Use this set of specific tips to help you troubleshoot problems you experience with service integration bus-enabled web services.
To
help you identify and resolve bus-enabled
web services problems, use the WebSphere® Application Server trace
and logging facilities as described in Setting up component trace (CTRACE).
To enable trace for bus-enabled web services, set the application server trace string to com.ibm.ws.sib.webservices.*=all=enabled. If you encounter a problem that you think might be related to bus-enabled web services, you can check for error messages in the WebSphere Application Server administrative console, and in the application server SystemOut.log file. You can also enable the application server debug trace to provide a detailed exception dump.
A list of the main known restrictions that apply when using bus-enabled web services is provided in Bus-enabled web services: Known restrictions.
WebSphere Application Server system messages are logged from a variety of sources, including application server components and applications. Messages logged by application server components and associated IBM products start with a unique message identifier that indicates the component or application that issued the message. The prefix for the bus-enabled web services component is CWSWS.
The topic Messages contains information about all WebSphere Application Server messages, indexed by message prefix. For each message there is an explanation of the problem, and details of any action that you can take to resolve the problem.
CWSIV0801E: The exception javax.resource.ResourceException:

By default, the bus-enabled web services component can connect to a secure bus destination through the service integration resource adapter. Therefore the configuration must have been changed in some way.
You can override this default configuration by defining an authentication alias that the service integration resource adapter uses to access the bus. For more information, see Overriding the default security configuration between bus-enabled web services and a secure bus.
For detailed information about the default configuration, and the effect of modifying or overriding this configuration, see Bus-enabled web services default configuration for accessing a secure bus.
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Socket operation timed out before it could be completed
The default timeout value is 60 seconds, so this error occurs if the target web service takes longer than 60 seconds to respond. You can increase the timeout value by setting a timeout custom property on the inbound port as described in Inbound Ports [Settings].
However if you do have to manually install one of these applications, you can do so by using the supplied sibwsInstall.jacl script, and following the instructions given in the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.x topic: Installing the bus-enabled web services applications and resources
You have a client application that works under WebSphere Application Server Version 5.1, but in later versions you get problems caused by poorly-formed requests or responses.
Bus-enabled web services check the validity of web service messages more thoroughly than is done in WebSphere Application Server Version 5.1. As a result, some client applications that use poorly-formed requests or responses (where the message parts are misnamed), and that work when using Version 5.1, are identified as poorly-formed in later versions. For the steps to take to resolve the problem, see Toleration of poorly-formed SOAP messages
A JAX-RPC client running on WebSphere Application Server Version 5.1 uses SOAP over JMS to invoke a web service running on a Version 5 application server. No user ID or password is required on the target MQ Series queue. After the application server is migrated to a later version, and to use default messaging, client requests fail because basic authentication is now enabled.
SibMessage W [:] CWSIT0009W: A client request failed in the
application server with endpoint <endpoint_name> in bus your_bus
with reason: CWSIT0016E: The user ID null failed authentication
in bus your_bus.
For the steps to take to resolve the problem, see the following service integration technologies troubleshooting tip: Migrating a Version 5.1 application server to WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 or later
You unsuccessfully attempt to create an Informix® database for use with the SDO repository, and receive the message No Transaction Isolation on non-logging databases.
If No Transaction Isolation on non-logging databases. is displayed as part of an exception message, it is because logging is disabled on the Informix database being used. To use an Informix database with the SDO repository, you must enable logging.

You have an inbound service that, according to the administrative console, is published to a UDDI registry. When you check the UDDI registry you discover that the service is not listed there. When you attempt to use the administrative console to republish the service to UDDI, the attempt is unsuccessful.
The service was published to the UDDI registry, and the service configuration shown in the WebSphere Application Server administrative console includes a UDDI Service Key, but the service has subsequently been unpublished from UDDI without the corresponding update being applied to the WebSphere Application Server master configuration. One way in which this situation can arise is if you use the administrative console to delete an inbound service that is published to a UDDI registry, then log out of the administrative console without saving your changes. In this case, the service is unpublished from the UDDI registry, but not deleted from WebSphere Application Server (because the delete request is not confirmed, and therefore is not applied).
If the bus needs to pass messages through an authenticating proxy server to retrieve WSDL documents, then you must use command-line tools to retrieve the WSDL.
If you are using JMS to connect to a remote bus, extra configuration is required to allow web service clients to connect to the bus.
A web service client application running in a server that is a member of a bus can locate a messaging engine in that bus. A web service client application running outside of an application server - for example, running outside the WebSphere Application Server environment - cannot locate directly a suitable messaging engine to connect to in the target bus. Similarly, a web service client application running on a server in one cell that needs to connect to a target bus in another cell cannot locate directly a suitable messaging engine to connect to in the target bus.
To enable the web service client application to contact a target messaging engine in a remote bus, configure the JMS connection factory that the client uses so that the client can connect to a bootstrap messaging engine in the remote bus. The bootstrap messaging engine then identifies the target engine, and the information required to access the target engine is passed back to the client. For the bootstrap process to be possible, configure one or more provider end points in the connection factory used by the client. For more information, see Configuring connection to a non-default bootstrap server.
You pass a large attachment through the service integration bus and you get an out-of-memory error in the Java virtual machine.
If this error occurs, increase the heap size as described in Tuning bus-enabled web services.
When you try to create a new endpoint listener configuration by using the administrative console, and click New on the endpoint listener collection panel, the "Please wait" icon is displayed but the target panel does not appear.
This problem is only found with older versions of the Mozilla web browser. Upgrade your browser to Version 1.4 or later. As a workaround, click New a second time and the target panel is displayed.
When you try to create a new inbound service through the administrative console, the drop-down list of destinations is empty and the wizard stops you at step 1 with the error message A destination must be selected.
This can only happen if there is no messaging engine on the service integration bus on which you are creating your inbound service. Create a messaging engine, then create a service destination, then re-run the wizard to create a new inbound service configuration.
You are trying to send a SOAP over HTTPS message, and you are receiving a Malformed URLException error.
The service integration technologies can use Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) to invoke external web services that include https:// in their addresses. For more information see Invoking outbound services over HTTPS.
You get JNDI lookup errors when you use the same names for JMS messaging queues and queue connection factories that run on application servers on different machines.
You must not use the same names for messaging queues and queue connection factories that run on application servers on different machines, because the service integration technologies always look first for JMS destinations locally, and only use the full JNDI reference if they cannot find the destination locally. If you configure as an outbound service a web service that is hosted on a remote machine, and you use the same names for messaging queues and queue connection factories on the remote machine and on the machine on which the outbound service is hosted, then the service integration technologies find and use the local queues even if the remote JNDI destination is provided in full in the WSDL service definition.
You are password-protecting a web service operation, but when you install the sibwsauthbean.ear file, an error message is displayed in the WebSphere Application Server administrative console detailing a Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) problem.
When you password-protect a web service operation, check that you enter, in the "EJB References" for the authorization session bean, the correct JNDI name of the imported web service enterprise bean. Note that this home is case sensitive.
You are getting SOAP fault messages, but cannot determine the precise problem from the fault message.
<faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Client</faultcode>
<faultstring>1.1</faultstring>
This message is consistent with Apache SOAP behavior, and is not correctable by bus-enabled web services.
As with any synchronous endpoint listener, timeout errors can occur. To minimize the frequency of timeout errors, increase the timeout settings for the endpoint listener. If the problem persists, then disable trace and logging for service integration technologies by setting the application server trace string to com.ibm.ws.sib.webservices.*=all=disabled.
