CLIENT_SEND_FAILED with HTTP 403 (Forbidden) in Call Adapter step

[Former Member]

Hello SAP PI experts,

We have 1 EOIO interface (File to JDBC) scenario, with 1 JDBC lookup in the mapping object.

We have been noticing that the message fails in the 'Call adapter' pipeline step each and every time, but gets successfully sent in the consecutive retry attempt.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<!-- Call Adapter -->

<SAP:Error SOAP:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

  <SAP:Category>XIServer</SAP:Category>

  <SAP:Code area="INTERNAL">CLIENT_SEND_FAILED</SAP:Code>

  <SAP:P1>403</SAP:P1>

  <SAP:P2>Forbidden</SAP:P2>

  <SAP:P3 />

<SAP:P4 />

<SAP:AdditionalText />

<SAP:Stack>Error while sending by HTTP (error code: 403 , error text: Forbidden)</SAP:Stack>

<SAP:Retry>A</SAP:Retry>

</SAP:Error>

The call adapter step here in this case probably is the communication between IE and AE.

Any ideas on what is causing these failures?

I tried looking for solutions in other SCN posts, but was not able to get much information.

Does this happen intermittently? if so, I remember a similar problem that was fixed via an SP upgrade.

I will suggest you guys to raise a message with SAP if this issue occurs intermittently.

Also do check the OSS notes mentioned in the earlier reply.

Thanks for the link, Ambrish.

I did have a look at it prior to posting this thread, and it doesnt explain the issue that I am seeing.

The messages fail just for the 1st time, but get sent successfully in the retry attempt, so it just looks to be a temporary system issue that arises at that time.

Hi Prajeet,

the link does give some hints.. go to SICF execute and activate the services.

It points to SAP notes 751856,517484 and 796726.

You can take a look at the notes and see if your problem is related and everything is in place.

Hope it helps!
