  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WPRO_XI_PROXY002 - Postprocessing &2, service &1: Registration to FEH failed ?

    The SAP error message:

    WPRO_XI_PROXY002 Postprocessing &2, service &1: Registration to FEH failed

    typically occurs in the context of SAP PI/PO (Process Integration / Process Orchestration) or SAP XI (Exchange Infrastructure) when a proxy or service is trying to register or communicate with the FEH (Forwarding Engine Handler) but fails.


    Explanation of the Error

    • WPRO_XI_PROXY002: This is an error related to the proxy runtime (WPRO) in SAP XI/PI.
    • Postprocessing &2, service &1: Indicates the postprocessing step and the specific service involved.
    • Registration to FEH failed: The proxy runtime is unable to register the service or message processing with the Forwarding Engine Handler (FEH).

    The FEH is a component in the SAP XI/PI runtime that handles message forwarding and processing. If registration to FEH fails, the message processing cannot proceed correctly.


    Common Causes

    1. FEH Service Not Running or Unavailable
      The FEH service on the Integration Engine (or the relevant server) is not running or is unreachable.

    2. Network or Communication Issues
      Network problems between the proxy runtime and the FEH service, such as firewall blocking, incorrect ports, or network outages.

    3. Incorrect Configuration
      Misconfiguration in the Integration Engine or the proxy runtime settings, such as wrong service names, ports, or parameters.

    4. Resource or System Overload
      The system is overloaded or out of resources, causing the FEH to reject new registrations.

    5. Version or Patch Level Mismatch
      Incompatibility between components due to different patch levels or versions.


    Solutions / Troubleshooting Steps

    1. Check FEH Service Status

      • On the Integration Engine server, verify that the FEH service is running.
      • Use transaction SMICM to check the ICM services and ensure the FEH handler is active.
    2. Restart FEH Service

      • If the FEH service is down or unresponsive, restart the Integration Engine or the FEH service specifically.
    3. Check Network Connectivity

      • Verify network connectivity between the proxy runtime and the FEH service.
      • Check firewall settings and ensure required ports are open.
    4. Review Configuration

      • Check the configuration of the Integration Engine and proxy runtime.
      • Ensure that the service names and parameters match the expected values.
    5. Check System Resources

      • Monitor system load and memory usage.
      • Free up resources if necessary.
    6. Apply Relevant SAP Notes

      • Search for SAP Notes related to WPRO_XI_PROXY002 and FEH registration issues.
      • Apply any recommended patches or fixes.
