    Cause:

The SAP system automatically repairs or regenerates the service definition to align it with the current state of the underlying service implementation or data structures.

    Common causes include:

    • Changes in the underlying ABAP service or function module that the web service is based on.
    • Modifications in the data types or parameters used by the service.
    • Transport or system inconsistencies where the service definition is out of sync.
    • Manual changes or inconsistencies in the service metadata.

    Explanation:

    The message WS_TOOL805 is informational and indicates that the SAP system has detected a mismatch or inconsistency in the service definition and has automatically repaired or regenerated the service metadata to ensure it is consistent and usable.

    • Check transport and system consistency: Ensure that transports involving the service and related objects have been imported correctly and completely.
