Symptom
- In absl, the web service response exposes only “Application Error” instead of the detailed fault information.
- The same SOAP request in SOAP UI returns detailed fault elements.
Environment
- SAP Business ByDesign
- SAP Cloud Applications Studio
Reproducing the Issue
- Use the same payload with SOAP UI, importing the standard WSDL ManageSiteLogisticsTaskIn via Communication Arrangements.
- From a custom UI or action, run an ABSL implementation that calls the custom service.
- Inspect the absl response structure (for example, Response->Item->Note): it shows “Application Error”.
Cause
The detailed fault elements from the standard SOAP service are not exposed through the SDK/PDI response mapping to absl. In scenarios such as faults with multiple parts or SDK timeout handling, the response is mapped to the generic “Application Error”.
Resolution
Development team confirmed this feature is currently not supported.
