Can you please explain me what could be the error.

Thank,

Hi,

The error occurred in the target SOAP application during the processing of the SOAP method which you invoked by your SOAP reciver comm channel...........so ask your target application to check their source code to see why this error is occurring by taking your SOAP response msg as input in their SOAP method........i think the error is because the SOAP application is trying to write the log in 'D:\Logs\Interface\ErrorLog.log' file but it is used by another msg processing also either by this application or some other application due to concurrent processing of these msgs in the receiver SOAP IIS server.

see that you have specified the SOAP action and URL correctly in the receiver SOAP adapter

Hi!

--> Are you working on PI 7.1 version or XI 3.0 version if it is PI 7.1 means first check whether your

Webservice is configured directly in the Service Registry or not ? If yes also check whether your target

SOAP application is down or up. Also activate the SOAP service in the Tcode SICF>Services>SAP--

>BC-->SOAP.

--> Also check whether SOAP Action given in the Receiver SOAP Adapter and also the target URL are corerct or not ?

Also check your SOAP receiver business system or CC is by default Deactive i.e., down or up.I mean whether scheduled or not ?If yes open the service and also stop the SOAP CC once and again start and keep the mode as autmatic control

Looks like some lock has been taken by anothe application/process on the log file as a result XI IE is not able to acces that

by the way did you specify that or the process itself trying to write into that file
