  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_TOOL213 - No TADIR entry found for Service &1. ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WS_TOOL213 No TADIR entry found for Service &1.


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the SAP system tries to access or reference a service object (such as a function module, class, or other repository object) that does not have a corresponding entry in the TADIR table.

    • TADIR is the central directory table in SAP that contains entries for all development objects in the system.
    • If an object is missing in TADIR, it means the system cannot find metadata or repository information about that object.
    • This typically happens if the object was deleted, not transported properly, or the system is inconsistent.

    When does it occur?

    • During runtime when a service or tool tries to access a repository object.
    • While performing transports or system copies.
    • When using Web Service tools or other development tools that rely on TADIR entries.
    • When an object was created manually in the database but not registered properly in the repository.

    Solution:

    1. Check if the object exists:

      • Verify that the service or object name (&1 in the message) actually exists in the system.
      • Use transaction SE80 or SE84 to search for the object.
    2. Check TADIR entries:

      • Use SE16 or SE16N to view the TADIR table.
      • Search for the object name and type to see if an entry exists.
    3. Recreate or re-register the object:

      • If the object exists but no TADIR entry is found, you may need to re-register the object.
      • This can be done by:
        • Re-importing the transport that contains the object.
        • Using SAP tools or reports to re-register objects in TADIR.
        • For classes, you can try to activate them again in SE24.
        • For function modules, try to activate them in SE37.
    4. Check transport logs:

      • If the object was transported, check the transport logs to ensure it was imported correctly.
      • Re-import the transport if necessary.
    5. Consistency check:

      • Run consistency checks or repair tools if available.
      • For example, use report RS_WB_REPAIR or similar tools to fix repository inconsistencies.
    6. SAP Notes:

      • Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WS_TOOL213.
      • Sometimes SAP provides specific patches or instructions for this error.

    Related Information:

    • TADIR Table: Central directory for all repository objects.
    • WS_TOOL213 is related to Web Service tools or repository tools that rely on TADIR.
    • This error is often a symptom of repository inconsistencies.
    • Always ensure transports are properly imported and objects are activated.
    • If the problem persists, consider opening a support ticket with SAP, providing details of the object and system state.

    Summary:
