  Error Message
  WS_TOOL203: The endpoint & has not been defined
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to use or reference a web service endpoint in SAP that has not been properly defined or configured in the system. The placeholder & in the message typically represents the name or identifier of the endpoint that is missing.
  In SAP NetWeaver or SAP PI/PO environments, web service endpoints must be registered and configured before they can be used. If the system cannot find the endpoint definition, it throws this error.
  Common causes include:
  
  The endpoint was never created or registered.
  The endpoint name is misspelled or incorrect in the configuration or code.
  The endpoint configuration was deleted or is inactive.
  Transport or communication settings are incomplete or missing.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Verify Endpoint Definition:
  
  Go to the transaction or tool where endpoints are managed (e.g., SOAMANAGER for Web Service Configuration).
  Check if the endpoint with the specified name exists.
  If it does not exist, create or import the endpoint.
  
  
  
  Check Endpoint Name:
  
  Ensure that the endpoint name used in your program, configuration, or integration scenario exactly matches the defined endpoint name.
  Correct any typos or mismatches.
  
  
  
  Create or Register Endpoint:
  
  If the endpoint is missing, create it using SOAMANAGER or the relevant configuration tool.
  Define the endpoint URL, binding, and other necessary parameters.
  
  
  
  Activate and Test Endpoint:
  
  Make sure the endpoint is active.
  Test the endpoint connectivity to ensure it is reachable.
  
  
  
  Check Transport and Communication Settings:
  
  Verify that the communication channel or logical port is correctly configured to use the endpoint.
  Check for any missing or incorrect parameters.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user or system has the necessary authorizations to access or create endpoints.
