ICF service node does not exist (see SAP Note 1109215)

In case you experience such a problem after your ABAP developer transport Web Dynpro component to a new SAP system, for the solution you should create and activate the target ICF node using SAP transaction SICF.

When I call SAP SICF transaction (Maintain Service tcode) and drill-down till the service is expected to be I see that it does not exist in the treeview. It is possible to create the missing service using Create Host/Service (F5) button. Another option is to delete and re-create Web Dynpro component application on SAP development environment and transport to test or productive systems.

But first of all, the most important step you should take is to validate that you are working with the correct Web Dynpro service.
