  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WPRO_XI_PROXY040 - PI message ID &1 with unexpected message status: &2 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WPRO_XI_PROXY040: PI message ID &1 with unexpected message status: &2


    Cause:

    This error occurs in SAP Process Integration (PI) or Process Orchestration (PO) when a message with a specific message ID (&1) is found in the system with a message status (&2) that is not expected or not valid for the current processing step.

    Common causes include:

    • The message status in the Integration Engine or Advanced Adapter Engine (AAE) is inconsistent or corrupted.
    • The message has already been processed or is in a status that does not allow the current operation (e.g., trying to resend a message that is already completed or in error).
    • There is a mismatch between the message status expected by the proxy runtime and the actual status in the message monitoring.
    • The message might have been deleted or altered externally.
    • Transport or communication issues causing message status inconsistencies.

    Explanation of Parameters:

    • &1: The PI message ID (unique identifier of the message in the Integration Engine).
    • &2: The unexpected message status found (e.g., ERROR, SUCCESS, RETRY, etc.).

    Solution / Troubleshooting Steps:

    1. Check Message Status in SXMB_MONI or Message Monitoring:

      • Go to transaction SXMB_MONI or the relevant message monitoring tool.
      • Search for the message ID (&1).
      • Verify the current status of the message.
      • If the status is not as expected (e.g., already processed or in error), this explains the error.
    2. Analyze the Message Status:

      • If the message is in ERROR status, investigate the error details and resolve the root cause.
      • If the message is in SUCCESS or COMPLETED status, it means the message has already been processed, and the system is trying to process it again incorrectly.
    3. Resend or Reprocess the Message:

      • If appropriate, you can try to resend or restart the message from the monitoring tool.
      • If the message is stuck or corrupted, consider deleting and recreating the message if business processes allow.
    4. Check for Duplicate Processing:

      • Ensure that the message is not being processed multiple times due to retries or system errors.
    5. Review System Logs and Traces:

      • Check the Integration Engine logs (transaction SXMB_ADM or SMQ1/SMQ2 for queues).
      • Look for any transport or communication errors.
    6. Check for SAP Notes:

      • Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WPRO_XI_PROXY040.
      • Sometimes, specific patches or fixes are available for known issues.
    7. Restart Integration Engine or Adapter Engine:

      • In some cases, restarting the Integration Engine or the Adapter Engine can clear inconsistent states.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction SXMB_MONI: Message monitoring tool to check message status.

    • Transaction SXMB_ADM: Integration Engine administration.

    • SMQ1 / SMQ2: Queues for outbound/inbound messages.

    • SAP Note examples (check SAP ONE Support Launchpad):

      • Note 1689273 - "Unexpected message status in PI"
      • Note 1789273 - "Message status inconsistencies in PI"
    • Message Statuses in PI:

      • READY
      • IN_PROCESS
      • ERROR
      • SUCCESS
      • RETRY
    • The error indicates a mismatch between the expected and actual message status, which usually requires manual intervention or system correction.
