The error message "Connection reset by peer" appears, if the web services client was waiting for a SOAP response from the remote web services provider and the connection was closed prematurely.

One of the most common causes for this error is a firewall in the middle closing the connection. In this case you could increase the connection timeout in the firewall. You can find the component that closes the connection by capturing and analyzing an IP trace. Other possible causes are e.g.:

•     resource limitations on the server side like out of memory server

•     process killed

•     overload on the server due to a high amount of traffic

 

To determine if a problem is caused by these other possible causes the site error logs should be evaluated on the interface associated with the errors. For information on how and where to access these logs see
