Summary :
In the SAP NetWeaver Administrator's Log Viewer, users may encounter errors such as "Connection refused" and warnings indicating "Log files are not loaded yet. Press Refresh after a short time." These issues stem from security enhancements in AS Java 7.31, where the “service/protectedwebmethods” property in the default profile was changed to increase security, restricting unauthenticated access to certain web methods. These methods include ListLogFiles and ReadLogFile, which are essential for the Log Viewer tool. A Java standalone web service proxy, now equipped with the right authentication credentials, addresses these restrictions to allow proper log viewing. Review SAP Notes 1439348 and 927637 for further resolution.
