No access to SOAMANAGER

[hubert_heitzer]

Hi all,

when I try to start transaction SOAMANGER my web browser is opened with url http://strerptst01:0/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/appl_soap_management?sap-language=DE and displays "The page cannot be displayed".

Why does the transaction expect, that the service listens at port 0?

I have started the service appl_soap_management in transaction SICF. But there is no handler listed in appl_soap_management.

What do I have to do to get a running soamanager?

Regards, Hubert

Hi,

SOAMANAGER is running now.

My parameter setting for icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=0 prevented to open a port inbound connection for HTTP.

After changing to PROT=HTTP,PORT=8080 SOAMANAGER started.

I found the solution in https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/docs/DOC-23290

Thx all,

Hubert

Hello.

I have the same problem but cannot access the link to the document you mentioned.

Can you please help me with information to solve the problem?

Best regards.

Hi,

You have to change default value by edit (or add) profile parameter icm/server_port_0. There are two ways how to do it:

• Add new one in DEFAULT profile in transaction RZ10

or

• Backup your DEFAULT.PFL on your application server (/usr/sap/<sid>/sys/profile) and then add or change value icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=<your_preferred_port>

Aftere these steps is necessary to restart affected SAP system.

Best Regards,

Hi Hubert

Check note #1296114 WSDL URL should evaluate Web Dynpro parameters. Check that the port number is maintained in this table.

Hi Mark,

I checked note #1296114 but we dont have any entry in table HTTPURLLOC.

@Nilesh: Where can I find the number of the port at which the service is listening?

I've done another test now:

I activated service sap/bc/ping and tryed to access its url http://strerptst01/sap/bc/ping via my browser.

This service has a handler in its list and does not require a port.

Result is again the "The page cannot be displayed"-page.

I think this test was real nonsense.

Regards,

Hubert

Hi

This link documents the different authorizations that are required. I don't think SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW are enough on their own. You also need the other authorizations.

Authorizations

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/2b/07074155bcf26fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

Also, there are several ICF services that need to be activated. If these are not activated they should be documented in the error message you get on calling the SOAMANAGER transaction.

Hi,

thank you for your contiued support Mark, but the situation did not change after I assigned the described authorizations to me.

In the linked document by Swarup, I acted like described until step 10. But step 10 asks to start transaction SOAMANAGER, which led in the situation discribed in my first post.

Can you pls give me other suggestions.

Very strange to me is, that there is no handler registered for service appl_soap_management in transaction SICF.

Is there anybody with an operating soamanager, who can confirm this?

Hi,

Ae you sure that the service appl_soap_management is not activated. Are you able to see this service in SICF..

Try to re-activate it by right click on it in SICF.

Thanks

Swarup

Hi Swarup,

i am able to activate and deactivate appl_soap_management in SICF, although there are NO handlers in its list. I have done this many times until these last two days.

In my case there is no difference in the result of starting SOAMANAGER between an activated or deactivated service appl_soap_management.

Change http port manually and try to access..

http://strerptst01:"http port" /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/appl_soap_management?sap-language=DE

Hope this will help.

Thanks,

Hi Hubert

Check that your user has the required authorizations. See the Authorizations section in the link below:

Working with the SOA Manager

Hi Mark,

my profiles are SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW. I think these should include all required authorizations.

The link you posted lookes very interesting, unfortunatly the most interesting section "Technical Configuration" includes only

Activities 
These sections describe configuration settings that are normally made once only in a landscape.

We use ECC6.0 with a ABAP stack only.

Regards,

Hubert
