• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SOAP_CFG_CC005 - Configuration &1 refers to missing or inactive Proxy &2 ?

  The SAP error message SOAP_CFG_CC005 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to a SOAP communication channel. Specifically, it means that the configuration refers to a proxy that is either missing or inactive. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO) when dealing with web services.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Proxy: The proxy object that the configuration is referring to does not exist in the system.
  Inactive Proxy: The proxy object exists but is not activated. Inactive proxies cannot be used for communication.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration might be pointing to the wrong proxy or there might be a typo in the configuration settings.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, the proxy might not have been transported correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Proxy Existence:
  
  Go to the SAP system and check if the proxy object exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SOAMANAGER for web service configuration).
  If the proxy does not exist, you may need to create it or transport it from another system.
  
  
  
  Activate Proxy:
  
  If the proxy exists but is inactive, you need to activate it. This can typically be done in the same transaction where you check for its existence.
  Use transaction SPROXY to find the proxy and activate it.
  
  
  
  Verify Configuration:
  
  Double-check the configuration settings in the relevant communication channel. Ensure that the proxy name and other parameters are correctly specified.
  Make sure that the endpoint URL and other settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the configuration was transported, ensure that all necessary objects (including the proxy) were included in the transport request.
  You may need to re-transport the proxy or manually create it in the target system.
  
  
  
  Check Logs:
  
  Review the logs in the Integration Engine or the relevant monitoring tools to gather more information about the error and its context.
