Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WEBI_CHECKS034 - Service def. &1 was repaired (inactive). Check, adjust and activate it. ?

  The SAP error message:
  WEBI_CHECKS034 Service def. &1 was repaired (inactive). Check, adjust and activate it.
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence (WebI) when a service definition (usually a Web Service or a related service configuration) has been automatically repaired by the system but remains in an inactive state. This typically happens after system upgrades, patches, or configuration changes where the service definition becomes inconsistent or corrupted, and the system attempts to fix it but does not activate it automatically.
  In other words, the service definition identified by &1 (the placeholder replaced by the actual service name) is present but inactive, so WebI cannot use it until it is properly activated.
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the Service: Note the service name from the error message (the &1 parameter).
  
  
  Check the Service Status:
  
  Log in to the Central Management Console (CMC) of SAP BusinessObjects.
  Navigate to Servers under the Servers area.
  Find the service with the name indicated in the error message.
  
  
  
  Activate the Service:
  
  If the service is inactive, right-click on it and select Start or Activate.
  If the service cannot be started, check the server logs for errors that might indicate why it is failing.
  
  
  
  Check Service Configuration:
  
  Sometimes the service definition might be corrupted or misconfigured.
  You may need to delete and recreate the service definition if activation fails repeatedly.
  Ensure that all dependencies and configurations (such as connection strings, authentication settings) are correct.
  
  
  
  Restart the Server:
  
  After activating the service, it is often recommended to restart the related server or the entire SAP BusinessObjects environment to ensure all changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Verify WebI Functionality:
  
  After activation, test Web Intelligence reports to confirm that the error no longer appears.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This error is common after system upgrades or patches where service definitions might be repaired automatically but not activated.
  The service in question is often related to Web Intelligence processing servers or web services used by WebI.
  Always check the SAP BusinessObjects logs (CMS logs, WebI Processing Server logs) for more detailed error messages.
  If the problem persists, consider consulting SAP Notes or opening a support ticket with SAP, providing the service name and logs.
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Service definition was repaired but remains inactive.
  Solution: Activate the service via CMC, check configuration, restart servers if needed.
  Check logs for further diagnostics if activation fails.
