  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAI_PROXY_PUBLIC003 - Interface method &1 &2 not found ?

    The SAP error message SAI_PROXY_PUBLIC003 indicates that the system is unable to find a specified interface method. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs) or when working with proxy classes in SAP's Enterprise Services.

    Cause:

    1. Method Not Defined: The method you are trying to call does not exist in the specified interface. This could be due to a typo in the method name or the method not being implemented in the interface.
    2. Incorrect Interface: The interface you are trying to use may not be the correct one for the operation you are attempting to perform.
    3. Version Mismatch: There may be a version mismatch between the client and the server, where the method exists in one version but not in the other.
    4. Transport Issues: If the interface was recently transported from one system to another, it may not have been properly activated or may be missing in the target system.

    Solution:

    1. Check Method Name: Verify that the method name you are trying to call is spelled correctly and matches the definition in the interface.
    2. Review Interface Definition: Go to the interface definition in the SAP system (using transaction SE80 or SE11) and check if the method is indeed defined there.
    3. Check for Activation: Ensure that the interface and its methods are activated. Sometimes, after transport, objects need to be activated in the target system.
    4. Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or the API documentation for the specific interface to ensure you are using it correctly.
    5. Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, you can debug the call to see what parameters are being passed and if they are correct.
