  Error Message
  WEBI_CHECKS112: Consistency of Service Definitions (Elementary Type of SOAP Extension)
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence (WebI) when there is an inconsistency or mismatch in the SOAP web service definitions used by the system. Specifically, it relates to the elementary type definitions in the SOAP extension files or WSDL (Web Services Description Language) documents that WebI uses to communicate with web services.
  Common causes include:
  
  Mismatch or corruption in the SOAP extension files: The SOAP extension files define the data types and service interfaces. If these files are inconsistent or corrupted, the system cannot properly interpret the service definitions.
  Incompatible or outdated WSDL files: If the WSDL used by WebI to generate service proxies or to consume web services has changed or is incompatible, this error can occur.
  Version conflicts: Differences between the versions of the SAP BI platform components or patches can cause inconsistencies in service definitions.
  Manual changes or customizations: If someone manually edited the SOAP extension files or related configuration files, it might lead to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WEBI_CHECKS112 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Verify SOAP Extension Files  
  
  Check the integrity and consistency of the SOAP extension files used by WebI. These files are usually located in the SAP BusinessObjects installation directories.
  If you have a backup or a clean installation, compare the files and replace any corrupted or inconsistent files.
  
  
  
  Update or Re-import WSDL Files  
  
  If you are consuming external web services, ensure that the WSDL files are up-to-date and compatible.
  Re-import the WSDL files into the WebI environment to regenerate the service proxies.
  
  
  
  Check for Patch or Version Mismatches  
  
  Ensure that all SAP BI platform components are on compatible patch levels.
  Apply any relevant SAP Notes or patches that address SOAP or WebI service issues.
  
  
  
  Restore Default Configuration  
  
  If manual changes were made to SOAP extension or configuration files, revert to the default settings.
  Avoid manual edits unless guided by SAP support.
  
  
  
  Restart Services  
  
  After making changes, restart the SAP BusinessObjects services to ensure changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes and Support  
  
  Search the SAP Support Portal for notes related to WEBI_CHECKS112.
  If the problem persists, open a support ticket with SAP, providing logs and details of the environment.
