  SAP Error Message:
  WPRO_XI_PROXY017
  
  Text: Discarding business process &1, order ID &2 (PI message &3) completed
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This message is typically issued by the SAP Process Integration (PI) or Process Orchestration (PO) system when a business process instance is discarded or ended because the corresponding proxy message processing has already been completed or the message is considered duplicate or no longer relevant.
  Possible causes include:
  
  
  Duplicate Message Processing:
  
  The message with the given order ID and PI message ID has already been processed successfully, so the system discards the repeated message to avoid duplicate processing.
  
  
  Message Already Completed:
  
  The business process instance related to the message has already reached a terminal state (completed, cancelled, or ended), so any further messages related to this process instance are discarded.
  
  
  Incorrect Message Correlation:
  
  The message might be arriving late or out of sequence, and the system cannot correlate it to an active process instance.
  
  
  Message Timeout or Expiry:
  
  The message processing window has expired, and the system discards the message to maintain data consistency.
  
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check Message Status in SAP PI/PO:  
  
  Use the SAP PI/PO monitoring tools (e.g., Message Monitoring, Runtime Workbench) to check the status of the message with the given PI message ID (&3).  
  Verify if the message was processed successfully or ended with an error.
  
  
  
  Verify Business Process Instance Status:  
  
  Check the status of the business process instance (&1) and order ID (&2) in the relevant system (e.g., SAP ERP, CRM, or custom system).  
  Confirm if the process instance is already completed or cancelled.
  
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Messages:  
  
  Investigate the source system or sender to ensure it is not sending duplicate messages.  
  Implement idempotency or message deduplication mechanisms if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Message Correlation and Mapping:  
  
  Ensure that the message correlation keys and mapping configurations are correct so that messages are routed to the correct process instances.
  
  
  
  Review Message Expiry Settings:  
  
  Check the message expiry or timeout settings in SAP PI/PO to ensure messages are not discarded prematurely.
  
  
  
  Reprocess if Needed:  
  
  If the message was discarded incorrectly, you may need to reprocess the message or resend it from the source system.
