o E-FormMeans the same as product catalog. However, if you select this type, the sample implementation oftheBusiness Add-InTransfer Additional Parametersis run, and this BAdI is ignored for all otherbusiness types.

o Supplier evaluationThis business type is currently not used.

o Service provider listThe application SAP Supplier Self-Services (SAP SUS) can be included as a service provider list.

o To open a Web service in a separate window, choose Standard Call Structure.

o To open a Web service within the application, choose Integrated Call Structure.

Note:For the Integrated Call Structure of product catalogs, you should use the servlet delivered for thispurpose (see post installation steps: Integrating the Requisite Catalog in the Shopping Cart).Syntax example:http://://catalog/logonOCI.doSAP recommends that you only use the Integrated Call Structure for the catalog delivered by SAP

because external product catalogs and Web services usually to not take the SRM-specific HTMLframe structures into account. If you wish to include an external Web service, SAP cannot provideany support in the event that errors should occur.

8. Make entries in the fields Name and Value and select a Type. You must adhere to the sequence asfollows:

a) URL of the Web serviceIn the first line of the call structure, enter the URL of the Web service (value) and select the typeURL. Do not enter a name.If you have selected Service provider listas the business type, enter the URL of the SUS ServiceProvider List.Syntax example:

8/22/2019 Catlog Creation 5th Sep 2012

4/13

http://:/sap/bc/bsp/sap/bbp_sus_sagent/sus_serviceagent_f4.htmhttp server and port, see transaction SMICM.Note:

If the URL is longer than the field, distribute it over the following lines and select the type URL forall entries. The URL may not contain any parameters.b) Parameters

After you have entered the URL, enter all parameters that the Web service requires on call-up.

Take the names and values for the parameters from the documentation on the Web service.For the parameters, you choose one of the two possible types:- Fixed valueThe value entered in the Value field is transferred.SAP FieldYou can transfer the system language as a parameter, for example, (Contentsy-langu). This way,you can transfer as parameters all the the fields that are globally available at runtime.Note:

If the fixed values and the generic parameter values are not sufficient, you can transfer additionalparameters from SAP SRMto the Web service by implementing the Business Add-In (BAdI) .Transfer Additional Parameters. Using this BAdI, you can define name-value pairs that can betransferred as additional parameters to the Web service. If, for example, you wish to transfer thesystem language in a different format ('EN-en' rather than 'EN'), you can use this BAdI.c) Return URLEnter the name with which the Web service expects the return URL (usually HOOK_URL), and

choose the type Return URL. Do not enter a value for the return URL. SAP SRM determines thevalue at runtime.The return URL is required in order to transfer data from the Web service via the browser to theSAP SRM system. The Web service copies the return URL into the 'action' parameters of thetransfer form. The return URL is also transferred as a parameter to the Web service. As thishappens, all parameters following the return URL are generated as parameters into the return URL,that is, they are not transferred as individual parameters to the Web service.Note:The specification of the return URL is optional. If you do not specify it, 'HOOK_URL' is used as the

name. The parameters of the return URL thus become obsolete. The return URL must only bespecified if the Web service expects a different name for it than 'HOOK_URL'.

9. Save your entries.Note:To make a Web service accessible for individual users or for user groups, you must assign theWeb service as the value for the attribute CAT. You do this in the attribute maintenance

(transaction PPOMA_BBP). The Help for this attribute lists all the available Web services.

Further notes

You can find the documentation on OCI and OPI in the SAP Service Marketplace at the Internet addressservice.sap.com/instguides.

In order to read additional data from the SAP SRM system and to transfer it to the Web service, youimplement the Business Add-In (BAdI)Transfer Additional Parameters.

In order to define a different logic for the transfer of data from the product catalogs to the SAP SRM system,you implement the BAdITransfer Shopping Cart from Catalog.
