  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_TOOL195 - Fieldreferences have to be adapted (Func. &1, Parameter &2, Type &3) ?

    The SAP error message:

    WS_TOOL195 Fieldreferences have to be adapted (Func. &1, Parameter &2, Type &3)

    typically occurs during the generation or activation of Web Service tools or proxy objects in SAP, especially when dealing with Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) imports or Enterprise Services.


    Cause

    This error indicates that the field references in the generated ABAP proxy or Web Service tool do not match the expected structure or have become inconsistent. Specifically:

    • The function module (Func. &1) and its parameter (Parameter &2) have a mismatch or inconsistency in the field references.
    • The type (Type &3) expected in the proxy or Web Service tool does not correspond correctly to the actual data structure or parameter definition.
    • This often happens after changes in the underlying data structures, function modules, or WSDL definitions that are not yet reflected in the generated proxy or Web Service tool.
    • It can also occur if the proxy or Web Service tool was generated with an older or inconsistent version of the metadata.

    Solution

    To resolve this error, you need to adapt or regenerate the field references so that the proxy or Web Service tool matches the current definitions:

    1. Regenerate the Proxy or Web Service Tool:

      • Go to the transaction where the proxy or Web Service tool was generated (e.g., SPROXY for proxies).
      • Re-import or regenerate the proxy or Web Service tool from the current WSDL or Enterprise Service definition.
      • This ensures that the field references and types are updated to the latest metadata.
    2. Check and Adjust the Function Module and Parameters:

      • Verify the function module (Func. &1) and its parameters (Parameter &2) in SE37 or SE80.
      • Ensure that the parameter types (Type &3) correspond to the expected structures.
      • If the function module or its interface has changed, update the proxy or Web Service tool accordingly.
    3. Adjust the Field References Manually (if necessary):

      • In some cases, you may need to manually adjust the field references in the generated code or metadata.
      • This is less common and should be done carefully to avoid inconsistencies.
    4. Clear Cache and Re-activate:

      • After regeneration or adjustment, clear any relevant caches.
      • Re-activate the proxy or Web Service tool objects.

    Related Information

    • Transaction SPROXY: Used to generate and maintain ABAP proxies for Web Services.
    • Transaction SE80: Object Navigator, useful for checking function modules and data types.
    • Function Module Interface: Changes in the interface of function modules require regeneration of dependent proxies.
    • WSDL Changes: If the WSDL or Enterprise Service definition changes, proxies must be regenerated.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to WS_TOOL195 for any specific patches or updates.
