• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OO172 - The included interface &1 is not remote-enabled ?

  The SAP error message OO172 indicates that the included interface specified in your code is not remote-enabled. This typically occurs when you are trying to use an interface in a remote-enabled context, such as in a Remote Function Call (RFC) or a Web Service, but the interface does not have the necessary attributes to support remote calls.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Remote-Enabled Interface: The interface you are trying to include does not have the REMOTE-ENABLED attribute set. This means it cannot be used in remote-enabled scenarios.
  Incorrect Interface Usage: You may be trying to use an interface in a context that requires it to be remote-enabled, but the interface itself is not designed for that purpose.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Interface Definition: Go to the interface definition in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check if it is marked as remote-enabled. If it is not, you will need to modify the interface to include the necessary attributes.
  
  
  Modify the Interface: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can modify the interface to make it remote-enabled. This typically involves:
  
  Adding the REMOTE-ENABLED attribute to the interface.
  Ensuring that all methods within the interface are also remote-enabled if they are intended to be called remotely.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Interface: If modifying the interface is not an option (for example, if it is a standard SAP interface), consider using a different interface that is already remote-enabled.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team to understand the implications of making an interface remote-enabled and to ensure that it aligns with your system's architecture.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Remote-Enabled Interfaces: In SAP, remote-enabled interfaces are designed to be called from outside the SAP system, such as through RFC or web services. They must be explicitly marked as such.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), and SE37 (Function Module) to check and modify interfaces and their attributes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional guidance or solutions related to this error message.
