webservice: test data service -> Portal Request Failed

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am facing the well known problem which appears when I try to test a webservice at the Virtual Composer.

I have tested the webservice over the webservice navigator and it works fine.

The connector test at the portal also succeed.

The webservice is located at my local system, and worked with it at the discovery system.

I arleady was at

<b>https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/vc/portalRequestFailed&</b> and could not found any solution for my case.

I tried to find a solution over older threads which decribe my problem, but most of them are not answered or the solution is not posted.

Have anyone faced this problem and found a solution which is easy to apply?

The web service may require authentication so when we try to import the service through WSDL, even though the structure and the function names are included in the project namespace, the actual web service is not included.

When you test the webservice over the webservice navigator, you provide the username and password manually to access that webservice.

In order to authenticate it, go to the logical ports of the web service ->Security and select the type of authentication and the username and password used to access the webservice. This will authenticate the web service and you will not be required to give the uaername and password again. May be this can help.

Hi Ali,

I was never able to get web-service imported in my VC model.

when i give the WSDL and create web-service system, it creates it fine. But when i select that system and try to access/ import the web service- it does nothing. The functions in the web-service never get listed. If i try to use search- it results same message- not found.

i have followed many documents targeted to this problem like- proxy settings in portal, proxy settings in Visual Administrator, but it never worked for me.

I had to go by a bit longer path using CAF service layer (in NWDS) and deploying the web-service in local instance and using plain views in VC interacting with GP...

please let me know if i am missing something when importing web-service. (even simple WS such as weather and currency converter also never worked)

Hi Swapnil ,

I am not sure if have a R3 system as backend, if yes then try the transaction "<b>/nwsconfig</b>" and select the service you want to reach. There you have to found the tab logon data and enter the user you use for the R3 system for example.

If you have done this try out to define your system over the VC "define webservice system".

The funny thing is that I have access to system based on the discovery system and there it did work, but on my own system it didn't.

I think have a problem with the transaction between portal and R3 system , so I have to search for the missing configuration.

Hope it can help.

regards

Ali

Hi

Can you try setup the destination in the J2EE engine itself and check if it works.

This can be done for webservices.
