Reverse Proxy in SOAMANAGER not working

[Former Member]

SAP Environment: SAP Netweaver 7.01 SP3

Service Testing Tool: SOAPUI

Requirements: Redirect the end-point (serverA) in the WSDL of a web service created from an ABAP proxy to the load balancer

What I have done:

1. Defined a Reverse Proxy in SOAMANAGER to redirect from serverA:8010 to loadBalancer:80.

2. Tested the service and it worked fine.

3. To make sure the Reverse Proxy was working, I changed loadBalancer:80 to a server name that does not exist.

4. Tested the service again and it still worked.

Questions:

1. Found SAP help on Reverse Proxy but it does not explain all the fields. In the Reverse Proxy configuration, there is a Status field, any idea what value should be put there? I have left it blank.

2. Is there any other configuration needed for the Reverse Proxy to work?

3. Is there a way to check if the Reverse Proxy is working?

Any help will be appreciated.

Reverse proxy name: <any name>

Incoming http header host name: server1.domain..company.com (get it from the end-point in WSDL)

Incoming ICM port: port (get it from the end-point in WSDL)

Substitute host name: server2.domain..company.com (has to be FQDN)

Substitute http port: 80 (in my case)

Substitute https port: (blank)

Additional path prefix: (blank)

Meta data protocol subsitution: http

Endpoint protocol subsitution: http
