Webservice model

[Former Member]

Hi,

I tried creating a webservice model as documented in the PDF by Mr.Velu Pillai. But after entering the system name, alias and the url as mentioned in the document, when i click on create system I get a failure message "Invalid webservice url".

I am working on VC7.0 SP7.0. Please help in solving the problem.

Regards,

Have you:

1. Setup your proxy to allow external web service access?

2. Put in the wsdl url in your web browser and ensured that this wsdl sis valid?

Hi,

The url which I used for webservice was: "http://www.webservicex.com/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?wsdl". It displays the wsdl definition. As for the proxy I have not configured it on the portal. I will do that and check.

But can there be any other reason for the failure?

You will definitely need to configure the proxy on the portal, so check that. I can't think of anything else that would cause the failure.

Hi,

I checked the proxy setting on the server on which the portal is running. There is no proxy enabled and it directly connects to internet. In that case what should I do?

Navigate to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Service Configuration -> Applications -> com.sap.portal.ivs.httpservice -> proxy

Under HTTP Bypass Proxy Servers, enter "*" and save the configuration.
