SAP Dashboard Design web service error: ‘Unable to load URL’
Recently, I was testing some webservices to write and read comments from a custom SAP BW table and display them in a SAP Dashboard Design / Xcelsius dashboard.
While creating the webservice connection in the SAP Dashboard Design connection manager, I constantly received the ‘Unable to load URL’ error message.
Some trial and error and SCN searching provided the following solution, which worked immediately:
1. Copy the Webservice URL in your internet brower.
2. Save the web page as a XML file.
3. Open the XML file with notepad.
4. Find the following statement:
<soap:operation style=”document”/>
5. Replace with the following statement:
<soap:operation soapAction=”" style=”document”/>
5. Save the XML file.
6. Open the XML file in your internet browser.
7. Paste the path to the update XML file in the ‘webservice URL connection field, in the connection manager in SAP Dashboard Design
This fixed the issue for me.
Pieter,
I am having the same issue but the proposed solution did not work.
I found this line
Replacing it with yours does not work.
There is the other proposed solution of going through the event viewer log and changing the WSDL URL via trial and error.
“Soap error: Could not find ‘/definitions’ inside the default WSDL namespace.”
Have you seen this before?
Thanks
