• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EA149 - Port '&' was created and not saved! Deletion not possible! ?

  The SAP error message EA149 indicates that a port was created but not saved, which means that the system is unable to delete it. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's communication management, particularly when dealing with RFC (Remote Function Call) destinations or other communication ports.
  Cause:
  
  Unsaved Port: The port was created in the system but not saved properly. This can happen if the user exits the transaction without saving the changes.
  Incomplete Configuration: The port may have been partially configured, leading to inconsistencies in the system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the port.
  System Lock: The system might be in a state where it is locked for changes, preventing deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Port Status: Go to the transaction where the port was created (e.g., transaction SO10 for SAPconnect or SM59 for RFC destinations) and check if the port is listed. If it is, try to save it properly.
  Save the Port: If the port is in an unsaved state, try to make any necessary adjustments and save it. This should resolve the issue.
  Delete via Transaction: If the port is saved but you still want to delete it, navigate to the appropriate transaction (like SO10 or SM59) and attempt to delete it from there.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete the port. If not, contact your SAP administrator to grant the required permissions.
  System Lock: If the system is locked, you may need to wait until the lock is released or contact your system administrator to resolve the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM59 for RFC destinations, SO10 for SAPconnect, and SICF for Internet Communication Framework.
