RFC to SOAP - Internet

[Former Member]

Hi

I am working on RFC to SOAP scenorio.

In the PI, if the internet access is closed.

The interface is not working, even though i am able to open the target URL from PI internet browser.

In the PI, if the internet access is provided.

The interface is working.

The target URL is residing on the same network, on different JBOSS server which uses AXIS2 application.

Is it possible to invoke a webservice, with out internet connection

Pls let me know your thoughts

If the webserver hosting the webservice is accessibe through PI (as in your case), then there is no need for internet connection on PI.

Hi Prateek

We are able to open the target URL from PI.

We are getting the following error message

"com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 403 Forbidden"

Yes, within intranet (LAN/WAN) it should work.

>In the PI, if the internet access is closed.

May I ask you, How you are closing internet facility in PI server.

Hi

IP address was removed on firewall, hence internet is not working

But we can open the target URL with out internet

Try sending the same message from RFC which used to work when there is an internet connection.

Forbidden error for soap usually occurs when there is problem with the URL. Also do you have any proxy server to connect to the receiver webservice?

Hi Prateek

I observed one more thing, in the PI trouble shooting guide, for the HTTP 403 error

It is mentioned to "Activate the service engine in transaction SICF"

I found that Service is active.

But when we right click on the service and test it.

We are getting the following response "URL_PIPELINE_NOT_FOUND"
