Error when transporting Webservice from our DEV system to QA system

[Former Member]

Hello, I created a web service from an rfc by following the wizard from Utilities>More Utilities> Create Web Service. This was created in our 030 client of DEV. I had to create two transports one client independent that was the VI and Service and one Client dependent for the actual webservice. I then transported the webservice to our DEV 200 client and all worked well. Next I transported both to our QA box, first the vi/Service transport then the webservice transport. This is not working, in our QA system, from wsadmin when trying to get the wsdl error is Could not determine wsdl address (ICF ERROR) and from wsconfig when I pull up the service definition and variant the status shows a red stop sign. Is there a trick to transporting this webservice to different systems?

I def award points for helpful answers

I have checked smicm and looked at the icf and see the from wsconfig all looks to be the same except from wsconfig in Create/Change a Service is states Service Name as inactive, but I can't see where to make this active as I activated the Enterprise Service from SE80

hi,

I had this problem once and in my case the service wasn't activated in SICF.

so see your service tree under /sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/<your_service> and probably it's inactive (grayed out). right klick and activate it.

That was it, thanks so much now I have to figure out why both the Enterprise Service and Webservice are inactive when transported Thanks again both of you, I awarded points as promised

hi devlin,

could it be that the ICF on your QA system simply isn't running or the correct node in there not being activated?
