Symptom
• Message fails in CPI with AhcOperationFailedException
• HTTP 405 – Method Not Allowed returned while calling customer callback URL
• No successful response from external system
• Message processing stops at the receiver communication step.
• Error logs show response code 405 from the target endpoint.
• Callback requests are rejected immediately by the target server.
• Multiple message retries, if configured, fail with the same error.
• No business document or payload is processed in the customer system.
• Traceability Hub events remain incomplete due to callback failure.
• The endpoint is reachable, but the requested HTTP method is not accepted.
• Integration flow execution fails despite successful authentication and network connectivity.

Environment
SAP Traceability Hub
Cause
HTTP 405 indicates multiple possible reasons for failure:
• Incorrect HTTP method used (GET/POST/PUT mismatch)
• Customer callback URL does not support the invoked method
• Incorrect or incomplete endpoint/resource path
• Missing or incorrect HTTP headers
• API gateway or server restrictions blocking the method
• Authentication/authorization misconfiguration leading to method rejection
• Incorrect payload format for the selected method
Resolution
- Check CPI message/service logs for request details
- Share logs with customer for validation
- Verify supported HTTP methods in customer API documentation
- Validate callback URL, headers, and payload structure
- Review customer web service logs for detailed root cause
- Correct HTTP method/configuration and redeploy iFlow
