Siebel 7.8 has the concept of inbound and outbound web services which provide a great deal of integration points with the Siebel application. It doesn’t mean that integration is straight forward though. Knowledge of the Siebel data model is a must. One thing that always catches me out when I set up a web service in the Siebel environment is this runtime error which is the fault returned when an operation on the generated WSDL is invoked:
There is no active Web Service with
operation named 'xxx'.
( SBL-EAI-04313 )
( IDS_EAI_WS_OP_NOT_FOUND )
Getting a WS-I compliant web services working is a simple process in the ‘Administration – Web Services’ view:
- Select web service and change status to Active
- Select operation and change binding to ‘SOAP_DOC_LITERAL’
- Click on Generate WSDL button and save the WSDL file
- Click on Clear Cache button.
It’s the ‘Clear Cache’ button step I always forget. Perhaps now that I’ve written about it I won’t forget the next time and I hope you don’t either. However, if you ever come across SBL-EAI-04313 when you try to use a web service for the first time, click on the Clear Cache button before checking anything else.

Hello,I’m working with web services in Siebel Version 7.7.2 and I have a problem when I try to use it. I put all the things i didIn Siebel toolsFirst I created a integration object with the product business component. Then I copied the EAI Siebel Adapter Business services to my project and renamed itI used only two methods (query and insert). I changed the siebelMessage method arg from hierarchy to integration object and put the name of my integration object in the value field.In siebel clientI created a new inbound web services (Active) then i created a new service port with my business serviceport: HTTPhttp://10.80.200.7/eai_anon_enu/start.swe?SWEExtSource=SecureWebService&SWEExtCmd=Execute&UserName=SADMIN&Password=SADMINBinding: SOAP_RPC_ENCODEDI created two operationsInsertQueryI generated the wdsl and imported in my .net project like a service reference. when i try to test it i have an errorSystem.ServiceModel.FaultException : There is no active Web Service with operation named 'http://siebel.com/asi/:Insert'.(SBL-EAI-04313)orSystem.ServiceModel.FaultException : There is no active Web Service with operation named 'http://siebel.com/asi/:Query'.(SBL-EAI-04313)i looked for the error in internet and i saw some blogs (http://blogs.oracle.com/pt/2008/07/siebel_web_service_invocation.html – http://soastation.blogspot.com/2007/05/troubleshooting-siebel-web-services-no.html) that propose to change the binding I did it but i have the same error (I changed to the other two options SOAP_DOC_LITERAL, SOAP_RPC_LITERAL)Please, I need help. I don’t know what more can I do
