Incorrect packet format, calling SAP service from C# with WSDL file

I am attempting to call a SAP service using a WSDL file provided to me. I am getting this error:

Unexpected Packet Format

I have tested the service using SOAPUI and everything is working from there. When I call the service from my C# application I get the error referenced above.

Relative Information

  • Service is provided from SAP
  • Service was imported using a .WSDL file
  • Testing inside Console Application
  • I have tested other services provided by my SAP group that worked just fine.

Code

ZPC_DROP_DOWN_VALUESClient client = new ZPC_DROP_DOWN_VALUESClient();
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "ERICO";
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "Password";
ZpcDropDownValues vals = new ZpcDropDownValues();
vals.Uom = "X";
ZpcDropDownValuesResponse Response = new ZpcDropDownValuesResponse();            

try
{
    Response = client.ZpcDropDownValues(vals);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
Console.ReadKey();

Here is the stack trace:

System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException: There was no endpoint listening at https://r3snd.yaskawa.com:8000/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/zpc_drop_down_values/410/zpc_drop_down_values/zpc_drop_down_values that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action.

I am not sure what the issue is. This service was provided to me for testing/learning purposes so I could start learning how to use their services. Is there some kind of setting I am not aware of?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Not sure if I need to set the timeout to be longer or something along those lines. I have looked everywhere for an answer and it seems this is a case by case issue.

Solution

  • Alright I figured out the issue. Originally when testing this application the request was actually sent to me as an Http request.

    Endpoint in App.Config

    <endpoint address="http://R3SND.yaskawa.com:8000/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/zpc_drop_down_values/410/zpc_drop_down_values/zpc_drop_down_values"
            binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="ZPC_DROP_DOWN_VALUES"
            contract="TableReference.ZPC_DROP_DOWN_VALUES" name="ZPC_DROP_DOWN_VALUES" />

    When I tried the application I got an error that said "Invalid URI Http, Https expected". Not quite knowing what was going on I changed my endpoint address to Https instead of Http. That is where the referenced error above happened.

    While messing around I changed it back to Http and realized the error was being thrown because I was using HttpsTransport instead of HttpTransport.

    Https Transport

    <httpsTransport authenticationScheme="Basic" />

    Http Transport(correct one)

    <httpTransport authenticationScheme="Basic" />

    I hope this can help someone else down the line because it was driving me insane!

    Thank you all for looking at my question.
