Payload consumption - silly error message?

Former Member — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 09:26:30 GMT

Hello,

I am working with a Client Proxy webservice implementation. I'm getting a confusing error message from SAP when trying to view the payloads.

My the logic looks something like this:

CREATE OBJECT my client proxy

lo_payload_protocol ?= my client proxy->get_protocol( if_wsprotocol=>payload ).

CALL METHOD lo_payload_protocol->ANNOUNCE_PAYLOAD_CONSUMPTION( ).

CALL METHOD my client proxy webservice

CALL METHOD lo_payload_protocol->get_sent_request_payload

CALL METHOD lo_payload_protocol->get_sent_response_payload

Now I can see the request payload fine, it works as expected. However when I try to view the response payload, SAP gives me a strange error:

"Payload consumption has not been announced (see note 1118825)"

This seems strange to me as I am announcing the consumption, and it works for the request payload!

Any advice is much appreciated! I'm currently wondering if the reponse from the external webservice provider is not being handled correctly and SAP is just mis-reporting the error.

Stuart.

Of course I have read note 1118825.

That is why I am calling ANNOUNCE_PAYLOAD_CONSUMPTION

Hence my lack of understanding of the error message ""Payload consumption has not been announced" when I can see the request payload correctly...

the problem could be that your provider expects a value in the SOAP Action
header. You can set this on the Operation Specific tab in Ta.
SOAMANAGER editing the logical port's configuration.

In the ICM trace you should see the following error:
Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction

Let me know it this helps. All the best

Hello Keith,

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I don't think that is the solution for us - we have no errors in the ICM log.

Currently this error is appearing hand-in-hand with an exception when we call the proxy:

GENERAL_ERROR Error during proxy processing (PART UNKNOWN (NULL)

It is as if sometimes SAP is receiving some combination of data which prevents it from storing the response payload. If I can work it out I'll post results here.

On a positive note, over the past few days we have had some response messages come through and we can see the response payload. When this happens, the exception payload works as well, you get text explaining that there is no exception to see.

Thanks,

Stuart.

I eventually discovered that you get this misleading error message when SAP receives a SOAP response containing data in a namespace that it was not expecting.

So if you are waiting for <ns1:data>..... and SAP instead gets <ns2:data....> you will get this error.

Mystery over.

If the proxy is consumer service, you can try used this configuration the service:

Add these fields proxy and port, this data is provided by the basis team.
