  SAP Error Message:
  WEBI_CHECKS015 No active version of Service Definition &1 found
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence (WebI) when the system tries to access a Service Definition (such as a Web Service or a RESTful service) that does not have an active version deployed or available in the repository.
  
  Service Definition refers to the metadata or configuration that defines how WebI connects to external services or data providers.
  The error indicates that the requested service definition (identified by the placeholder &1) exists but does not have any active version.
  This can happen if:
  
  The service definition was created but never activated.
  The active version was deleted or deactivated.
  There is a mismatch or corruption in the repository metadata.
  The system is pointing to an incorrect or outdated service definition ID.
  
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Service Definition in the Central Management Console (CMC):

  Locate the service definition with the name or ID referenced in the error message (&1).
