• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPRX117 - No portType or more than one portType in WSDL ?

  The SAP error message SPRX117 indicates that there is an issue with the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file being used in your SAP system. Specifically, this error occurs when the WSDL file does not define a single portType or defines multiple portType elements, which can lead to ambiguity in service invocation.
  Cause:
  
  No portType Defined: The WSDL file does not contain any portType definitions, which are necessary for the service to understand how to interact with the web service.
  Multiple portType Definitions: The WSDL file contains more than one portType, which creates confusion about which one should be used for the service call.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SPRX117 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the WSDL File:
  
  Open the WSDL file in a text editor or an XML viewer.
  Look for the <portType> elements. Ensure that there is exactly one <portType> defined.
  
  
  
  Modify the WSDL:
  
  If there are no <portType> elements, you will need to add a valid <portType> definition that describes the operations available in the web service.
  If there are multiple <portType> elements, you will need to consolidate them into a single <portType> or ensure that the correct one is referenced in your SAP configuration.
  
  
  
  Regenerate the WSDL:
  
  If the WSDL is generated by a service provider, contact them to regenerate the WSDL with the correct structure.
  If you have control over the service, update the service implementation to ensure it generates a valid WSDL.
  
  
  
  Test the WSDL:
  
  After making changes, test the WSDL using a tool like SoapUI or Postman to ensure it is valid and behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Update SAP Configuration:
  
  Once the WSDL is corrected, update the relevant configuration in your SAP system to point to the new or corrected WSDL.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  WSDL Structure: Familiarize yourself with the structure of a WSDL file, particularly the <portType>, <binding>, and <service> elements.
  SAP Web Services: Understand how SAP consumes and exposes web services, including the use of SOAMANAGER for managing web service configurations.
  Testing Tools: Use tools like SoapUI or Postman to validate WSDL files and test web service calls.
  
  By ensuring that your WSDL file is correctly structured with a single portType, you should be able to resolve the SPRX117 error and successfully consume the web service in your SAP environment.
