• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W3_TOOL116 - Service parameters are edited outside of R/3 System ?

  SAP Error Message:
  W3_TOOL116 Service parameters are edited outside of R/3 System
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs when the parameters of an SAP Web Service (or ICF service) have been changed or edited outside the SAP R/3 system, typically directly in the Internet Communication Framework (ICF) or via external tools. SAP detects that the service parameters do not match the expected configuration stored in the R/3 system repository.
  In other words, the service configuration was modified manually in the ICF node or via external means rather than through the SAP transaction or tools that maintain consistency with the R/3 system.
  
  Explanation
  
  SAP Web services and ICF services are usually maintained via SAP transactions such as SICF.
  When service parameters (like handler list, authentication, etc.) are changed directly in the ICF tree or via external tools (e.g., OS commands, direct database changes, or external web server configurations), SAP detects a mismatch.
  This mismatch triggers the warning W3_TOOL116 to alert
