OBIEE Webservice for SOA - obiee

Question

I am trying to get the web services for SOA to work. I am doing what oracle says, but i am still getting error 500 with the following error:
WatchData: MESSAGE = [ServletContext#1374343816[app:biwssoa module:biservices path:null spec-version:3.1 version:12.1.3]] Root cause of ServletException.
javax.servlet.ServletException: Failed to contact BI Presentation Server due to: Could not access the session service.
at oracle.bi.ws.activeobjects.inspection.BiWsilServlet.doInspectionAction(BiWsilServlet.java:183)
at oracle.bi.ws.activeobjects.inspection.BiWsilServlet.doGet(BiWsilServlet.java:137)
I added wsil.browsing credential and used the weblogic login in the enterprise manager. Didnt work.
Then i tried adding wss_username_token_policy.xml to
/app/oracle/fmw12213/user_projects/domains/bi/config/fmwconfig/biinstances/coreapplication/
with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<oracle-webservice-clients>
<webservice-client>
<port-info>
<policy-references>
<policy-reference uri="oracle/log_policy" category="management"/>
<policy-reference uri="oracle/wss_username_token_client_policy" category="security"/>
</policy-references>
</port-info>
</webservice-client>
</oracle-webservice-clients>
And editing my ActionFrameworkConfig.xml in
/app/oracle/fmw12213/user_projects/domains/bi/config/fmwconfig/biconfig/actions/
from this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<obi-action-config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="afconfig.xsd">

to this:

Then i restarted bi server using domain_home/bitools/bin/stop.sh and start.sh. But its not working :(

Make sure that you have your biservicesconfig.xml in
/app/oracle/fmw12213/user_projects/domains/bi/config/fmwconfig/biinstances/coreapplication/
points to the same host:port as the file in ActionFrameworkConfig.xml. Also has the ending /analytics-ws/saw.dll
For me, that looked like this:
<server>http://localhost:7033/analytics-ws/saw.dll</server>
