• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSD_MESSAGE129 - Application &1 does not exist ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSD_MESSAGE129 Application &1 does not exist
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the SAP system tries to access or reference an application (often in the context of Web Services or Web Dynpro applications) that is not found in the system. The placeholder &1 is replaced by the name of the application that the system could not locate.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  The application was never created or deployed.
  The application was deleted or transported incorrectly.
  The application name is misspelled or incorrectly referenced in configuration or code.
  The system is trying to access an application in a client or system where it does not exist.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Application Existence:
  
  Check if the application named in the error message actually exists in the system.
  Use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SICF (for services) to search for the application.
  
  
  
  Check Deployment/Transport:
  
  If the application should have been transported from another system, verify that the transport was successful.
  Re-import or re-deploy the application if necessary.
  
  
  
  Correct Application Name:
  
  Review the configuration or code where the application name is referenced.
  Correct any typos or incorrect references.
  
  
  
  Check System and Client:
  
  Ensure you are working in the correct system and client where the application is supposed to exist.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Restore Application:
  
  If the application was deleted or corrupted, recreate it or restore it from backup or transport.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Sometimes, the application exists but the user does not have authorization to access it, which might cause similar errors. Verify user authorizations.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SE80 - Object Navigator (to check applications)
  SICF - Maintain Services (for web services and ICF nodes)
  SPRO - Customizing (to check configuration)
  
  
  
  Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to Web Dynpro or Web Service application deployment.
  Review system logs (SM21) and short dumps (ST22) for additional context.
  
  
  
  Common Contexts:
  
  Web Dynpro ABAP applications
  Web Service definitions and runtime
  SAP Fiori or UI5 app references in backend
