How To Fix SPRX065 - Proxy generation terminated: Abstract elements/element replacements

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SPRX - Proxy Generation

• Message number: 065

• Message text: Proxy generation terminated: Abstract elements/element replacements

INCLUDE SPRX_GET_WSDL OBJECT DOKU ID TX

What causes this issue?

In the interface description, you set the attribute abstract="true" or
substitutionGroup="..." for the language command <element>.
Example:
<element name="Address" abstract="true"/>
...
<element name="GermanAddress" substitutionGroup="Address">
<complexType>
....
</complexType>
</element>
The example above shows that with this feature, you can replace
"Address" with "GermanAddress" at any point.
You could also define "FrenchAddress", that also replaces "Address".
This cannot be mapped in ABAP since a type can only ever have one
status.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPRX065 - Proxy generation terminated: Abstract elements/element replacements ?

  The SAP error message SPRX065 indicates that there was an issue during the proxy generation process, specifically related to abstract elements or element replacements in the context of web services or service-oriented architecture (SOA). This error typically arises when the system encounters problems with the definitions of the data structures being used in the proxy generation.
  Causes:
  
  Abstract Elements: The presence of abstract elements in the data model can lead to issues if the proxy generation process cannot resolve these elements into concrete types.
  Element Replacements: If there are element replacements defined in the WSDL (Web Services Description Language) or XSD (XML Schema Definition) that are not properly configured or are incompatible, this can cause the proxy generation to fail.
  Inconsistent Data Types: Mismatches in data types or structures between the service definition and the implementation can lead to errors.
  WSDL/XSD Issues: Errors or inconsistencies in the WSDL or XSD files that define the web service can also trigger this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review WSDL/XSD: Check the WSDL and XSD files for any abstract elements or element replacements that may not be properly defined. Ensure that all abstract elements have concrete implementations.
  Concrete Types: If you have abstract types, ensure that there are concrete types defined that can be used in the proxy generation.
  Regenerate Proxy: After making necessary changes to the WSDL/XSD, try regenerating the proxy to see if the issue is resolved.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as there may be fixes related to proxy generation in newer versions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or community forums for specific guidance related to your version of SAP and the services you are working with.
