Symptom
When posting the Job Requisition using eQuest Integration, the following error appears even if the Job Requisition is not being posted to a embargoed Country:
"Outbound communication to eQuest was blocked because it attempted to access a service in a country or region in which SAP does not provide products or services.
Per SAP policy and applicable law, using or accessing SAP products and services in or from these countries/regions is strictly prohibited.
