1. Go to T-code SICF and press execute.

2. Go to Client->Proxy Settings.

3. The following screen appears.

4. Go to HTTP Log and Provide the Host name and port of system-1. (System in which web service exists)  

Steps for Creating a Client Proxy:  

1. Go to T-code Se80.

2.     Go to Edit Object ->Enterprise Services->Client Proxy (Radio Button).  

Click on the create button.

3.     The following screen appears.  

Select the radio button URL/HTTP Destination and click on the continue button.   

4. The following screen appears.
