Recently with one of my client BI4 implementations I’ve been doing a lot of patch upgrades and external application installations (ie: explorer).

Apparently it seems whenever some sort of upgrade is done on the server, some of the existing BI Web Services stop working.

For example the definition from the BI service gives the following error when I open it up in Internet Explorer

WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Problem parsing ‘- WSDL Document -‘.: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Premature end of file.

The WSDL url gives the following error

The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

The cause of the problem comes from the fact that the qaawsWSDL.zip somehow gets corrupted and that’s the file that holds all the WSDL information.

To re-generate all the WSDLs you can simply visit http://<hostname>: <port>/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/wsdlGenerator

It’s definitely a neat little hidden feature that has made me happy 🙂
