Problem calling Webservice using SOAP Protocol

[Former Member]

Hi ,

When I call the a 3rd party webservice from XI using SOAP protocol with XML data packet I am getting an error.

But when I call the same webservice using another 3rd party SOAP client, it is working fine. The only difference between XI and 3rd party is that XML has some more tags. Please see both the XML files and let me know If need to do anything more in XI to make it work.

The Webservice has a input parameter and output parameter to pass the status.

Hi kumar,

>>What is the error?

-check the target URL mentioned in the SOAP receiver Adapter congifuation.

It should be wsdl URL.

Have a look into this~

Hi Kumar,

Try to run the web service standalone and pass same parameters you are passing here in XI and check whether it is working fine?

Thanks,
