Receiver SOAP channel error: Communication over HTTPS. Unable to create a socket

Hi,

I am getting following error while sending message from PI (7.1) to SalesForce system:

'SOAP: call failed: java.io.IOException: Communication over HTTPS. Unable to create a socket'

Scenario: Sending Customer data from SAP via Async proxy to PI which is sent further to SalesForce system via SOAP webservice call.

When I am trying to Post data to the same webservice via SOAP UI it is working fine and data is getting updated in SalesForce system.

XPI inspector logs for the channel suggest the following:

client [103965] RequestImpl.initSslAttributes(): Initially sslAttributes = null

client [103965] RequestImpl.initSslAttributes(): Cannot find SSL headers in the request.

client [103965] RequestImpl.initSslAttributes(): No SSL attributes: not found in headers and not searched in FCA, because connection.isSecure() = false; sslAttributes = null

I have checked the following SAP Note and requested for updation of SSL icm parameters

891877 - Message-specific configuration of HTTP-Security

I checked the following discussions:

which are suggesting a different approach. Kindly suggest a way forward.

Thanks,
