Environment

OS Version: N/A

Cause

Cause type:
Other
Root Cause: RA WebService Agent v3 uses Axis2 framework that causes problems with correct WSDL parsing.

Resolution

Update to a fix version listed below or a newer version if available.To avoid WSDL parsing issues caused by the Axis2 framework, use either:

1. The RA SOAP Web Service v4.0 Agent, which is based on different libraries and uses CXF for SOAP jobs rather than Axis2.

Or

2. Use the RA SOAP Web Service Solution v4.1 Agent that is not dependant upon any framework because it uses a native mode.

Fix Status: Released

Fix Version(s):
Automation Engine v12.0.0 - Available
RA Web Service SOAP v4.1.0 - Available
RA Web Service SOAP v4.0.0 - Available

Additional Information

Workaround :
Use an alternative tool like Microsoft's Web Services Description Language Tool (Wsdl.exe).
