No vendor specified

[Former Member]

Hi,

I try to create web service consumer proxy using integrated wizard (called from SE80). I follow all wizard steps, but, at the end, I always got error message "No vendor specified". Has anybody an idea where is the problem?

Thanx.

HI,

can you tell me if you found an answer to this please ?

We are getting the same problem but through a different means. We're upgrading to ECC6 and I'm trying to migrate a classic badi but when try to create the BADi definition, I get the same message as you - "No Vendor specified". I have no idea if this is connected with your problem but it does seem a coincidence that we received the same message.

thanks.

I'm getting the same problem in some of our custom programs in ERP6. In our case it seems to happen when we use the MESSAGE command without specifying a message class / number eg

MESSAGE 'This is a message' TYPE 'I'.

Issuing messages like this used to work fine in 4.7 and was especially useful when you wanted to display a long message. I can't find any SAP notes about it. Perhaps they have just decided that they will no longer permit anyone to issue messages without specifying a class / number.

I have the same issue after upgrading from 4.7 to ECC6.0. And I think that I fixed this issue in our case.

We have the upgraded(ECC6) DEV which has no problem and the upgraded(ECC6) TEST which has the problem. The difference between DEV and TEST is only the patch. (Do not ask me why?. It is not my task. I am not a Basis. -.-). So I checked the Message class both DEV and TEST. And there is a difference in message number 001.

The issue is the Message Class 00 which is SAP standard Message class as you know.

If you check the message number 001, there is the text 'No Vendor Specified'.

This is the how SAP Message class works. This is the rule until ECC6.0 some patch verson.

Message text Type 'I'. which is using the message class(00) and message number(001) always.

Solution:

I transport message class 00 object because I can not change only one message number.

And then it works. I could not change about 100 customized programs to fix this.

Bye the way, to fix this issue might be different it depends on your case. You can change customized program to fix this also.

Thanks.

The message No Vendor specified in message class 00 message number 001 is not correct. The correct message is generic message &1 &2 &3 &4 which will be called for every message statement that does not provide message class and number. We also encounter the same issue when we do a trial upgrade for test system. In the end, we change message class 00 001 back to &1 &2 &3 &4 since when we ask SAP about it, they said rightfully it should not happen and maybe some of our step is not correct. Since I saw some people with same problem here, I highly doubt it is caused by our incorrect step.

The funny thing is, when we do trial upgrade on production server, message 00 001 was not replaced by 'No vendor specified'. I suspect it has something to do with SAP upgrade process which in this case, SAP itself does not realize this problem.
