Error creating Endpoints

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have developed a web service and I am trying to generate a service endpoints with SOAMANGER.

but when I try to save I get an error:

SRT Framework exception: Configuration is invalid: Invalid cardinality "AuthenticationMethod"

I thought I was trying to use the wrong authentication method. I know web dynpro and if I am not wrong, "invalid cardinality" means that on a node, there the wrong number of elements. I tried 0 1 and 2 method of authentication, but getting always the same error. does anybody know where is my mistake?

thanks in advance.

I solved it: it was not a configuration error; it was simply the browser I was using. This error is not given with internet explorer.

Please make sure user has the below roles assigned

Ask your Basis team add the following Authorization Role for you.

SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_ADMIN or SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_ADMIN_TEC

then,

go to SICF transaction under /sap/bc/srt/wsil path, test the service and look for service provider you want to consume.

you get 2 links then test for logical port.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/20eb3174-41ab-2a10-a383-907faf60ee...

The link is constructed in the following way:

http://<host_name>:<port>/sap/bc/srt/wsil?sap-client=<sy-mandt>

or you can use transaction SICF then navigate to node /sap/bc/srt/wsil

and press "Test service" from the context menu.

In case there is a Service Registry in your system landscape to which the provider system is connected the profile-based endpoints could be found in that Service Registry as well.

you can follow note 1330545
