  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Logical Port:
  
  Verify that the logical port (&2) exists in the system.
  Go to transaction SOAMANAGER ? Web Service Configuration ? Logical Ports.
  Ensure the logical port is correctly defined and active.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Type:
  
  Confirm that the data type (&3) is valid and corresponds to the expected service interface.
  Check the service interface and ensure it matches the consumer configuration requirements.
  
  
  
  Review Consumer Configuration Name:
  
  Make sure the consumer configuration name (&1) is unique and follows naming conventions.
  Avoid special characters or spaces.
