How To Fix WES_OUTBOUND088 - Status information for service implementation will be ignored

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WES_OUTBOUND - Messages for Outbound Services

• Message number: 088

• Message text: Status information for service implementation will be ignored

What causes this issue?

The change analysis is restricted by a time interval.

System Response

If you set the pointer <DS:DE.WES_CHANGE_TP>Limit Changes via Time
Interval</>, the system ignores the status information of the service
implementation. If you select the wrong time interval, you may miss some
changes.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_OUTBOUND088 - Status information for service implementation will be ignored ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WES_OUTBOUND088 - Status information for service implementation will be ignored
  
  Cause:
  This warning message typically occurs in the context of SAP PI/PO (Process Integration / Process Orchestration) or SAP middleware scenarios involving web services or proxy communication.
  
  The message indicates that the status information returned by the service implementation (i.e., the backend system or the service provider) is being ignored by the outbound processing framework.
  This usually happens because the outbound interface or the communication channel is not configured to process or handle status information from the service implementation.
  It can also occur if the service implementation does not return any status information, or if the status information is not relevant or expected in the current processing context.
  Another cause might be that the message processing is asynchronous or one-way, where status information is not applicable.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP PI/PO, when a message is sent to a service implementation, the system can receive status information (success, failure, warnings) about the processing of that message.
  The message WES_OUTBOUND088 is a warning indicating that such status information, if present, will be ignored because the outbound processing is not set up to handle it.
  This is not necessarily an error that stops processing; rather, it is an informational warning.
  
  
  Solution / How to handle:
  
  
  Check if status information is required:
  
  Determine if your business process or interface requires processing of status information from the service implementation.
  If status information is not needed, this warning can be safely ignored.
  
  
  
  Adjust configuration if status information should be processed:
  
  If you want to process status information, ensure that the communication channel or adapter is configured to handle it.
  For example, in SOAP or REST adapters, check the settings related to synchronous/asynchronous processing and status handling.
  In proxy scenarios, verify the proxy runtime and interface settings.
  
  
  
  Review interface pattern:
  
  If the interface is one-way (asynchronous), status information might not be applicable.
  For synchronous interfaces, ensure that the response handling is properly configured.
  
  
  
  Check backend service implementation:
  
  Verify if the backend service is actually sending status information.
  If it is not sending any, then the warning is expected.
  
  
  
  Ignore if no impact:
  
  Since this is a warning, if your interface is working fine and no status processing is required, you can safely ignore this message.

  Transaction / Tools:
  
  Use SXMB_MONI (Message Monitoring) to check message status and processing details.
  Use SOAMANAGER to check web service configurations.
  Use transaction SPROXY to check proxy interface settings.
  
  
  
  Common Contexts:
  
  Occurs in SAP PI/PO outbound processing.
  Related to web service or proxy outbound calls.
  Often seen in asynchronous or one-way message scenarios.
