Abap Proxy => Web Service - Connection timeout

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I request your help on some issue we encounter actually on our Web services interfaces.

We have sceanario in which from SAP, we are sending a message to PI via Abap proxy.

PI then, send the message to the external system via a Web Service (we have configured the URL and authentification values).

When we want to test the scenario we have an issue.

- We see in SXMB_MONI message has status sent succesfully

- When we check the external system, we see that no message is received (no trace of message from PI).

- Then we check on PI runtime workbench, we see in the receiver communication channel error saying "Connextion Timeout"

(in detail: SOAP: call failed: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out")

We would like to investigate the issue.

Have you already encountered this kind of issues ? And how we could investigate the root cause here ?

And thanks for ur help,

S.N

This might be due to following reasons.

Please check whether firewall exist between Pi and external system. If so check with  network team weather port or connectivity is established between PI server and external system. This should be the main reason.  Also check the target URL and see whether you can able to consume the webservice directly from Soapui without PI.  If your workstation is within PI's landscape and you see the same timed out error, then the network connectivity is the issue.  Ask them to enable the port.

Hi Baskar,

yes , when we test with SOAP UI from our workstation it works.

The target URL seems OK after checks yesterday.

Thank you for the advice on network checks.

We'll check these points too.
