Unable to log on to update site for NWDS SP09.

I'm having an issue with logging on to the update site in NWDS. Version is 7.1 SP09.

The update site link is set to https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/ce/710/policy.xml.

When I execute the update via

Help --> Software Updates --> Find & install --> Search for new features to install

I select the "Finish" button and in the details popup box I see a message

"Contacting ...... Searching update site".

After a while an error message box pops up with the message:

"Network connection problems encountered during search."

Clicking the "Details" button in the popup box displays the text:

Unable to access "https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/ce/710/policy.xml"
Error parsing site stream. [Premature end of file.]
Premature end of file.
Error parsing site stream. [Premature end of file.]
Premature end of file.

I am able to connect to the URL via a web browser. When I do so, I get a popup login box to enter credentials (S-user ID & password). Once entered, I get the XML document displayed in the browser. My issue seems to be that NWDS suppresses the logon credentials entry box and eventually the update process times out.

There does not seem to be any place in the preferences to enter the logon credentials. We don't use a proxy server, so I have the network connection preferences set to "Direct connection to the Internet".

Anyone have any ideas what the solution is? An earlier post seemed to provide a solution for setting the SSL check-box "on" for the proxy server; however we don't use a proxy server so this option is not available to me.

Regards,

D.

edit SapNetweaverDeveloperStudio.ini in the main folder and add this line :

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreProvider=SunMSCAPI

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=Windows-ROOT

Hi Dorian,

I'm having exactly the same problem. How did you solve it?

I don't have a proxy as I am able to directly connect to the internet. If I enter the update URL in the browser, it shows the policy/the update site without any problems. But somehow NWDS seems to be unable to establish the https connection, as I suspect.

I'm using NWDS 7.1 EHP1 SP9 on Windows 7 (I edited the ini file according to note 1566977).

I would be glad for any hints.

Hi Dorian,

are you sure there is no proxy required?

If you are certain that the network connection is fine you can try to monitor the HTTP traffic using an external tool, to check the response from the server.
