I'm working on a little project at the moment, where I have to make a SOAP request to a SAP PCo Management Host Service.
I worked on a proof of concept and created a client side javascript document which worked totally fine. So I tried to implement this script in NodeJs on the server side. Therefor I created a web server with node-express and made the request with node-request, but if I send out the request to the PCo Management Host Services is the answer 500 Internal Server Error.
The PCo Management Host displays a raw http request for test purposes, which looks like this:
POST LINKTOHOST HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: PCo
SOAPAction: urn:sap.com:pco.management/PCoManagementService/GetAgentInstancesRuntimeInfo
Authorization: Basic ********
Content-Type: text/xml
Host: HOST
Content-Length: 300
Expect: 100-continue
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:urns="urn:sap.com:pco.management"><soap:Body><urns:GetAgentInstancesRuntimeInfo xsi:nil="true" /></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
I took this raw request and created my own. Here is my working javascript proof on concept:
var userName = prompt("Please Log in with your Windows User Account. Username:","");
var userPW = prompt("Passwort: ", "");
reqAllAgentRuntimeInfo();
setInterval(function() {reqAllAgentRuntimeInfo()}, 5000);
/*
*
* Functions
*
*/
//Sends out the SOAP request via XMLHttpRequest
function reqAllAgentRuntimeInfo()
{
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open('POST', 'LINKTOHOST', true, userName, userPW);
var soapRequest =
'<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:urns="urn:sap.com:pco.management">' +
'<soap:Body>' +
'<urns:GetAgentInstancesRuntimeInfo xsi:nil="true" />' +
'</soap:Body>'+
'</soap:Envelope>';
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('SOAPAction', 'urn:sap.com:pco.management/PCoManagementService/GetAgentInstancesRuntimeInfo');
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Basic');
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml');
xmlhttp.send(soapRequest);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function()
{
//Test for Status Code 4 & 200 = OK
if(xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200)
{
displayData(xmlhttp);
}
};
}
And then i created this server side NodeJs script, which doesn't work and i can't explain myself why.
const http = require('http'); // 1 - Import Node.js modules
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const port = 50001;
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true}));
app.get('/', (req, res) =>
{
res.redirect('/logIn');
});
app.get('/logIn', (req, res) =>
{
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/sites/logIn.html');
});
app.post('/logIn', (req, res) =>
{
//Encode User Credentials
var base64url = require('base64url');
var credentials = 'Basic ' + base64url(req.body.userName + ':' + req.body.password);
var request = require('request');
let soapReq =
'<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:urns="urn:sap.com:pco.management">' +
'<soap:Body>' +
'<urns:GetAgentInstancesRuntimeInfo xsi:nil="true" />' +
'</soap:Body>'+
'</soap:Envelope>';
var options =
{
url: 'LINKTOHOST',
method: 'POST',
body: soapReq,
headers:
{
'Host': 'HOST',
'Content-Length':soapReq.length,
'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip,deflate',
'User-Agent': 'PCo',
'SOAPAction': "urn:sap.com:pco.management/PCoManagementService/GetAgentInstancesRuntimeInfo",
'Authorization': credentials,
'Content-Type': "text/xml"
}
};
let callback = (error, response, body) =>
{
if(!error && response.statusCode == 200){
console.log('PCo Communication raw result', body);
}
else
{
console.log('PCo Communication Error: ', response.statusCode, response.statusMessage);
}
}
console.log(options);
request(options, callback);
})
app.listen(port, () =>
{
console.log(`Webserver listening at http://localhost:${port}`);
});
I would be glad if someone could help me.
Thank you.
special thanks to factorypolaris. It works now. Here is my code:
let soapReq = '<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:urns="urn:sap.com:pco.management">' +
'<soap:Body>' +
'<urns:GetAgentInstancesRuntimeInfo xsi:nil="true" />' +
'</soap:Body>'+
'</soap:Envelope>';
var options =
{
host: '127.0.0.1',
auth: req.body.userName + ':' + req.body.password,
method: 'POST',
port: 55555,
path: '/PCoManagement',
//body: soapReq, -->*Remove this*
headers:
{
'SOAPAction': "urn:sap.com:pco.management/PCoManagementService/GetAgentInstancesRuntimeInfo",
'Content-Type': "text/xml"
}
};
var req = http.request(options, function (response) {
console.log('STATUS: ' + response.statusCode);
console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(response.headers));
response.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
});
});
req.write(soapReq); //--> Add this to write your actual data to the message
req.end(); //--> Add end() to define the end of your request
