WSDL Problems

[Former Member]

Hi

We have a Webservice generated in ABAP. When we try to open the WSDL in Crystal Reports we don't get the fields service porttype method and can't log in.

We tried to save the WSDL local. No change.

The strange fact is on one PC all this is working. Same Version of Crystal.

Is there any log or something so we can see, what crystal is trying to do, or what the error is.

Another strange fact is, we have a WSDL File for testing generated some time ago, which is working.

We don't know where we should look for errors, or what we can test or change to see any improvements.

Maybe you have any ideas, or questions to claryfy the problem.

Thank you in advance

Andreas

Hello Andreas,

I am having a similar problem with WSDLs in that I cannot use them in e.g. SoapUI or soap4r, as they don't see any services, regardless of whether I specify document-style or RPC-style (although maybe you should give that a try).

Using WSDLs from older releases, e.g. 6.40, however, is no problem.

Did you manage to resolve your issue?

Thanks,

Martin

Hello Andreas, I just solved my problem. I was using the WSDL from SICF which gives only the port type definition. To get the proper WSDL, you need to go to transaction SOAMANAGER (depending on your release) and under Business Administration -> Web Service Administration use the option "Open WSDL document for selected binding" for your service.

Thanks for your reply.

But we do use this WSDL.

At the moment some guys from BO are on it.

But a workaround nevertheless would be great.

Thanks Andreas. It turns out that from NW04s SP14, SAP uses the latest specification for WSDLs, which are not supported everywhere. At least Business Objects should, so I guess your problem will be taken care of
