  The SAP error message W3_API100 Internet service typically relates to issues with the Internet Communication Framework (ICF) services in SAP, particularly the HTTP or HTTPS services used for web communication.
  
  Cause
  
  The error W3_API100 Internet service usually indicates that the requested Internet service (ICF service) is not active or not properly configured in the SAP system.

  Verify HTTP Service Status:
  
  Use transaction SMICM.

  If not, start the services.
  
  
  
  Check URL and Service Path:
  
  Ensure the URL you are using corresponds exactly to an active ICF service.
  Sometimes typos or incorrect paths cause this error.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Web Dispatcher or Gateway Configuration:
  
  If you are using SAP Web Dispatcher or SAP Gateway, verify that the routing and service mappings are correct.
