  WEBI_CHECKS032 Service definition &1 is inactive. Activate or delete inactive version?
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence (WebI) when the system tries to access a service definition that is currently inactive. Service definitions in SAP BO define how WebI interacts with various services or data sources. If a service definition is inactive, WebI cannot use it, leading to this error.
  Common scenarios causing this error:  
  
  The service definition was deactivated manually or during an upgrade/patch.  
  The system has multiple versions of the service definition, and the active one is not set.  
  Corruption or misconfiguration in the service definitions repository.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to either activate the inactive service definition or delete the inactive version if it is no longer needed.
  Steps to activate or delete the service definition:
  
  
  Access the Central Management Console (CMC):
  
  Log in to the SAP BusinessObjects CMC.
