  Message: WS_TOOL101
  Text: Service definition &1 successfully generated
  
  Cause:
  This message appears when you generate a service definition in the SAP Web Service Tool (transaction SOAMANAGER or related tools like SE80 or SICF). The placeholder &1 is replaced by the name of the service definition that was generated.
  In other words, this message confirms that the system has successfully created or regenerated the service definition for a Web Service.
  
  What is a Service Definition?
  
  A service definition in SAP is an XML file that describes the Web Service interface, including the operations, messages, and bindings.
  It is used to expose ABAP function modules or classes as Web Services.
  Generating the service definition is a key step in making a Web Service available for consumption.
  
  
  When does this message appear?
  
  When you create or regenerate a Web Service definition using SAP tools.
  For example, after you create a Web Service from an ABAP class or function module, the system generates the service definition.
  It can also appear after you regenerate the service definition to reflect changes in the underlying service implementation.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  No action needed. This is a success message indicating that the service definition was generated without errors.
  You can proceed with further steps such as activating the service in SICF, configuring security, or testing the Web Service.
