This is a common issue when dealing with integration scenarios in SAP, particularly when using SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO).

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify References:

  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the Integration Directory or the relevant configuration areas to ensure that there are no dependencies on the IBC.
