We get Error in between only, Wallet is set, Certificate are placed. But in between get the error.
Any Thoughts ?

Remove, Delete, Eliminate the whole EXCEPTION handler let us know what new error gets thrown.

Hi,

The error is not captured in the Exception block of the same procedure but it is getting to the exception of called block.

ORA-29261: bad argument.

We have set utl_http.set_transfer_timeout(http_req,l_time_out); as 60s and the requested system has taken time to respond but we are not getting 'transfer_timeout' as exception instead getting ORA-29261: bad argument.

UTL_HTTP.set_response_error_check (ENABLE => TRUE );

  UTL_HTTP.set_detailed_excp_support (ENABLE => TRUE );

    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE 'inside XXXX Call 3');

  UTL_HTTP.set_wallet(l_ewallet_path, l_pass);

   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('inside XXXX Call 4');

  http_req      := Utl_Http.begin_request (url => l_XXXX_url,method => 'POST',http_version => 'HTTP/1.0');

   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE 'inside XXXX Call 5');

  IF l_time_out IS NOT NULL THEN

   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE 'inside XXXX Call 6');

    utl_http.set_transfer_timeout(http_req,l_time_out);

  END IF;

  BEGIN

  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('inside XXXX Call 7');

  UTL_HTTP.set_header(http_req,'Content-Type','text/xml');

  UTL_HTTP.set_header(http_req,'Content-Length', LENGTH(l_request));

  UTL_HTTP.WRITE_TEXT (r => http_req,data => l_request);

  http_resp := UTL_HTTP.get_response(http_req);

It is printing till Call 7 and Going to the exception block of called Proc.

So you remove that exception handling block as well. Remove ALL of your exception handling, so that Oracle shows you what goes wrong, and more importantly, WHERE it goes wrong.

And: If you seriously want help, post ALL of your code, not just a little bit that won't even compile.

Which line is being indicated as throwing the exception?
