• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_TOOL880 - Function &1: &2 parameter &3 was added ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Message:
  WS_TOOL880 Function &1: &2 parameter &3 was added
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This message is an informational or warning message generated by the SAP Web Service Tool (WS_TOOL). It indicates that during the processing or generation of a function module interface (often related to web services or RFC interfaces), a new parameter (&3) was added to the function module (&2) within the function group or context (&1).
  This typically happens when:
  
  The interface of a function module has been changed (e.g., a new importing, exporting, changing, or table parameter was added).
  The Web Service Tool or related interface generation tool detects this change and reports it.
  It is not an error per se, but a notification that the interface has been extended.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you regenerate or update a web service or proxy that is based on a function module.
  When you modify a function module's signature after it has been used in a web service or RFC interface.
  During transport or import of function modules with changed parameters.
  When using tools like SE37, SE80, or WS_TOOL to generate or update web service interfaces.
  
  
  Solution / Recommended Action:
  
  Review the change: Confirm that the addition of the parameter is intentional and correct.
  Update dependent objects: If the function module is used in web services, proxies, or other interfaces, regenerate or adjust those objects to accommodate the new parameter.
  Test the interface: Ensure that the new parameter does not break existing functionality and that the web service or RFC calls work as expected.
  Communicate changes: Inform relevant developers or users about the interface change to avoid confusion or runtime errors.
  Transport management: If this change is transported across systems, ensure that all dependent systems are updated accordingly.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is informational and does not indicate an error that stops processing.
  It helps developers and administrators track interface changes.
  The placeholders in the message are:
  
  &1 = Function group or context name
  &2 = Function module name
  &3 = Name of the parameter added
  
  
  
  
  Example:
  If the message reads:
  
  WS_TOOL880 Function Z_MYFUNC: Z_MYFUNC parameter IV_NEW_PARAM was added
  It means that the function module Z_MYFUNC now has a new parameter IV_NEW_PARAM added.
  
  If you want to suppress or avoid this message, ensure that function module interfaces are stable before generating web services or proxies, or handle interface changes carefully with proper versioning.
