Hi,

When i open the WD View in SE80, i am getting the error as follows

Service cannot be reached

What has happened?

Note

The termination occurred in system DMD with error code 403 and for the reason Forbidden.

The selected virtual host was 0 .

If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system administrator.

Hi Gangisetty,

goto Sicf and navigate inside to maintain service

from there goto

default_host->sap->bc->webdynpro->sap->configure_component

and then right click on it and activate it.

Regards....

Hi,

If we get 403 error for WD ABAP applications, then the services in SICF would be inactive. Goto transaction SICF navigate to approproate node like sap -> bc ... and activate the service for that node by right clicking on the node and select activate service.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Thanks for the kind information.

I did according to you susggestion But still i am getting the following error

Error in the ICF node

Specific ICF Nodes in Transaction SICF Must Be Released for the Web Dynpro View Designer

Check the following ICF nodes, as described in note 517484:

/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/public/bc/viewdesigner

I don't have any node Public under path /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/.

Please suggest me what to do now?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

There is one report available to activate all the ICF services for WD ABAP. Execute the report RSICF_SERVICE_ACTIVATION by passing values 'WEB DYNPRO ABAP', 'WEB DYNPRO ABAP DESIGN TIME' & ' WEB DYNPRO ABAP TEST APPS'. This will activate and display the status also.

Regards,

Manne.

I am using WEBCUIF 701.

What fixed 403 Forbidden error in SE80 for me: Go into SICF and activate your webdynpro application:

tcode SICF default_host->sap->bc->webdynpro->sap->z_w2_pdf_2022 right click Activate Service

(z_w2_pdf_2022 is the name of my SE80 Web Dynpro Application, you use yours.)

If the above isn't your problem these notes may help:

NOTE 2640639 - WDA: 403 Forbidden error message in SE80 View Designer,

...which refers to ...

Note 1088717 - Active services for Web Dynpro ABAP in transaction SICF.
