Calling external Web Service: PI is looking for a logical port and proxy.

Hi,

My scenario is ECC Proxy -> PI -> External Webservice (WS adapter).

the Web service adapter fails with the error message:

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

- <!-- Call Adapter

-->

- http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP=" http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="">

<SAP:Category>XIServer</SAP:Category>

<SAP:Code area="INTERNAL">WS_ADAPTER_SYS_ERROR</SAP:Code>

<SAP:P1 />

<SAP:P2 />

<SAP:P3 />

<SAP:P4 />

<SAP:AdditionalText />

<SAP:Stack>System error while calling Web service adapter: Error when initializing SOAP client application: 'error_text'</SAP:Stack>

<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>

</SAP:Error>

When I debug the message processing, it is looking for a port in table SSRVRTCONFIG, finds it(entry created automatically when WS adapter and the corresponding receiver agreement is activated in ID.

Then the program looks for an entry in "SRT_CFG_CLI_ASGN" for a proxy and logical port combination and errors out.

to be able to call an external web service, do we need a proxy to be created? I tried to create but the proxy creation fails because the external WSDL has some unsupported tags.

Also do we need to do any other configuration in SOAMANAGER? I am assuming not because the Web service is external.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Vijay
