============================================================================

The service was created from RRpairs.

Environment

All supported DevTest releases and platforms.

Cause

When you try to hit the live endpoint using a test case its working fine. But, When you set VS to LIVE mode and hit the service , we are getting  : 

 

| Trapped Exception: The live system did not send a response.

| Trapped Message:   java.lang.IllegalStateException: The live system did not send a response.

 

Noticed that the VSI META DATA did not have any header properties. so the authorization was not being sent.  

Resolution

Did a new recording using the Test Case /Soap UI test. We were able to capture the headers in the META DATA

Authorization: BasicXXXX

Content-Type: application/json

 

Deployed the newly created service and changed execution mode to LIVE and we got a valid response
