Help with alternative URL for service endpoint

I'm trying to define a WSDL service that is behind a firewall/load balancer.   By default, the wsdl service-endpoint is defined using the same URL prefix as the wsdl page itself.  (e.g https://virtual_servicename...)  However, we need to have the service endpoint use a different prefix as it does get converted by the load-balancer.  (i.e. a firewall rule passes the traffic between the real host names, no virtual address is used)
Question 1) -- should I be using the transport settings tab in SOAMANAGER config to create an Alternative Access URL for Transport Binding?   (I'm not sure transport binding and service endpoint are the same thing.)
If yes to Q. 1, then question 2) -- when I attempt to create an entry in this area using the correct URL, it ends with the following error:  "SRT Framework exception: ICF: Error when creating alias node. Unknown"  
Any pointers what alias node is needed and where to defined it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Joseph,
CHECK THE BELOW
GOTO TCODE: SICF
EXECUTE->SELECT DEFAULT HOST->SAP->BC->SRT->RFC->SAP----HERE YOUR WEBSERVICE PATH , SO THAT YOU HAVE TO GET EVERY TREE PATH SHOULD ENABLE AND ACTIVE IN MENTION ABOVE. OTHERWISE U CANT ACTIVE THE BINDING AND CANT CREATE THE LINK.
GET THE ACCESS FROM THE BASIS FOR YOUR USERNAME AND YOU ABLE TO DO THE CONFIGURATION .
PLEASE REVERT IF ANY DOUBT

  • SOAMANAGER - Alternative URLs for WSDLs and Endpoints  in ECC

    Hi All,
    We are publishing enterprise services using SOAMANGER transaction in ECC system. In
    our development environments we have no problem with the process.
    However in our cert and production environments we have loadbalancers,
    with SSL offload, and so both port and URLs for the endpoints and WSDLs
    need to reflect the different port/url introduced via our loadbalancer
    and SAP web-dispatchers.
    We have looked at note 11325985, which provides good guidance - however
    when we use the alternative host / port as described on page 2 of the
    note the service cannot be saved and activated -
    Steps for Reconstruction
    Run Transaction SOAMANAGER in one of our ECC systems SED/SEQ/SEP
    Activate a standard SAP enterprise service, i.e
    ECC_CUSTBASICDATABYIDQR_V2
    In the Transport Settings tab of the Configuration of Web Service we
    enter alternative URL - our load balancers URL for cert is
    erp.XXX.com and for prod erp.XXX.com. When we save the
    service it produces the following error ( when we don't specify an
    alternative Access URL there is no error;
    ERROR: ICF: Error when creating alias node: rc: unknown nMethod:
    Alias Create; return code 15

    Regards,

    1-Use the Tx: SRT_TOOLS
    2-Double-click on "Display of Extended Service in Current Client Configurations"
    3-Complete the "Configuration Name" with the name of the endpoint / service
    4-Click on run
    5-Double-click on the "Configuration Name" found in the left tree
    6-You will obtain the url you are looking for without using the SOAMANAGER

  • Help with Simple Applescript for Midipipe

    Hey all, I'm in desperate need of help with some Applescript for use in a program called Midipipe:
    http://web.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/MidiPipe.html
    I simply require an Applescript for Midipipe that filters out all OFF notes except for the most recently pressed key, or most recently pressed ON note. So for example, when multiple keys have been pressed, only the most recently pressed key will send an OFF note. I hope that is clear enough, i've had some major issues trying to get this work and my last hope is to hit the forums and find some help .. I've posted on some of the audio forums and i'm hoping someone here knows how to code this.
    Thanks so much!! .. Its for an upcomming show next week so i'm hoping someone can get me in the right direction to solving this.
    -Jes

    I try to help, but you'll need to apply your brain cells to get it working with what I've already explained (three times with what I offer below).  Try something like the following (I am renaming your buttons to ch1,ch2,ch3,ch4,ch5,ch6 so that the same functions can be shared by all buttons...
    // this assigns listeners to all 6 buttons
    for(var i:uint=1; i<7; i++){
              this["ch"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToSeekToCuePoint);
    // this processes any one of the 6 btns when they are clicked
    function fl_ClickToSeekToCuePoint_1(event:MouseEvent):void
        var btn = event.currentTarget;
        var cuePointInstance:Object = vid.findCuePoint(btn.name);
        vid.seek(cuePointInstance.time);
       resetButtons();    // this makes all buttons go back to normal
        btn.upState = btn.overState; // this makes the clicked button change states
    function resetButtons():void {
         for(var i:uint=1; i<7; i++){
              this["ch"+String(i)].upState =  this["ch"+String(i)].hitTestState;
    For this to work, your buttons need to have the same artwork in the hit frame as they do in the up frame.

