• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRT_WSP389 - You cannot specify a service definition and binding at the same time ?

  The SAP error message SRT_WSP389 indicates that there is a conflict in the configuration of a web service in the SAP system. Specifically, it occurs when both a service definition and a binding are specified simultaneously, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to configure a web service in such a way that both a service definition (which describes the service's interface) and a binding (which specifies the protocol and data format for the service) are provided at the same time. In SAP, you can either define a service using a service definition or a binding, but not both.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that you are only specifying either a service definition or a binding, but not both. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Go to the relevant configuration settings for the web service in the SAP system. This can typically be found in transaction codes like SOAMANAGER or SICF.
  
  
  Review Service Definition and Binding:
  
  If you have defined a service definition, ensure that you do not also have a binding defined for the same service.
  Conversely, if you are using a binding, make sure that there is no service definition associated with it.
  
  
  
  Adjust Settings:
  
  If you need to use a service definition, remove any binding configurations.
  If you need to use a binding, remove the service definition.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration: After making the necessary adjustments, test the web service to ensure that it is functioning correctly without the error.
