  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_ALE_IN001 - Error: No status was reported from the application layer ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WZRE_ALE_IN001 Error: No status was reported from the application layer


    Cause:

    This error typically occurs in the context of ALE (Application Link Enabling) or IDoc processing when the system expects a status update from the application layer after processing an IDoc, but no status is received.

    More specifically:

    • The application layer (the business application that processes the IDoc) did not send back a status message indicating the processing result.
    • This can happen if the IDoc processing program or function module did not update the status records.
    • It may also occur if the IDoc processing was interrupted, or the status update logic was not triggered.
    • Sometimes, the error arises due to missing or incorrect configuration in the partner profile or message type processing.
    • Another cause can be a failure in the user-exit or BAdI that is supposed to update the status.

    Explanation:

    • In ALE/IDoc processing, after an IDoc is processed by the application layer, the system expects a status update (e.g., status 53 for successful processing, or status 51 for errors).
    • The status update is crucial for monitoring and error handling.
    • If the status is not updated, the middleware or ALE layer raises this error to indicate that the processing status is unknown.

    Solution:

    1. Check IDoc Processing Program:

      • Verify that the function module or program processing the IDoc is correctly updating the status.
      • For custom processing, ensure that the status update logic (e.g., calling MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE or updating status tables) is implemented.
    2. Check Partner Profile and Message Type Configuration:

      • Use transaction WE20 to check the partner profile.
      • Ensure that the inbound parameters and message types are correctly configured.
      • Confirm that the correct process code is assigned and that the process code points to the correct function module.
    3. Check IDoc Status Records:

      • Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the IDoc.
      • Check if any status records exist.
      • If no status records are present, it confirms that the application layer did not update the status.
    4. Check for Errors in User-Exits or BAdIs:

      • If custom enhancements are used in IDoc processing, verify that they do not prevent status updates.
      • Debug the processing to see if the status update is skipped.
    5. Reprocess the IDoc:

      • If the IDoc is stuck without status, you may need to reprocess it.
      • Use transaction BD87 to reprocess inbound IDocs.
    6. Check System Logs and Dumps:

      • Look for any short dumps (transaction ST22) or system logs (transaction SM21) that might indicate why the status was not updated.
    7. Apply SAP Notes:

      • Search for relevant SAP Notes on the SAP Support Portal using the error message or symptom.
      • Sometimes, known bugs or patches address this issue.

    Related Information:

    • Transactions:

      • WE02 / WE05 - Display IDocs and their status.
      • WE20 - Partner profiles.
      • BD87 - Reprocess IDocs.
      • SM58 - Check for tRFC errors.
      • ST22 - ABAP dumps.
      • SM21 - System log.
    • Common Status Codes:

      • 53 - IDoc processed successfully.
      • 51 - Error during processing.
      • No status - indicates the error in question.
    • ALE/IDoc Processing Flow:

      • IDoc received ? Application layer processes IDoc ? Application layer updates status ? ALE layer confirms status.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Cause Application layer did not send status update after IDoc processing.
    Effect ALE layer reports error WZRE_ALE_IN001: No status reported.
    Solution Check processing program, partner profile, status records; reprocess IDoc; debug status update logic.
