Cannot Access Device Tab and Web Service Error

Problem: After installation, you cannot access the Applications > Application Connections tab in SAP Control Center, and the SAP Mobile Server log shows an ADMIN_WEBSERVICE_INVOCATION_ERROR.

Explanation: This may indicate you have a port number conflict for the messaging administration Web services server listener port.

Solution: Change the port number.

  1. Navigate to: SMP_HOME\Servers\MessagingServer\Bin
  2. At the command line, enter:
    AdminWebServicesTool.exe set=<port>

    Where <port> is the new port number. Alternatively, enter this to change the port number and restart the listener using the new number.

    AdminWebServicesTool.exe set=<port> restart
