Error HTTP: 403 - Forbidden

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I'm facing a problem that is: i've configured a scenario in Integration Builder to communicate with a party that has no authentication (user, password, keystore, etc). In this case, the communication channel only have the endpoint and the soapAction configured.

When i execute the abap program on ECC, it communicates with the PI (7.31) to consume the service. But, i'm getting the error below:

14.05.2014 19:23:03.676	Informações	SOAP: request message entering the adapter with user J2EE_GUEST
14.05.2014 19:23:03.687	Erros	Failed to call the endpoint: Error in call over HTTP: HTTP 403 Forbidden
14.05.2014 19:23:03.687	Erros	SOAP: call failed: java.io.IOException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 403 Forbidden
14.05.2014 19:23:03.693	Erros	SOAP: error occured: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: java.io.IOException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 403 Forbidden

When i consume the service by SOAPUI, it works correctly.

Someone can help ?

Best regards,

Hi guys, the problem was on the server hosts file, a DNS problem.

Hi Pradeep,

In my case, the solution was to change the "hosts" file on the PI server .... our PI server is on AIX, and like on Windows, it has a hosts file, that converts a address name to ip ...

A partner help us deploying the XPI Inspector on the server, it's a great tool to try to find the exactly problem.
