what do you want to do with this url.

you cannot open this directly in browser.

to understand what it does, look at it handler class CL_HTTP_EXT_SOAPHANDLER_RFC

Basically i am from BASIS team i don know much about abap .Abapers have asked that this link is not working so they said that something needs to be done from my side .I don know what to be done in order for the link to come.

Hi ,

What needs to be done from my side in order for that link to work .http://<host>:8000/sap/bc/soap/rfc

I tried to maintain the logon entries then also it this URL is not working .

if you are able to ping the url, you can be sure its working.

to get the actual message thrown by the server instead of page cannot be displayed message do the following.

in the browser go to tools->internet options->advanced and uncheck the check box "show friendly http error message" and run the url again.

HI,

I followed as you told then this is the message what i was getting the Internet explorer.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

- <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">

- <SOAP-ENV:Body>

- <SOAP-ENV:Fault>

<faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Server</faultcode>

<faultstring>Internal Server Error</faultstring>

<detail>SoapDoc::Init: Cannot set inout buffer</detail>

</SOAP-ENV:Fault>

</SOAP-ENV:Body>

</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

What do i need to do in order for the URL to work.

[athavanraja · Accepted solution]

the application which is calling this url has to post soap request in the right format .

So what needs to be done from my end in order for this URL to work .

Sheesh! Some people wont take "yes" for an answer.

The URL is working dude! Now it is over to your developers.

Hi ,

The problem is that the developers are saying that URL is not working since we are getting page cannot be displayed .They dont want that page to be displayed .Since this is a BSP they say that something must be displayed other than page cannot be displayed .

Hi Ambie,

your developers are wrong. This is not a BSP page at all.

It is the entry point for the ABAP SOAP runtime.

When you turned off friendly http error messages in your browser it showed you that it received

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
- <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
- <SOAP-ENV:Body>
- <SOAP-ENV:Fault>
<faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Server</faultcode> 
<faultstring>Internal Server Error</faultstring> 
<detail>SoapDoc::Init: Cannot set inout buffer</detail> 
</SOAP-ENV:Fault>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

This is the XML response from the SOAP handler that basically says - "WTF was that you just sent me?".

Get your ABAP developers to read up on web services, SOAP and how to consume ABAP web services.
