  SAP Message:
  WSS251 Consumer configuration '&1', lp: '&2' was created (DT: &3)
  
  1. Cause:
  This message is an informational message (not an error) generated by the SAP Web Service Security (WSS) framework. It indicates that a consumer configuration for a web service has been successfully created.
  
  &1 = Name of the consumer configuration.
  &2 = Logical port (lp) name.
  &3 = Date/time or creation timestamp (DT).
  
  This message typically appears when a new consumer configuration is created in the system, for example, when you configure a logical port for a web service consumer in transaction SOAMANAGER or via programmatic API.
  
  2. Explanation:
  
  Consumer configuration: This is a configuration object that defines how your SAP system consumes an external web service. It includes endpoint URLs, security settings, and other parameters.
  Logical port (lp): A logical port is a client-side communication channel that points to a specific web service endpoint.
  The message confirms that the consumer configuration and logical port were successfully created.
  
  
  3. Solution / Action:
  
  Since this is an informational message, no error handling or correction is needed.
  You can proceed with using the newly created consumer configuration for your web service calls.
  If you were expecting this message as part of a configuration or development step, it confirms that the step was successful.
  If you did not intend to create a new consumer configuration, verify your configuration steps or program logic to ensure no unintended creation occurs.
