WSDL through ITS in ECC 5.0

[Former Member]

Hello, I am a basis administrator with very little knowledge on Web Services. One of our developers who is no more with our company has created two web services (WSDL) and released them in ECC 5.0 development system. We have ITS running on this box running on a specific port. I am trying publish these webservices to our partners outside our organizations. I went to WSADMIN and went to administration settings and assigned the J2EE Server which is the ECC 5.0 with ITS. I also mentioned the port number at the end of the hostname (like... http://xxxxxx.xxxxxx.com:xxxx). But, when I try to test the services, I am getting a (404 - Service Not Found) error. Can someone help me with this? Your help is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,

If you have url of wsdl then give this url to your external partner they can publish themselves using this url.

Thanks for the response Gourav. How do I obtain the URL. Is this URL for every RFC or is this URL system wide? I would really appreciate if you help me out here.

Thank you.

Hi There,

Your URL will much likely be along the lines of

http://your.systems.url:8000/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/<YourServiceName>?wsdl

Your URL will, of course, the the server's fully qualified domain name or host name. <YourServiceName> will be whatever it is you named your service when creating it (i.e. Z_MY_WEBSERVICE or whatever your naming convention dictates). Hope this helps.

We do not have dual stack. Handed over the development to Portal team to develop a webservice.

Thank you so much for the response. Here is the code I received as an output when I used the URL http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/<servicename>?wsdl. Even though it wasn't what was expected, this time I got something different. It threw me something similar to bunch of XML codes. Does this mean that I am good to hand over the URL to our partner for them to publish it? And by the way, in SICF, under the path /default_host/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/, am I supposed to see a service named WSDL? I don't see this here. How do I confirm that WSDL is enabled in our ECC 5.0 box?

In WSADMIN tcode (ECC 5.0), under GOTO --> Administration Settings, I mentioned the hostname with port of the J2EE Server [http://[hostname].xxxxx.com:[port].

After this, when I choose the service and do a WebService --> GoToHomepage, it opens another browser and throws the following error message.

-

---

Service cannot be reached

What has happened?

URL http://[hostname].xxxxx.com:[port]/wsnavigator/jsps/index.jsp call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available.

Can someone guide me how to go about troubleshooting or fixing this. This is quite urget and your support is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Here's a very basic question. How do I find out if my ECC 5.0 has J2EE running. We have Internally published ITS enabled and port configured in SMICM. With ICM running, doesn't guarantee that J2EE Server is running right? Can someone tell me how to find out if J2EE is running in ECC 5.0?

Another basic question. In ECC 5.0, in the above described scenario, for me to publish Web Service (WSDL), is running J2EE Server a must? Your timely support is much appreciated.

Thank you.
