• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS139 - Error: Recipient port &1 is not of type "file" ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS139 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a recipient port in the context of the SAP Discrete Industries and Manufacturing (DIS) module, specifically related to the process of sending data to a file. The error message states that the recipient port specified is not of the expected type "file".
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the recipient port defined in the configuration is not set up correctly to handle file outputs. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Port Type: The recipient port may be configured as a different type (e.g., a communication type like "HTTP", "SMTP", etc.) instead of the required "file" type.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings of the port, such as missing parameters or incorrect settings.
  Transport Layer Issues: If the transport layer is not set up correctly, it may lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Recipient Port Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code WE21 (IDoc Ports) in SAP.
  Locate the recipient port that is being referenced in the error message.

  Create or Modify the Port:
  
  If you need to create a new port, click on "Create" and select "File" as the port type.
  Fill in the necessary details such as the file path, file name, and any other required parameters.
  If modifying, ensure that all settings align with the requirements for file output.
  
  
  
  Check Related Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the logical system and partner profiles are correctly configured to use the file port.
  Verify that the file path specified in the port configuration is accessible and has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration by triggering the process that uses the recipient port to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
