JR54120: SLOW RESPONSE ON WSDL QUERY FOR INBOUND WEB SERVICE

Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 7 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• It takes a long time to retrieve a WSDL file for a web service
  when you use the <web service endpoint>?WSDL URL query.
  
  This results in slow REST repsonse on the following REST call
  [10/27/15 12:57:56:268 CDT] 0000017e LoggingUtils  I
  The elapsed time for the following REST request was 98.18
  seconds,
  which exceeds the warning threshold of 60 seconds:
  https://servername:9443/rest/bpm/wle/v1/process
  

Local fix

• The workaround is to save the content of the WSDL
  http://PROCESSSERVER:8080/teamworks/webservices/XYZ/Service?WSDL
  
  in a file on your server - for example create a small
  WAR that contains this file only and install it on the server.
