Pinging web service - not happening

Hi Experts,

  I created a consumer proxy using WSDL local file and create a logical port in SOAMANAGER.

But, if I try to ping the web service from SOAMANAGER using the logical port that I created, I am getting the

following exception.

SRT Framework exception: Service Ping ERROR: Error when calling SOAP Runtime functions: SRT: Processing error in Internet Communication Framework: ("ICF Error when receiving the response: ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED")

Should I do any config change in SICF / Anything else?

Could you please help on this regard.

Thanks and regards,

Venkat
