"Exception in web service communication" when trying to register system

Hello,

I've tried several versions of update manager, including the

version provided by patch 121453-02, to register our systems.

It never worked.

When I last tried, I used the CLI, using this RegistrationProfile.properties (comments from template removed):

<->8-->8>

userName=<myemailaddress>

password=<mypassword>

hostName=

subscriptionKey=

portalEnabled=false

proxyHostName=************

proxyPort=81

proxyUserName=

proxyPassword=

<->8-->8>

The command line looked like this:

<->8-->8>

sconadm register -a -r /export/home/root/RegistrationProfile.properties -p proxy.**.*******.**:81 -l /tmp/sconreg

<->8-->8>

This was the output I get:

<->8-->8>

sconadm is running

Authenticating user ...

Exception in web service communication

<->8-->8>

The command hang for two hours.

Immediatly after running the command, this was logged in the

logfile:

<->8-->8>

02.01.2006 16:05:41 com.sun.cns.basicreg.BasicRegCLI printRegistrationProfile

I rebooted the system after installing the latest version.

I've noticed some people solved such problems by backing out

some patches, but after investigating the problems for lots of time,

I've still not managed to get it working.

As an alternative to rebooting the system, the readme of above

patch recommends to restart a daemon. When I execute the

command

<->8-->8>

/usr/lib/cc-cfw/framework/lib/cc-client-adm start

<->8-->8>

this is the result:

<->8-->8>

Starting the components of the service platform.

Looking up the start entries in /usr/lib/cc-cfw/platform

Invoking the script /usr/lib/cc-cfw/platform/transport/start

ERROR : CNS Transport is not properly enabled. Cannot find /etc/init.d/cc-transport

So maybe, there's something messed up.

Any hints?

Check the Firewall or proxy options in your system. It may cause some harm like this ..possible of throwing web service communication error. Also check with the end points configured in Properties file.
