SAP : View EDI Segment Qualfiers and Actions (QUALF/ACTION)

The EDI segment documentation was very descriptive in SAP 4.6C where the segment 'Qualifiers' and 'Actions' functions were provided in the segment definition. In the later versions this data was missing and I happened to explore a way. My fellow consultants around the globe might have been using this trick but I liked to write on this one and see below for steps.

1. Execute TCode: SE11
2. Select the 'Data Type'  radio button and input the Segment name for instance E1EDP01.
3. Click the display and you can view the Component and the Component type details
4. Double click on the Component type respective to the QUALF or ACTION elements.
5. This displays the Domain as many of you know.
6. Once again double click on the Domain and go to the value range tab to view the details,

Issue: We had the 'Connection Test' failure when trying to ping to the EDI subsystem from the TCode SM59 and further the IDOC also fails with the below error. There are several causes and solutions that have been discussed on SDN but this one solution worked for us.
