• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WEBI_CHECKS004 - No value for &1 for Service Definition &2 ?

  The SAP error message:
  WEBI_CHECKS004 No value for &1 for Service Definition &2
  typically occurs in the context of SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence (WebI) when there is a problem related to service definitions or parameters expected by a service but not provided.
  
  Cause
  
  The error indicates that a required parameter (represented by &1) for a specific service definition (represented by &2) is missing or has no value.
  This usually happens when a Web Intelligence report or a related service tries to execute a query or a service call but does not receive the necessary input parameters.
  It can occur due to:
  
  Missing or incorrectly passed input parameters in the report or service call.
  Issues in the configuration of the service definition or the report prompting mechanism.
  Problems with the integration between WebI and the underlying data source or service layer.
  Customizations or SDK calls that do not supply all required parameters.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Identify the Missing Parameter and Service Definition:
  
  Check the exact values of &1 and &2 in the error message (these are placeholders in the message; the actual error log or trace should show the real parameter and service definition names).
  Determine which parameter is missing and for which service.
  
  
  
  Verify Report Prompts and Input Controls:
  
  Open the WebI report and check if all required prompts or input controls are properly defined and supplied.
  Ensure that users provide values for all mandatory prompts before running the report.
  
  
  
  Check Service Definition Configuration:
  
  In the Central Management Console (CMC), review the service definitions related to WebI or the affected service.
  Confirm that all required parameters are correctly configured and that default values are set if applicable.
  
  
  
  Review SDK or Custom Code (if applicable):
  
  If the error occurs during a custom integration or SDK usage, verify that all required parameters are passed correctly in the API calls.
  Add validation to ensure no parameter is left empty.
  
  
  
  Check Data Source and Universe:
  
  If the service definition relates to a universe or data source, ensure that the universe parameters are correctly defined and mapped.
  Validate that the data source connection is active and properly configured.
  
  
  
  Review Logs and Traces:
  
  Check WebI server logs, CMS logs, and any relevant trace files for more detailed error information.
  This can help pinpoint where the parameter is missing.
  
  
  
  Apply Patches or Updates:
  
  Sometimes, this error can be caused by bugs fixed in later patches or support packs.
  Ensure your SAP BusinessObjects platform and WebI are up to date.
