Change SAP Web Service Default Login Language

 We can configure web services using SOAMANAGER transaction for a long time. This application controls icf nodes regarding selected web services which makes the WS publishing process easier for us. Unfortunately last version of SOAMANAGER don't have an option to change WS login language , either SICF does not allow us to change directly related node and gives SHTTP824 error.

 I have tried a little bit to find a solution however nothing came out. So I decided to code for myself and put it into my toolbox. The program below lets you change WS default login language. After execution it opens sicf transaction by selecting the node you entered. Deactivate and activate node. It's done.
