  Error Message
  WPRO_XI_PROXY061
  
  Text: Inbound processing external call &1, message ID &2
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during the inbound processing of a proxy message in SAP PI/PO (Process Integration / Process Orchestration) or SAP XI (Exchange Infrastructure). The message indicates that an external call (such as a web service or proxy call) was made to the inbound processing interface, and the system is reporting the message ID of the inbound message being processed.
  The error itself is often a notification or informational message rather than a direct error. However, it can appear in the context of failures or issues during inbound proxy processing, such as:
  
  The inbound proxy interface was called externally (e.g., via web service or RFC).
  The system logs the message ID of the inbound message for tracking.
  If this message appears alongside other error messages, it may indicate problems in the inbound processing logic, such as:
  
  Mapping errors
  Missing or incorrect configuration in the Integration Directory
  Runtime errors in the inbound proxy method (e.g., exceptions in ABAP code)
  Communication failures or timeouts
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Full Error Context:
  
  Look for other error messages or dumps in the system logs (SM21), ST22 (short dumps), or SXMB_MONI (Message Monitoring) to identify the root cause.
  This message alone is informational; the actual error is usually logged elsewhere.
  
  
  
  Verify Proxy Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the inbound proxy interface is correctly configured in the Integration Directory.
  Check the communication channel settings and the service interface.
  
  
  
  Check the Message ID:
  
  Use the message ID (&2) to track the message in SXMB_MONI or SXI_MONITOR.
  Analyze the message processing steps and identify where it failed.
  
  
  
  Review the Inbound Proxy Implementation:
  
  If the inbound proxy has custom ABAP code (e.g., in the IF_PROXY_INBOUND interface), debug or check for exceptions.
  Ensure that the inbound proxy logic handles the incoming data correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Communication and Connectivity:
  
  Verify that the external system calling the inbound proxy is reachable and sending correct data.
  Check network connectivity and authentication.
  
  
  
  Apply SAP Notes:
