In the file port definition &v1&, you have to use the function module
'DX_EDI_PATH_CREATE' to determine the outbound file.
This is the only way to ensure that the outbound IDocs are passed from
the SAP system to the file <(><<)>file name>.dxo when a file with data
is created, and then transformed to inbound IDocs in the file <(>
<<)>file name>.System Response
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
How to fix this error?
Change the port definition using transaction <DS:TRAN.WE21>WE21</>.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
