• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_CONF129 - Layout UIBBs can be placed only in INIT or CONF ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_CONF129 indicates that there is an issue with the layout configuration of the Floorplan Manager (FPM) application. Specifically, it states that "Layout UIBBs can be placed only in INIT or CONF," which means that the User Interface Building Blocks (UIBBs) are being placed in an incorrect configuration phase.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  Incorrect Phase Usage: UIBBs are being placed in a phase other than the allowed ones (INIT or CONF). The FPM framework has specific phases for different types of UIBBs, and placing them in an incorrect phase can lead to this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the FPM application or the component configuration that leads to this error.
  Development Errors: If you are developing or customizing the FPM application, there might be a mistake in the implementation of the UIBBs.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Open the FPM configuration for the application in question.
  Ensure that all UIBBs are placed in the correct phases (INIT or CONF). You can do this by reviewing the configuration settings in the FPM configuration editor.
  
  
  
  Review UIBB Placement:
  
  Verify that UIBBs that are not meant to be in the INIT or CONF phases are not mistakenly placed there. Move them to the appropriate phase if necessary.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you are developing or customizing the application, use the debugging tools available in SAP to trace where the error is occurring. Check the code for any logic that might be placing UIBBs in the wrong phase.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for FPM to understand the correct usage of UIBBs and the allowed phases for their placement.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the application to ensure that the error is resolved and that the UIBBs are functioning as expected.
