PI19542: DFHPI0505 THE CICS PIPELINE MANAGER HAS FAILED TO COMMUNICATE WITH A REMOTE SERVER AS NO URI WAS PROVIDED.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are using a CICS requester program that calls a service
  provider to an external platform (Windows).  The service on
  windows is a Windows WCF Services. You want to use WS Atomic
  transaction (WS-AT) for the use of two Phase commit.  The INVOKE
  SERVICE fails because there is no URI supplied resulting in the
  DFHPI0505 message.
  .
  This request failed due to a combination of several factors.
  .
  The first problem is that the namespace prefix used to
  WS-Addressing in the wsdl is "wsa10".  If this prefix was just
  "wsa" then everything would have worked.  This is because when
  DFHPISH calls DFHWSADH it adds the WS-Addressing namespace to
  the DFHWS-XMLNS container using a prefix of "wsa".  When
  processing reaches DFHPIA1 it scans through the DFHWS-XMLNS
  container looking for any addressing namespace and saves the
  prefix it finds.  This prefix is then used to process the
  endpoint reference that was stored in the WSBIND file.
  As the wrong prefix is used the endpoint reference is not
  processed correctly and a corrupted <To> element is created.
  The DFHWS-URI container is also replaced with an empty URI
  which causes the INVOKE to fail.

Local fix

• Changing the wsdl to specify "wsa" instead of "wsa10" and
  regenerating the WSBIND file should make things work.

  ****************************************************************
  CICS acted as a web service requester to invoke a service using
  WS-Addressing. The prefix of the namespace for WS-Addressing in
  WSDL was not 'wsa'.
  DFHPIA1 was always using 'wsa' as the namespace prefix to
  search and extract the <Address> element from wsbind file and
  build <To> element. Due to mismatched prefix used for searching,
  <To> element was built incorrectly and DFHWS-URI container was
  cleaned unexpectedly. So the INVOKE SERVICE failed because there
  was no URI supplied resulting in the DFHPI0505 message.

Problem conclusion

• DFHPISH has been changed to put the namespace value to a
  separate container instead of DFHWS-XMLNS container.
  DFHPIA1 has been changed to abstract <Address> element in a new
  way which is independent of the namespace prefix and then put
  the namespace back to DFHWS-XMLNS container in case there is
  no xmlns definition for 'wsa' is already specified.
