Web Service sync error

[former_member440449]

Hi Gurus,

I have a proxy to WS sync interface.

This interface was working all time in 2 different enviroments, and now exactly the same interface is failing in one of the 2 enviroments. It sounds crazy but it's a fact!!

When we send a message to the WS, we get the next error in response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> 
- <!--  Inbound Message 
  --> 
- <SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">
  <SAP:Category>XIAdapterFramework</SAP:Category> 
  <SAP:Code area="MESSAGE">GENERAL</SAP:Code> 
  <SAP:P1 /> 
  <SAP:P2 /> 
  <SAP:P3 /> 
  <SAP:P4 /> 
  <SAP:AdditionalText>com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: java.io.IOException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 403 Forbidden</SAP:AdditionalText> 
  <SAP:Stack /> 
  <SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry> 
  </SAP:Error>

Why is this happening?

I compare interfaces from both eviroments and they are exactly the same. Also, they are using the same URL.

The only difference is the system number.

Anyone has any idea of where can I check for this? Please remember that a few weeks ago this was working fine and there was no modification done.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

403 error is user or password (login credentials) is invalid. Nothing wrong with interface. Please make sure you test with the right user credentials. Hope that helps.

The issue was solved using https instead of http to call the WS.

I don't understand why in the other enviroment it is working with http and in this one not.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi,

this error usually comes when URL is incorrect or the adapter is not correctly deployed.

MAke sure the URL you are using is same as mentioned in the WSDL.
