INFA_Problem_Description
Attempting
to import a Salesforce objects in the Designer the following error occurs: Login
failed. Error code: [SOAP-ENV : Client] Reason : [No Data]
Cause :
This
issue will occur if your network resides in a proxy and proxy information is
not configured.
Solution :
To
resolve this issue create the pmsfdc.ini file with the correct proxy server
information. If the network resides in a proxy environment, the proxy
information should be configured in pmsfdc.ini. Please follow the below steps: To
configure HTTP proxy options for the PowerCenter Client, do the following:
1. Create the pmsfdc.ini file in the
<PowerCenter Client>\bin directory.
2. Add the following parameters:
* ProxyHost
* ProxyPort
* ProxyUser
* ProxyPassword
Example
ProxyHost=abc123.informatica.com
ProxyPort=8082
ProxyUser=admin
ProxyPassword=password123
More Information :
To
determine the proxy server setting refer to the LAN settings in Internet
Explorer (Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings >
Proxy Server) and use that in the pmsfdc.ini file.
Problem Description 3 :
Following error occurred when importing a Salesforce.com object in the Power Center Designer, While user we were successfully able to connect to SFDC URL & able to login through Internet Explorer.
ERROR :
DescribeGlobal failed. Error code: [SOAP-ENV:Server] Reason:
[HTTP error]
Solution :
This is due to the mismatch between the entries in pmsfdc.ini
file on the client machine, proxy host server from IE should match proxy
details in the pmsfdc.ini file. Bex you were able to connect from IE to
salesforce, The proxy user & proxy password in pmsfdc.ini file have
some vulnerability in connecting to proxy server, hence it’s not routing the
request to sfdc server. In that case you need to ask the network access team
saying whether the credentials are perfect or not.
