• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WPRO_XI_PROXY056 - Change of promotion type is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message WPRO_XI_PROXY056: Change of promotion type is not allowed typically occurs in the context of SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO) when working with Integration Directory objects, such as service interfaces, communication channels, or other configuration objects that are promoted between different systems (e.g., from development to quality or production).
  
  Cause
  
  
  Promotion Type Change Restriction:
  
  The error indicates that you are trying to change the promotion type of an Integration Directory object during the import or promotion process, which is not allowed by SAP.
  
  For example, changing an object from a local to a global object or vice versa, or changing the promotion type from single to multiple or other variations, is restricted once the object has been created and promoted.
  
  
  Object Already Exists with Different Promotion Type:
  
  The target system already contains the object with a certain promotion type, and the import or promotion request tries to change this type, which SAP does not permit.
  
  
  Inconsistent Configuration:
  
  Sometimes, inconsistencies between the source and target system configurations or transport requests can cause this error.
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Promotion Type of the Object:
  
  In the Integration Directory, verify the promotion type of the object in both source and target systems.
  Ensure that the promotion type is consistent and not being changed during the promotion.
  
  
  
  Avoid Changing Promotion Type:
  
  If you need to change the promotion type, you must delete the existing object in the target system first and then import the new object with the desired promotion type.
  Be cautious with deletion as it may impact running scenarios.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transport Requests:
  
  Make sure you are using the correct transport requests and that the objects are properly assigned to the transport.
  
  
  
  Recreate Object if Necessary:
  
  If changing the promotion type is essential, consider deleting the object in the target system and recreating it with the correct promotion type.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Review SAP Notes related to promotion and transport of Integration Directory objects for any known issues or patches.

  Single/Multi: Refers to whether the object is single or multiple instance.
