Hi All,

I am working to test web service call from CICS as a requester.

It's failing with return code 4 which state - The value specified for the URI contained an illegal character or combination of characters, or the specified host name could not be resolved.

I tested same WSDL with SOAPUI testing tool (provide capability to call and test web service)and its work fine. This is to prove that WSDL, path etc details are fine.

I have documented(also attached here) all steps that I followed along with WSDL & program. Would be great if anyone can provide any pointer.

How are you using SOAPUI if CICS is the requestor?

Have you looked in CEEMSG and MSGUSR logs in CICS?

You do know path definition is case sensitive?

Have you tried it without using RDZ?

Have you installed SNIFFER?

Your URIMAP shows usage is PIPELINE, which is usually for a web service provider, but a web service provider usually has a generated $name.
