• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CCR087 - Proxy class &1 of service &2 should lie within customer namespace ?

  The SAP error message CCR087 indicates that a proxy class for a web service is not located within the customer namespace. In SAP, namespaces are used to differentiate between objects created by SAP and those created by customers or third-party developers. The customer namespace typically starts with a specific prefix (like "Z" or "Y") to indicate that the object is custom.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A proxy class for a web service is generated in a namespace that is not recognized as a customer namespace.
  The service definition or the proxy generation process is incorrectly configured, leading to the proxy being created in the wrong namespace.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Namespace Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the proxy class is being generated in the correct customer namespace. You can check the namespace settings in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Regenerate the Proxy:
  
  If the proxy class was generated in the wrong namespace, you may need to delete the existing proxy and regenerate it. Make sure to specify the correct customer namespace during the generation process.
  
  
  
  Adjust Service Definition:
  
  If you are using a service definition that specifies a namespace, ensure that it is set to a customer namespace. You can do this in the Service Definition or Service Interface settings.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Code SPROXY:
  
  Go to transaction code SPROXY to manage your proxy objects. You can check the existing proxies and their namespaces here.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation related to web service proxy generation to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
