• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BS_SOA_SIW_TMPL003 - Configuration valid for synchronous inbound services only ?

  The SAP error message BS_SOA_SIW_TMPL003 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the use of synchronous inbound services in the SAP system. This error typically arises when the system is trying to process a service that is not configured correctly for synchronous communication.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Mismatch: The service you are trying to use is configured for asynchronous processing, but the call being made is synchronous.
  Service Definition: The service definition in the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Manager may not be set up to handle synchronous requests.
  Incorrect Endpoint: The endpoint being called may not be designed to handle synchronous requests, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Service Configuration:
  
  Go to the SOA Manager (transaction code SOAMANAGER).
  Locate the service that is causing the error.
  Verify that the service is configured for synchronous processing. If it is not, you may need to create or modify the service to support synchronous calls.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Service Interface:
  
  Ensure that the service interface is correctly defined to handle synchronous requests.
  If necessary, create a new service interface that is specifically designed for synchronous communication.
  
  
  
  Review the Consumer Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the consumer that is making the call to ensure it is set up to use the correct service interface.
  Make sure that the consumer is not trying to call an asynchronous service as if it were synchronous.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the service again to ensure that it is functioning as expected.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific service you are working with for additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message.
  SOA Manager: Familiarize yourself with the SOA Manager and its functionalities, as it is a key tool for managing web services in SAP.
  Service Types: Understand the difference between synchronous and asynchronous services, as this knowledge will help in configuring services correctly.
