AO - https Web Serice URL

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have ssl configured in Tomcat with no issues. For Analysis for Office connecting to BOBJ we have issues with https web service URL.

AO web service url has no issues with http.

http://myserver.mycompany.com:8080/dswsbobje/services/Session

AO web service URL with https gives "Error while checking availability of SAP..."

https://myserver.mycompany.com:8143/dswsbobje/services/Session

Both URLs work in browser and I'm able to test services. I found note 1812984 - SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform 4.0
Client Tools on https not working that mentions maintaining param in axis2.xml which I have done below. Still we receive same error with https url. Any ideas on what else to check?

    <transportReceiver name="http" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisServletListener">

      <parameter name="port">8080</parameter>

    </transportReceiver>

    <transportReceiver name="https" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisServletListener">

      <parameter name="port">8143</parameter>

    </transportReceiver>

Thanks!

This is a bug in AAO, it should be fixed in SP4 for it.
Unfortunately, developers haven't published SAP Note on it.

Thanks Denis. After upgrading we actually still have this issue on 4.1 SP5 with the https link in AO client. Strange.

if you still have the issue - you should raise an SAP Support Incident on this.

This is an issue in the Analysis for Office client.

Hi,

please note that AfO 2.0 is now GA. Maybe you want to check this with the latest Version.

Hi ,

Noted that the solution already suggests AO version 2. Can you please share if this was resolved. Please go through a similar issue below and kindly suggest any thoughts.

We are on BO 4.1 SP4 Patch 2 and Analysis office 1.4 Version 14.  We are not able to connect Analysis office from BI platform using 'https' web service URL(https url- https://<servername>/dswsbobje/services/session. But Analysis office does not recognize this as a valid  URL. Tried updating the axis2.xml in server to include https logic. Still we face the same connection issue. However when we access  https://<servername>/dswsbobje/ in browser, a webpage is displayed saying successful deployment of axis2.xml. And when  we access  https://<servername>/dswsbobje/services/session then we get an alert "Please enable REST support in WEB-INF/conf/axis2.xml and WEB-INF/web.xml".

Thank you.
