  The SAP error message:
  WS_TOOL218 Profile &1 not available for Soap Application &2.
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when the specified profile (represented by &1) is not found or not assigned for the given SOAP application (represented by &2). In SAP PI/PO or Web Service scenarios, profiles define certain configurations or parameters for SOAP communication. If the system tries to use a profile that does not exist or is not properly configured for the SOAP application, this error is raised.
  Common causes:
  
  The profile name specified in the configuration does not exist in the system.
  The profile exists but is not assigned to the SOAP application.
  Typographical errors in the profile name or SOAP application name.
  Missing or incomplete configuration in the SOAMANAGER or related configuration tools.
  Transport or communication channel configuration referencing a non-existent profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Profile Existence:
  
  Go to transaction SOAMANAGER.
  Navigate to the Web Service Configuration.
  Verify that the profile name (&1) exists.
  
  
  
  Check Profile Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the profile is assigned to the SOAP application (&2).
  If not assigned, assign the correct profile to the SOAP application.
  
  
  
  Correct Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the SOAP communication channel or web service binding.
  Correct any typos or incorrect profile names.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Adjust Profile:
  
  If the profile is missing, create a new profile with the required parameters.
  If the profile is outdated or corrupted, recreate or adjust it accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Integration Directory / ESR:
  
  If this is related to SAP PI/PO, check the Integration Directory or Enterprise Services Repository for correct configuration of communication channels and service interfaces.
  
  
  
  Transport and Deployment:
  
  Ensure that the profile and related configurations have been transported correctly across systems (DEV, QA, PROD).
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is typically seen in SAP NetWeaver PI/PO or Web Service runtime environments.
  Profiles in SOAMANAGER define security, addressing, and other SOAP runtime parameters.
  Proper synchronization between SOAMANAGER configuration and Integration Directory is essential.
  Sometimes, after system upgrades or patches, profiles may get lost or need reconfiguration.