  • Please help with RMAN dup for RAC db

    Happy Holidays!! All,
    I need help with the following issue:
    Both target and auxiliary databases are:
    Database version is 10.2.0.3 with 2-node RAC db
    Servers are MS 2003
    Oracle Clusterware 10.2.0.3
    Oracle ASM for storage
    I have run the rman dup from RAC to a single instance db for a while. This is the first time I ran from RAC to RAC. This auxiliary db was refreshed before and was up for a while and was managed by server control tool. Now I am trying to refresh it with new backup files from production. I did the following as people suggested:
    1)     shutdown instance in the second node.
    2)     Startup nomount mode in the first node
    3)     Run RMAN dup
    It failed in the same place with slightly different errors. I pasted error messages at the bottom. I already created a TAR with Oracle but would like to know if anybody has any info related to this. Also I have several questions to ask:
    1)     Should I stop all services related to Oracle in node-2
    2)     Should I stop all clustware related services in node-1 except oracleCSServie since ASM uses it?
    3)     Is there any way I can finish the dup manually from the place I failed? What going to happen if I don’t finish the rest of the dup and go ahead with “alter database open resetlogs”?
    4)     How do I remove the database from under Server control – I already run “srvctl remove database -d atlrac” successfully. Is this all?
    Thanks a lot for your help and have a great holiday season!!!
    First time run:
    contents of Memory Script:

    1) Should I stop all services related to Oracle in node-2
    No, you just need to stop the second instance.
    2) Should I stop all clustware related services in node-1 except oracleCSServie since ASM uses it?
    No, you don't need to stop anything. Just have the instance startup nomount.
    3) Is there any way I can finish the dup manually from the place I failed? What going to happen if I don’t finish the rest of the dup and go ahead with “alter database open resetlogs”?
    You have not shown enough information. Did the restore succeed ? Did the recover succeed ? What was it doing when it failed ?
    4) How do I remove the database from under Server control – I already run “srvctl remove database -d atlrac” successfully. Is this all?
    Yes, srvctl remove database is all you need. (unless you also want to remove from listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, oratab etc)

    Thanks for the question.
    You can get your APN settings from your network service provider, also make sure you have a BlackBerry data plan.  
    Let me know if you have any more questions.

  • Help with print settings for Panoramas

    Hi,
    I use an Epson 2880 and I am trying to figure out the print settings for doing an 11 x 34in panorama print on 13" roll paper from Aperture 3.0.3. I finally got it to do one print properly, but the setup was totally counter intuitive and I can't reproduce it. I tried using "Custom" Paper size and setting it to 13" x 36", then using the landscape mode and setting the Image Size to 11 x 34". Any way I did this ended up with the image printing the wrong way on the paper. So I went back and picked "Roll" paper. This leaves only one field to fill in, which I presume is the paper width (it really didn't make this obvious in the dialogue.). Then I set the mode to Portrait, and made sure that the settings for the Image size were 11 x 34. It then printed fine. But when I went back to print another file, even though I had saved the settings, now I am presented with only one box for specifying the Image Size and there is no way to get it right again. HELP! The settings for this kind of print in Photoshop is also counterintuitive, but when you get it set right, and you know the settings, no problem reproducing it. I think maybe there is a bug in AP3 with regard to this sort of setup.

  • Help with SQL Server 2005 http Endpoint

    I am trying to use mx:webservice to directly connect to a SQL
    Server 2005 HTTP Endpoint. Is this possible. Is there going to be a
    problem with crossdomain issues? If the Endpoint is actively
    listening on port 80 then IIS cannot. So I cannot place
    crossdomain.xml in webserver, how will I overcome this crossdomain
    problem? Am I making this more complicated than it is? If anyone
    has an example it would be appreciated. All I want is a flex2 app
    talking directly to sql server. Seems possible.

    Kent, I see that many others have reported that error (doing
    a google search), but I see no ready answers. I saw something that
    reminded me of a connection string value that I've seen answer some
    problems. May be worth a shot for you: try adding this string to
    the connection string (in "advanced options") for your datasource:
    AuthenticationMethod=Type2
    If it doesn't solve it, remove it. But keep it handy in case
    it ever may help with some other problem.
    Here's one other possible answer for you:

For example, if I had no idea how to test whether a file exists, I would just scan the big list of classes on the left for names that sound like they might include File operations. Hey look, File! Then I'd look at all of File's methods for something that tests whether it exists or not. Hey, exists! Then if I still couldn't figure out how to use it, I'd do a google search on that particular method.

