Which component connects to the services?

[Bernd Welter]

Hello there,

a prospect of mine wants to connect to xServers (more precise: PTV xServer INTERNET) via SAP and he asked me, whether the connection to the services is established by the application server or the SAP gui. Unfortunately I'm not an SAP user therefore I'm not familiar with the buzzwords and topics of this special world.

I know that clients usually create their own programming clients using a WSDL such as https://xmap-eu-n-test.cloud.ptvgroup.c ... /XMap?WSDL but which machine connects the service?

Can anyone give us some info about what has to be done to achieve connectivity to the cloudservices?

Best regards Bernd

PS: I know that we have some partners who might be able to help:

Hi Bernd,

our own adapter uses HTTP destinations to directly send XML/SOAP messages to the xServers.

Another option we use for another adapter is to use SAP PI as a Middleware to send the SOAP messages.

Hi Bernd

. . . it depends . . .

assuming that there is an application in SAP-System which likes to consume PTV-Cloud services like geocoding or routing, the application server has to connect to PTV-Cloud. With maps it depends on the requirements. If caller is a BSP, normally the User-Client requests Cloud xMap. If e.g. SAP-Application has to generate a mail and has to enhance mail with a map-picture (in attachment or body) the SAP-Application-Server has to be caller.
