Error Using the WSRP Test Server from the Administration Portal

Question

I study the “Working with the BEA WSRP Test Server” article on dev2dev site(http://dev2dev.bea.com/pub/a/2004/09/wsrp_test_server_at.html), but when I try to add http://wsrp.bea.com/portal/producer?wsdl to Procedures on my localhost Administration Portal(BEA 81 SP3), it give me “Error: Unable to get the Service Description for the provided WSDL URL”. Any idea?

I guess till version 10gr3.1 you only needed to start one server and it allowed to access both admin and service bus console.Yes, in 11g as well you may access the admin and OSB console by just starting the admin server but in 11g OSB configuration gets deployed on OSB server (managed server) and test service also runs over this server.
Are you saying there is some other server I need to start just for running the test console ????Yes. Managed server osb_server1 needs to be started for deploying, testing and accessing OSB resources.
As If the OSB server was not running how can I check my published services, modify them and do all the bits and pieces after opening the open the service bus console but not just test them???You can modify and save your configuration without staring OSB server but if you will check in change centre then all the changes being done without starting OSB server will remain in partially activated state.
I have been using the service bus for 3 years and I have never faced any such issue.With each new release you may get new features and with a major release like 11g, architecture and functionality may change.
If it all there is some other server I need to start then whats the process to do so ??Open command prompt. Navigate to $Domain_Home/bin and run command
startManagedWeblogic.cmd <nameOfManagedServer>
for eg. -
D:\OFMW11g\mw\user_projects\domains\ofmw_domain\bin>startManagedWebLogic.cmd osb_server1
Once this server is up and running, try using test console.
