• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRT_WSP398 - Generated WSDL document does not contain data ?

  The SAP error message SRT_WSP398 indicates that the generated WSDL (Web Services Description Language) document does not contain any data. This can occur in various scenarios when working with SAP web services, particularly when the service is expected to expose certain operations or data structures but fails to do so.
  Causes:
  
  Service Configuration Issues: The web service may not be properly configured in the SAP system. This could include missing or incorrect settings in the service definition.
  No Data in the Service: The service might not have any data to expose. This can happen if the underlying data source is empty or if the service logic does not return any data.
  Authorization Issues: The user or system trying to access the WSDL may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data or service.
  Service Activation: The web service might not be activated or published correctly in the SAP system.
  Technical Errors: There could be technical issues or bugs in the SAP system that prevent the WSDL from being generated correctly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Service Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the web service in transaction SOAMANAGER. Ensure that the service is correctly defined and that all necessary parameters are set.
  Check the service binding and ensure that the correct endpoint is being used.
  
  
  
  Validate Data Availability:
  
  Ensure that the underlying data source for the web service has data. You can test the service logic directly in the SAP system to confirm that it returns data as expected.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Check the user authorizations for the user or system accessing the WSDL. Ensure that the necessary roles and permissions are assigned.
  
  
  
  Activate the Service:
  
  If the service is not activated, activate it in SOAMANAGER. Make sure to publish the service after activation.
  
  
  
  Check for Technical Errors:
  
  Review the SAP system logs (transaction SLG1) for any errors or warnings that might indicate issues with the web service.
  If necessary, consult with your SAP Basis team to check for any system issues or patches that may need to be applied.
  
  
  
  Regenerate WSDL:
  
  Sometimes, simply regenerating the WSDL can resolve the issue. You can do this in SOAMANAGER by selecting the service and choosing the option to regenerate the WSDL.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SOAMANAGER for service management and SLG1 for log analysis.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues related to WSDL generation and web services.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on web services and WSDL generation for best practices and troubleshooting steps.
