Exposed Object as a Web Service But Calls Fail with Invalid Operation

TracyGreen — Thu, 13 Oct 2022 19:03:00 GMT

I have an object that I am exposing as a web service. I got the wsdl for the new service and all my operations are there. I created a soap project in SOAPUI and am trying to call an operation and I am getting "Invalid operation" with no other details. Any suggestions on what the problem might be?

Hi Tracy,

The error you're receiving is pretty generic in nature, so some additional stack information (if available) would be helpful for diagnosis.

Also, can you clarify if this issue is occurring in SOAPUI, Blue Prism, or both?

Lastly, reviewing this KB article may be of some assistance as a first step: "How can I use SoapUI to ensure that a SOAP Web Service is working correctly outside of Blue Prism?"

Hello, Tracy,

you need to provide authentication details. Did you set up your credentials as basic in SOAP UI with username and password combination which exists in Blue Prism environment and has got sufficient privileges?

Regards

Hi Steve,
I'm somewhat confused. The only message I get is "Invalid operation". There really isn't a stack. I also can't really see this run in Blue Prism. It's an object that I exposed as a service. The object is set to run in the background. There is nothing else running on the resource machine. Are you saying I should see something running on the resource machine when I make the call? Other than something that something has connected, I'm not seeing anything.

Hi Zdenek,
I do have basic auth set up. I am using a user with admin privileges so it has access to do anything.

I have this working. I needed to look at the raw return in soap ui instead of the xml. That indicated an authentication issue. We use SSO with Active Directory. I was using my user id and password. Documentation mentions that domain must be included. I tried several things, but eventually was in System/Security/Users and used the UPN listed there with my password and it worked.
