• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ165 - Link to the event is deactivated ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZ165 - Link to the event is deactivated
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to process or trigger an event link in SAP that has been deactivated. In SAP Event Management (EM), event links define the relationship between events and processes. If a link is deactivated, the system prevents any further processing or triggering of that event link, resulting in this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Event links are used to connect events to processes or other events.
  Each event link can be active or inactive (deactivated).
  When an event link is deactivated, it means it is intentionally disabled and should not be used.
  Attempting to use or trigger a deactivated event link causes the system to raise the WZ165 error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Event Link Status:
  
  Go to the transaction or customizing where event links are maintained (e.g., in SAP Event Management customizing).
  Verify the status of the event link in question.
  
  
  
  Activate the Event Link:
  
  If the event link should be active, change its status from deactivated to active.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Review Business Process:
  
  Confirm that activating the event link aligns with your business process requirements.
  If the link was deactivated intentionally (e.g., obsolete or replaced), then you should not activate it but rather adjust your process to use the correct active event link.
  
  
  
  Check Event Link Usage:
  
  Identify where the event link is being called or triggered.
  Ensure that the correct and active event link is used in the process or program.
