• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SXMSF203 - Integration Engine type does not match type on sender side ?

  The SAP error message SXMSF203 indicates that there is a mismatch between the integration engine type configured on the sender side and the type expected by the receiver. This typically occurs in scenarios involving SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO) when messages are being sent between different systems or components.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Mismatch: The sender system is configured to use a different type of integration engine (e.g., ABAP-based vs. Java-based) than what the receiver is expecting.

  Transport Protocol Issues: The transport protocol (e.g., HTTP, SOAP, RFC) used by the sender may not be compatible with the receiver's configuration.
  Versioning Issues: Different versions of SAP systems or components may lead to compatibility issues.
  
  Solution:
