Figure 3:  Specific 404 error in web service testing.

 

If this happens, the following Windows feature should be installed. Note that this feature is needed only if accessing Ecrion Omni System using the Web Services interface (for example from Ecrion BI Studio) but it is not needed in order for Ecrion Omni System itself to function properly.
