Is there a Essbase Web services - Part 2

In the previous post Is there a Essbase Web services -Part 1, I did talk about invoking the Essbase Web services & during the task I did encountered issues and would like to post the solution along with the issues I have encountered.

Issue on a distributed instance:

Once the WSDL is enabled to true in the http:WeblogicAdminServer:7001/em and disabling the OWSM authentication by adding the flag “essbase.webservices.disable.owsm=true”

To the file essbsae.properties









I was getting this error message, while invoking the web services
