Sending a request to SOAP WSDL

Question

I want to create a RFC with from a SAP's function. I generated a SAP data source from this function. When I go to this address : http://xxx.xxx.com:8000/sap/bc/soap/wsdl11?sap-client=200&services=ZTEST i have this page :

I created a Javascript function which send a post request like this :

var webServiceURL = 'http://xxx.xxx.com:8000/sap/bc/soap/wsdl11?sap-client=200&services=ZTEST';  
function createSoapEnvelope(contents) {  
    return '<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" ' +  
      'SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">' +  
      '<SOAP-ENV:Body>' + contents + '</SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>';  
}  
  
function HelloWorld() {  
    var message = createSoapEnvelope("<ZTEST/>");  
    $.ajax({  
        url: webServiceURL,   
        type: "POST",  
        dataType: "xml",   
        data: message,   
        async: false,  
        contentType: "text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\"",  
        success: OnSuccess,   
        processData: false,  
        error: OnError  
    });  
  
    return false;  
}  
  
function OnSuccess(data, status) {  
    alert(data.d);  
}  
  
function OnError(request, status, error) {  
    alert('error');  
}  
  
HelloWorld();  

When I run the code I stay on the description. I should have a list of users.

Do you have a solution?

Thanks!

When I go to http://xxx.xxx.com:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/srvc_%5Bguid%5D/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=200

I have this :

When I go here : http://xxx.xxx.com:8000/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ZTEST/200/ztest/binding i have blank page.

In transaction code soamanager, when I select my webservice, I have a line in configuration with :

• Service : ZTEST
• Endpoints : ZTEST
• State : Active
• Creation Type : Manually created

Answer 1

It looks like you're posting to the wrong URI, and I think the body is not correct either.
Since I cannot determine what the correct values should be for you, I've created a similar test service. Maybe you'll be able to find the error once you see the URI's and message I'm using on a working service.
I've created a ZTEST RFC which simply returns a parameter message which contains the string Hello, World!, generated a SOAP service from it, and created a binding for it with the soamanager transaction (perhaps you forgot this last step?). The results are as follows:

WSDL URI: http://sapserver/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/srvc_[guid]/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=200

The WSDL specifies the following binding URI's: http://sapserver/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ztest/200/ztest/binding
http://sapserver/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ztest/200/ztest/binding

Sending a POST request (Content-Type text/xml) to either of those binding URI's with the following body returns the expected result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

 xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
