Issue/Introduction
Symptoms:
- Cannot resolve https://localhost/sdk/reflect-messagetypes.xsd on vCenter Server
- You see a list of these vSphere Web Services SDK WSDL files in vCenter Server:
core-types.xsd
query-messagetypes.xsd
query-types.xsd
vim.wsdl
vim-messagetypes.xsd
vimService.wsdl
vimServiceVersions.xml
vim-types.xsd
Note: By default, these files are located at C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\docRoot\sdk.
- These vSphere Web Services SDK WSDL files are missing:
reflect-messagetypes.xsd
reflect-types.xsd
Environment
VMware vCenter Server 5.0.x
Cause
This issue occurs because vCenter Server 5.0 does not have a complete set of the schema files required when making SOAP calls using the vSphere Web Services SDK WSDL upon installation. As a result, you cannot use the server-based WSDL and SOAP toolkit.
Resolution
To workaround this issue:
- Download the vSphere 5.0 Web Services SDK and unzip the file.
- Navigate to the location where you have unzipped the file.
- Copy the two missing files from VMware-vSphere-SDK-5.0.0-429209\SDK\vsphere-ws\wsdl\vim25\ to C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\docRoot\sdk.
- Try resolving the address in a browser again. For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
-
- <schema targetNamespace="urn:reflect" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:reflect="urn:reflect"<br>xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:vim25="urn:vim25" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<import namespace="urn:vim25" schemaLocation="core-types.xsd" />
<include schemaLocation="reflect-types.xsd" />
</schema>
