• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WPOSP_ADD_CUST002 - PIPE-spec.communication parameter for input profile &1 not maintained ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WPOSP_ADD_CUST002: PIPE-spec.communication parameter for input profile &1 not maintained
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the communication parameter for the specified input profile (denoted by &1) is not maintained in the system. In the context of SAP, an input profile is used in the Output Management or Print Workbench (WPOSP) to define how and where output (like print jobs, emails, faxes) should be sent.
  The "PIPE-spec.communication parameter" refers to the communication settings required for the output device or channel. If these parameters are missing or not configured properly for the input profile, the system cannot process the output request, resulting in this error.
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  Typically during output processing in SAPscript, Smart Forms, or Adobe Forms.
  When using the Print Workbench (transaction WPOSP) or Output Management.
  When an output device or communication channel is called but not properly configured.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Input Profile Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction WPOSP (Print Workbench).
  Select the relevant input profile (the one mentioned in the error message).
  Verify that the communication parameters (PIPE-spec) are maintained correctly.
  
  
  
  Maintain Communication Parameters:
  
  Communication parameters include details like device type, output device, communication method (e.g., print, email, fax), and any specific PIPE parameters.
  Ensure that the communication parameters for the input profile are complete and correct.
  
  
  
  Maintain Output Device:
  
  Check the output device configuration in transaction SPAD.
  Ensure the device is correctly set up and active.
  
  
  
  Check Partner Profile (if applicable):
  
  If the output involves EDI or ALE, check the partner profiles in transaction WE20.
  Ensure the communication parameters are maintained for the partner and message type.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Adjust the Input Profile:
  
  If the input profile is corrupted or incomplete, recreate it or adjust the settings.
  
  
  
  Check for OSS Notes:
  
  Search SAP OSS Notes for any known issues related to this error message and your SAP version.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The error message is part of the Print Workbench (WPOSP) error messages.
  The "PIPE-spec" refers to the communication specification for the output channel.
  Proper configuration of input profiles and communication parameters is essential for smooth output processing.
  This error prevents the output from being processed or sent to the intended device or channel.
