service cannot be reached

[Former Member]

Hi,

i made a web service in Abap, and when testing it the message

'Service cannot be reached' appears...

I tried the following things but they didn't work:

- activating the service in transaction SICF --> green status !

- using the IPadress of the SAP server instead of the hostname in the browser

the WDSL definition seems to be there, because when pushing the 'WDSL' button, the xml appears in the browser.

In transaction SMICM, i can see that the http request doesn't come through and gets a warning: connection request failed.

Do i to set up an RFC destination in SM59 for a web service ?

Thanks,

Rolf

no RFC destination set up is required.

how are you testing it? is the webservice released for SOAP runtime?

check this weblog, it may be of help to you

Hi,

thank you for your answer.

I tested the service in the following way:

Transaction 'wsconfig' to release the web service

Fill in the name of the web service and a variant name

Double-click on ICF details

There is a tree with the virtual host 'default_host'

Then i right-click on

default_host --> sap --> bc --> srt --> rfc --> sap --> z_test_webservice3

The service is already activated, so i select:

'Test service'

As a result, the browser opens and displays the following page:

http://saperdsrv:8000/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/z_test_webservice3?sap-client=010

The page cannot be displayed

HTTP 500 - Internal server error

Internet Explorer

I also tried the following:

http://saperdsrv:8000

Service cannot be reached

ErrorCode:ICF-NF-http-c:000-u:SAPSYS-l:E-i:saperdsrv_ERD_00-v:0-s:404-r:Notfound

HTTP 404 - Not found

Your SAP Internet Communication Framework Team

Next try: ( with another port number 😞

http://saperdsrv:50000/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/z_test_webservice3?sap-client=010

The page cannot be displayed

Cannot find server or DNS error

Internet Explorer

Also replacing the server name with the IP address doesn't help..

Testing the service in wsadmin does not work.

The WDSL is shown correctly:

http://saperdsrv:8000/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/Z_TEST_WEBSERVICE3?sap-client=010&wsdl=1.1&mode=sap_wsdl

The java instance of Netweaver had to be configured.
