  The SAP error message SRT_WSP2516 indicates that the processing of an Integration Broker Communication Request (IBCR) has not been defined. This typically occurs in scenarios involving SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO) when there is an issue with the configuration of the communication channels or the integration scenarios.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The error usually arises when the necessary configuration for the IBCR is not set up in the SAP system. This could be due to missing or incorrect settings in the Integration Directory or the Service Registry.
  Service Definition Issues: The service that is supposed to handle the IBCR may not be defined correctly or may not exist in the system.
  Transport Issues: There may be issues with the transport layer that prevent the IBCR from being processed correctly.
  Authorization Issues: The user or service account executing the IBCR may not have the necessary authorizations to access the required services.

  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the Integration Directory and ensure that the necessary communication channels and integration scenarios are correctly defined.
