SAP Note 517484 - Inactive services in the Internet Communication Framework

Component : Internet Communication Framework -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/517484 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
After installing the SAP Web Application Server, Internet Communication Framework (ICF) services are initially inactive for security purposes. Users must manually activate necessary services using transaction SICF. Inactive services display a 'Forbidden' error in browsers or an ICF_ERROR when testing Web services via WSADMIN. Activation involves selecting the intended service in the ICF tree of SICF and using either menu options or context menu to activate it. It is crucial to activate service nodes like "default_host" including subnodes for specific functions to ensure operability and access to services such as HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, and others. SAP notes suggest specific SAPKB support package updates for ongoing issue resolution.
