SOAMANAGER ping webservice consumer error: CM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED

Hi

I have created a webservice consumer proxy class and have now configurated its logical port in SOAMANAGER.

When configuration is done, saved and logical port is activated a button appears where u can 'Ping Web Service'

I did that and get the errror:  SRT Framework exception: Service Ping ERROR: Error when calling SOAP runtime functions ICR error when receiving the response: ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED.

The issue is that SOAMANAGER did not generate a HTTP RFC connection for the Logical Port on the ERP system i transaction SM59. Why is that missing?

Thank and best regards