  • Help with system upgrade for CS6

    Hello. I am hoping you can give me some advice on what to do (or buy) to improve my video editing system.  I am a bit of novice when it comes to the technical/hardware end of things and I’m having some issues with my current system. 
    I working in Adobe CS6 Master Suite on a Windows 7 Ultimate PC.  I mainly use Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Audition.  I create very complete animations and videos with many layers and effects (via Boris & Red Giant).  I also use Skype to record group video calls (with the program Evaer) for a reality T.V. recap show which I also edit with my Adobe suite.  However I have two main problems.
    When I render out a 20 minute premier pro project (with several HD video layers and effects) it takes almost 13 hours.  It seems like this is very long considering my high end components, and set up.  For example I run ONLY my OS off an SSD.  My programs are on another SSD.  The files I use for the video are on another HDD, and I render to another HDD.  I was told by keeping all the aspects on separate hard drives it would speed everything up.  Is that true?  I also am now reading that rendering to a SSD would speed things up.  Should I consider changing my workflow/hard drive set up that way? 
    My other problem is that when I record my Skype group calls of 4 people (with Evaer) to my SSD the audio is always off when I bring it into Premiere.  I don’t know if this is a problem with Evaer, a codec (it records it as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Codec.  At 1280 X 720 and 30fps), that SSDs auto compress files, or that my system just cant handle it.  Plus Soundblaster & Nvida both seem to active as audio features on my system I don’t know if that effects anything.  Is there any advice any of you have on this issue as well?  Perhaps another program to record skype or group calls?
    Finally… all that aside.  Considering the work I am doing should I just upgrade my system to a better Mobo and graphics card.  I see a lot of people are recommending a dual processor work station.  If so what is a good motherboard, and processor(s) I should get if I build my own workstation?  I have about $4000.00 I could invest in building one if you think would greatly improve my work flow and render times.  I also have a quadro k5000 on the way, and id like to be able to use the memory I have already.
    I realize I am asking a lot of questions.  I would truly appreciate any help, advice or just a point in the right direction.  I have included my current system specs below incase that helps with any of my questions.  If you have any other questions or need more information just let me know.  Thank you again in advance for any help you can provide.

    Eric,
    I would hardly call the Quadro card an upgrade to a GTX 680!
    Regarding getting more speed from a faster MB / CPU, since you already have a 6-core rig with 24GB of RAM I would think that any gains you would get would not be that dramatic.
    Check out your cpu usage (Task manager) and see how busy your cores are during a test render. I am guessing that the Boris and / or Red Giant effects could be jumping your projects from gaining the full multi-core capabilities of the Adobe software.
    Regards,
    Jim

  • Need help with calculator project for an assignment...

    Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
    Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
    """Create a console calculator applicaion that:
    * Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
    program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
    user.
    * Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
    the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
    Math class.
    -Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
    truncate it.
    -When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
    operation.
    -Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
    * Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
    only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
    wrapper classes to help you.
    * Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
    hex numbers.
    * Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
    program when entering a certain option.
    * When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
    current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
    program.
    * Make use of helper classes where possible.
    * Use the SDK to run your program."""
    When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
    when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
    Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??
    Here is the programs code that I've written so far:

    Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??You cannot restrict the user. It is a sad fact in programming that the worst bug always sits in front of the Computer.
    What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
    AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name.

  • Please help with the URL class

    Hello,
    I am trying to write a Java app that will take a url and download it.
    I believe you can do this with the URL class but I don't understand how to. For example, if the http url location points to a picture file, how would I code the app to retrieve this picture and save it to a specified directory?
    Also, is there a way that my java app could open another program, let's say Microsoft Internet Explorer?
    Please be as specific as possible, thanks!

    You'll see below an example to download a file
    private static String copyFile (String url, String nomFichier){
         // construction du fichier de sortie
         File outputFile = new File(repertoire + "\\fichiers\\" + nomFichier);
         // si le fichier existe d�j�, il ne sert � rien de le t�l�charger !
    if (outputFile.exists())

  • Help with starting a Warranty service on a Quadro k4000 c2j94at

    I'm trying to get a replacement Video Card, because mine failed two days after I plugged it in. I would have returned it to the online store where I purchasing it, but it took 2 months to assembly the custom built computer. So now I trying to deal with getting HP to acknowledge that they own the warranty service on this product that has their name all over it. I've managed to verify my warrenty on the HP warranty check site, and it comes up just fine. I've got a screen shot with the product number and serial number saying it's covered until 2017-04-08, but when trying to link this under "Contracts and Warranties" it fails to find my serial number and product number.
    I've tried multiple times to contact HP service by phone and chat, but I've been hung up on 3 times and endlessly transfered and hung up on, and every support rep. just says it's not my problem, or  "I don't know what a Graphics Card is, sir", or "what computer is this in?".  I've got a $1000 dollar piece of junk on my desk, and my machine is running on some $20 video card that just doesn't cut it.
    Does anybody know how to get through to HP service? How do I contact someone who deals with individual sold hardware computer components? Apparently there's a forum for Hardware, but is there a phone number for service?
