• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EDX_WS013 - Error occurred when parsing the ALEAUD message: &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message EDX_WS013 indicates that there was an issue when parsing an ALEAUD (Application Link Enabling Audit) message. This error typically arises in the context of ALE (Application Link Enabling) and IDoc (Intermediate Document) processing, which are used for data exchange between SAP systems or between SAP and non-SAP systems.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Malformed ALEAUD Message: The structure of the ALEAUD message may not conform to the expected format, leading to parsing errors.
  Data Type Mismatch: The data types of the fields in the ALEAUD message may not match the expected types in the receiving system.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the ALE settings or in the IDoc processing can lead to parsing errors.
  Network Issues: Problems in the network or communication layer can result in incomplete or corrupted messages being sent.
  Version Mismatch: Differences in the versions of the systems involved can lead to incompatibilities in message formats.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the EDX_WS013 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check the ALEAUD Message: Review the content of the ALEAUD message that triggered the error. Ensure that it is well-formed and adheres to the expected structure.
  Validate Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the fields in the message match the expected types in the receiving system.
  Review Configuration: Check the ALE configuration settings in both the sending and receiving systems. Ensure that the settings are correctly defined for the message type being processed.
  Monitor Network Communication: Investigate any potential network issues that could be causing message corruption or loss. Use tools like transaction SM58 (for asynchronous RFC) to check for any failed or stuck messages.
  Check System Versions: Ensure that both systems involved in the communication are compatible in terms of version and configuration.
  Debugging: If necessary, enable debugging for the relevant function modules or processes to get more detailed information about where the parsing is failing.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like WE02 (IDoc display), WE19 (IDoc test), and SM58 (monitoring asynchronous RFC) to analyze and troubleshoot IDoc and ALE issues.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues related to the EDX_WS013 error.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on ALE and IDoc processing for best practices and troubleshooting tips.
