• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/MES190 - No interface found; cache was not deleted ?

  The SAP error message /AIF/MES190 No interface found; cache was not deleted typically occurs in the context of the Application Interface Framework (AIF) when the system is unable to find a specific interface definition that is required for processing messages. This can happen for several reasons, including configuration issues, missing interface definitions, or problems with the cache.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Interface Definition: The interface you are trying to use may not be defined in the AIF configuration.
  Cache Issues: The cache may not have been updated or cleared, leading to inconsistencies in the interface definitions.
  Transport Issues: If the interface was recently transported from another system, it may not have been activated properly.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the interface.
  Configuration Errors: There may be errors in the configuration of the AIF or the specific interface.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Interface Definition:
  
  Go to the AIF configuration and verify that the interface you are trying to use is correctly defined.
  Ensure that all necessary parameters and settings are in place.
  
  
  
  Clear Cache:
  
  You can clear the AIF cache to ensure that the latest interface definitions are loaded. This can typically be done using transaction code /AIF/IF_CACHE or by using the relevant function module to clear the cache.
  After clearing the cache, try to execute the process again.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the interface was recently transported, ensure that the transport request was completed successfully and that the interface is active in the target system.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the process has the necessary authorizations to access the AIF and the specific interface.
  
  
  
  Check Logs:
  
  Review the AIF logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure Interface:
  
  If the interface is still not found, consider reconfiguring it or creating a new interface definition to ensure that it is properly set up.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /AIF/IF_CONFIG for interface configuration and /AIF/IF_LOG for viewing logs.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for AIF for detailed guidance on configuring interfaces and troubleshooting common issues.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide patches related to AIF and interface management.
