Wrong SOAP port?

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to call a web service, which I've previously designed. As the location of the webservice I used the format:

http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=party:service:channel

I didn't know the port, so I left it out, hoping it would be ok. I used a configuration like this instead:

http://host/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=party:service:channel

When I now call the SOAP request with XML Spy using the generated WSDL, I get the following error message:

HTTP error: could not POST file

'location' on server 'host' (500)

So it's a 500 error I'm getting, and I wonder if this is because I haven't specified a port. If so, how can I find out, what port to use for a SOAP request? Is there a standard port?

Thank you,

Alex

The port should be present. It should be in format 5xx00 where xx is the system number. U can check the same port in XI url on ur internet explorer.

Hi,

thank you for your responses. The problem was not the port though. It was the fact, that the Web Service Wizzard of XI uses HTML Entities when specifying the location of the webservice. It encodes a

 "&" to an "&"

. Most SOAP Clients like XMLSpy (that I use) don't decode this url. Only logical, that we got error messages...

Hi Kiran,

http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=party:service:channel

The Webservice Wizzard adds some parameters to this URL for Receiver Determination, like:

http://<host>:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=<party>:<service>:<channel>&amp;version=3.0&amp;Sender.Service=<SenderService>&amp;Interface=<namespace>%5E<interface>

You can as well take it from SOAMANAGER.

Hi,

Login to PI. Use Tcode sxmb_ifr.

There you will find the host and port.

Need to use Integration server port number.
