Invalid Web Service URL Error

I am trying to access define a new webservice system using the WSDL for my local queryview web service. When I put in the WSDL URL it comes back with a "Invalid Web Service URL" error. If I put the URL in the Browser address, it successfully brings back the web service information. Any ideas why I can't define this web service system?

http://<server>:8001/sap/bw/xml/soap/queryview?sap-client=040&wsdl=1.1

<server> is a token for posting concerns...

Thanks!

Thanks for the direction. I looked at the points in the FAQ and here's the answer to the points:

1. WSDL URL Is correct (works when executed in browser)

2. I am using a fully qualified domain in the URL

3. I have access to the WSDL

4. Don't think I need to setup proxy server as the Web Service Example works fine

any other ideas? Thanks for your help!

I am imagining that the BW QUERY_VIEW_DATA web service complies to the Basic Profile 1.0.

And I don't quite understand this part?

<i>In addition, connections to Web services for SAP backend systems must be performed via logical destinations (configured in the SAP J2EE engine with the Visual Administrator) and not via portal systems</i>

Since the QUERY_VIEW_DATA Web Service resides on my BW system is the BW system considered a SAP backend system? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Hi

You will have to create this web service as a logical destination in the Engine, also do not forget to set up the proxy.
