Answer

Technote (troubleshooting)


Problem(Abstract)

The AS2 Relationships Test feature attempts to invoke the HTTP OPTIONS method. Some HTTP servers do not support this method and generate return code 501 - HTTP OPTIONS Method not supported.

Symptom

501 HTTP OPTIONS Method not supported.


Cause

Method unsupported by remote HTTP Server

Resolving the problem

Alter the Business Process - TestNowHTTP.

Current logic checks for return 405.

<rule name="has405">
<condition>string(HTTPSessionInfo/ServerResponse/ResponseStatusCode) = '405'</condition>
</rule>

Alter the Business Process to accept the 501 return code as a non error. IBM will not be changing the Business Process. HTTP return codes are subjectively interpreted as an error or not. Customer can alter the Business Process for server specific return codes.
