  SAP Error Message:
  W3_TOOL208 Could not find any new parameters
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Web Dynpro or Web Service tools when the system expects new parameters (e.g., in a method signature, interface, or configuration) but none are found. Specifically, it often arises during:
  
  Import or synchronization of Web Dynpro components or Web Service definitions.
  Generation or update of proxy objects or service interfaces.
  When the tool tries to detect changes or new parameters in a method or interface but finds none.
  
  In other words, the tool is looking for new parameters to process or generate code for, but the source (like an interface or WSDL) has no new parameters compared to what is already known.
  
  Typical Scenarios
  
  You are trying to regenerate or update a Web Service proxy or Web Dynpro component.
  You have imported or updated an external interface or WSDL, but no new parameters were added.
