• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5AT214 - Buffered scenario &1 must not be delivered ?

  The SAP error message 5AT214 indicates that a buffered scenario must not be delivered. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO) when dealing with scenarios that involve message buffering.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when there is an attempt to deliver a message in a scenario that is configured to use buffering, but the system detects that the delivery is not appropriate for that scenario. This can happen due to several reasons, including:
  
  Configuration Issues: The scenario may be incorrectly configured in the Integration Directory, leading to conflicts with the buffering settings.
  Message Type: The message type being processed may not be compatible with buffered delivery.
  Transport Protocol: The transport protocol used may not support buffered scenarios.
  System Settings: There may be system-wide settings that prevent the delivery of buffered messages.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the scenario in the Integration Directory. Ensure that the settings for buffering are correctly defined.
  Verify that the message type and the transport protocol are compatible with buffered scenarios.
  
  
  
  Adjust Buffering Settings:
  
  If the scenario is intended to be buffered, ensure that the appropriate buffering settings are enabled.
  If buffering is not required, consider disabling it for the specific scenario.
  
  
  
  Review Message Flow:
  
  Analyze the message flow to ensure that it aligns with the expected behavior of buffered scenarios. Check for any discrepancies in the routing or processing logic.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:

  Testing:
