• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_OUTBOUND092 - Messages will be sent point to point - based on settings from SOA manager ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WES_OUTBOUND092: Messages will be sent point to point - based on settings from SOA Manager
  
  Cause:
  This message is an informational or warning message rather than a critical error. It indicates that the outbound messages from the SAP system are configured to be sent point-to-point rather than using a messaging middleware or broker (like SAP PI/PO or other integration platforms).
  
  The setting is controlled via the SOA Manager (transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE or /IWBEP/REG_SERVICE depending on the context).
  The system is informing you that the outbound messages will be sent directly to the receiver system without intermediate routing or transformation.
  This can happen if the communication channel or the logical port is configured for direct communication.
  It may also appear if the system is set to use direct HTTP or SOAP calls instead of going through an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) or middleware.
  
  
  When does this message appear?
  
  When you check the outbound communication settings in SOA Manager.
  When you trigger outbound messages (e.g., via Web Services, IDocs, or other integration technologies).
  When the system logs outbound message processing and notes the communication mode.
  
  
  Implications:
  
  Point-to-point communication means the sender system communicates directly with the receiver system.
  This can be simpler but may lack the flexibility, monitoring, and transformation capabilities provided by middleware.
  It may be suitable for simple or low-volume scenarios.
  For complex integration landscapes, middleware is often preferred.
  
  
  Solution / Recommended Actions:
  
  
  Verify if point-to-point communication is intended:
  
  If your integration scenario is simple and direct communication is acceptable, no action is needed.
  This message can be treated as informational.
  
  
  
  If middleware or broker is required:
  
  Check the configuration in SOA Manager.
  Adjust the communication channel or logical port to route messages via the middleware.
  Ensure that the middleware endpoint is correctly configured in the logical port.
  Check the Integration Directory or ESR (if using SAP PI/PO) for correct routing.
  
  
  
  Review SOA Manager settings:
  
  Use transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE or /IWBEP/REG_SERVICE to review and adjust service registrations and communication settings.
  Check the logical ports in transaction SOAMANAGER (Web Service Configuration).
  Confirm that the outbound service endpoint points to the middleware if required.
  
  
  
  Check system documentation and integration design:
  
  Confirm with your integration architect or BASIS team whether point-to-point communication is acceptable.
  If not, plan to reconfigure the integration scenario accordingly.

  Summary:
  
  Message WES_OUTBOUND092 informs that outbound messages are sent point-to-point.
  This is controlled by SOA Manager settings.
  No error per se, but a configuration note.
  Adjust settings if middleware routing is required.
