Not a valid NCName

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am trying to test a web service in portal base WAS server WS Navigator and i am getting an error right on the first step. Error is as stated below:

Value of attribute definations/services@name is not a valid NCName, as required by WSDL1.1 and BP1.1 specification. Found 'Namespace'/WS_Funds_Plan_Service.

I think cause of error is '/'. But some how i have to rectify the error and have to use this service. Please suggest a solution.

Regards

Hi Pranav,

I was facing this issue sometime back and i figured out that the ABAP proxy namespace in my case had a '/' in it, because of which the internal name of the service had a '/' character too.

And this was unacceptable for the endpoint binding name in my case.

Since it is occuring for you in case of the service name (i figured it out from attribute definations/services@name), check if the proxy name have a special character like '/'.

I am trying to paste a url in Xcelsius based on a query generated in QAAWS. The Universe is designed based on SAP - BW cube.

Even if I choose a single key figure, I get an error of

'Net_Sales Plan' is not a valid NCName.

I tried creating a simple universe, however when I choose any key figure I get the same error.
