Hi Thanu Krishnan
if you have service market place Id you can see the note directly, if not this is the Note Details..
Summary
Symptom
The Internet Communication Framework Services are inactive when you install the SAP Web Application Server. The error text 'Forbidden' is displayed in the browser.
When you try to test a Web service using transaction WSADMIN, the system displays the following error:
"Could not determine WSDL address (ICF_ERROR), SRT_REG038"
Other terms
ICF, Service, You are not authorized to view this page, RAISE_EXCEPTION, forbidden, error HTTP 403, Host is not active, Service is not active
Reason and Prerequisites
After you install the Web Application Server, all Internet Communication Framework (ICF) services are delivered as inactive (this is for security reasons). Following the installation you must decide, on an application-related basis, which services need to be activated manually.
Since several services may be executed when you call a URL, all service nodes must be activated in the SICF tree. As a result, the URL path is represented in ICF subnodes (services). If, for example, you want to activate services for the /SAP/public/icman URL, you have to activate the "default_host" service tree in transaction SICF. After that, you must activate the individual "sap", "public", and "icman" services.
You can activate an ICF service as follows:
1. Select the ICF service in the ICF tree in transaction SICF.
2. You can then activate the service in one of the following ways:
a) Choose "Service/Virt. Host" -> "Activate" from the menu.
b) Right-click to open the context menu and choose "Activate service".
Other problems:
• If the "default_host" node is inactive in transaction SICF, the HTTP request produces a "RAISE_EXCEPTION" ABAP runtime error
stating that the HOST_INACTIVE exception condition was triggered.
• If a service is inactive in the SICF transaction, the error text "Forbidden" is displayed when you access this service.
Solution
Listed below are some services that must be activated in the system
depending on the operational scenario:
• Support for the Internet protocol (HTTP, HTTPS and SMTP) in the SAP Web Application Server
/default_host/sap/public/icman
Comment: After you have installed SAP Web Application Server, you must ensure that this service is activated in transaction SICF. Through this the ICMan process can (for example) make decisions concerning the distribution of HTTP requests to the corresponding server.
• Using load distribution
o with the message server
/default_host/sap/public/icf_info
/default_host/sap/public/icf_info/logon_groups
/default_host/sap/public/icf_info/urlprefix
o with the Web Dispatcher
/default_host/sap/public/icf_info
/default_host/sap/public/icf_info/icr_groups
/default_host/sap/public/icf_info/icr_urlprefix
• Using Business Server Pages (BSP)
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/system
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/public/bc
/default_host/sap/public/bc (available for 620 with Support Package 34)
/default_host/sap/public/bc/ur (available for 620 with Support Package 34)
/default_host/sap/public/bsp/sap/public
/default_host/sap/public/bsp/sap/public/bc
/default_host/sap/public/bsp/sap/system
/default_host/sap/public/bsp/sap/htmlb (as of Release 620 Support Package SAPKB62026)
Comment: In addition to these general BSP services, you still have to activate the corresponding application services in the ICF tree. The service for the application is generally found under the ICF node /default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/<application>.
• Using the BSP logon procedure
/default_host/sap/public/bsp/sap
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/system
/default_host/sap/public/bsp/sap/public
/default_host/sap/public/bsp/sap/system
• BSP test applications for troubleshooting
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/it00
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/sbspext_htmlb
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/sbspext_xhtmlb
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/htmlb_samples
As of Release 6.30:
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/bsp_verificatio
• Using Business Information Warehouse (BW)
/default_host/sap/bw
o Web Applications
/default_host/sap/bw/BEx
/default_host/sap/bw/Mime
o Reporting agent preliminary calculation
/default_host/sap/bw/ps
o Drag and Relate in the portal
/default_host/sap/bw/dr
o Data access using XMLA
/default_host/sap/bw/xml and all subordinate subservices
o Document integration in the BEx Analyzer and Web Applications.
/default_host/sap/bw/doc and all subordinate subservices
o Formatted reporting
/default_host/sap/bw/ce_url
• Assignment of SAP icons
/default_host/sap/public/bc
/default_host/sap/public/bc/icons
/default_host/sap/public/bc/icons_rtl
/default_host/sap/public/bc/webicons
/default_host/sap/public/bc/pictograms
• Assignment of Web Dynpro ABAP (WDA) applications
The use of WDA applications is released only as of SAP NetWeaver Release 7.0. For more information, see Note 1088717.
• ICF test applications:
/default_host/sap/bc/echo
o Among other things, this service returns information about the registration procedure being used, the header and form fields, and the generated SSO cookie for the executed request. Therefore, this service should only be activated for troubleshooting purposes.
• /default_host/sap/bc/error
o This service generates some error situations in the system and should only be activated for troubleshooting purposes.
• /default_host/sap/bc/srt/xip/sap
o You want to fix the Web service error message "Could not determine WSDL address (ICF_ERROR), SRT_REG038" in connection with XI services.
Using Support Package SAPKB62006, the following problems were solved in connection with inactive services:
• The "RAISE_EXCEPTION" ABAP runtime error no longer occurs for an inactive host.
• The error text "Forbidden" was replaced with "Service is not active" for an inactive service.
