ABAP help is not working in Eclipse - activated services

Hi,

In some landscapes in our systems integrated help in eclipse is still not working even if docu and toolsdocu services are activated.

I read post with similar problem:

http://scn.sap.com/thread/3238296

I noticed that two services were inactive:

/sap/public/bc/abap/docu

/sap/public/bc/abap/toolsdocu

So I asked related teams to activate services. After it has been done, help is still not working.

Error message while pressing F1 is:

     URL http://.../sap/public/bc/abap/docu call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available.

  

Note

 

     The termination occurred in system D03 with error code 403 and for the reason Forbidden.

     The selected virtual host was 0 . 

However I cannot preview service from SICF transaction. When I try to run "Test Link" for docu or toolsdocu I get message:

Service  Cannot Be Accessed !

Message no. SHTTP009

Diagnosis

You have not entered a handler, and the other services in the URL also do not have a handler. This means the service cannot be accessed by HTTP request.

Procedure

Check whether this is intentional, and if necessary, enter a handler.

If I check "Handler List" on /sap/public/bc/abap level, it is empty. However it is empty also for other landscape system where the help is working fine ("Test Link" option is opening website there). Please help. What else should be configured?

Hi Adam,

the /public/bc/abap/... services are just aliases for the real services /sap/bc/abap/..

Have you checked, whether these services are activated also?

Hi Uwe,

So simple as that?

Thank you for your answer, I will check it and get back soon if this solved the case. I see that original service path is not activated yet.

Kind regards,

Adam

Why do you want to upload a document to the ABAP help pages? Am I missing something?
