• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_CONF142 - Action &1 is not defined in feeder class (method GET_DEFINITION) ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_CONF142 indicates that an action specified in the configuration of a Floorplan Manager (FPM) application is not defined in the feeder class, specifically in the method GET_DEFINITION. This typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the configuration of the FPM application and the implementation in the feeder class.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Action Definition: The action you are trying to use in your FPM application is not defined in the feeder class. This could be due to a missing implementation or a typo in the action name.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the FPM application may reference an action that does not exist in the feeder class.
  Changes in Feeder Class: If the feeder class has been modified (e.g., actions were removed or renamed) without updating the FPM configuration, this error can occur.
  Transport Issues: If the feeder class was transported to a different system without the corresponding configuration, it may lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Feeder Class: Verify that the action specified in the FPM configuration is indeed implemented in the feeder class. You can do this by checking the method GET_DEFINITION in the feeder class.
  Update Configuration: If the action is missing, you can either:
  
  Add the action to the feeder class.
  Remove or correct the action reference in the FPM configuration if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  Consistency Check: Ensure that the FPM configuration and the feeder class are consistent. If changes were made to either, make sure they are reflected in both places.
  Transport Management: If this issue arose after a transport, ensure that both the feeder class and the FPM configuration were transported together and are in sync.
  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, you can debug the application to see where the error is being triggered and gather more context about the missing action.
  
  Related Information:
  
  FPM Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the FPM configuration settings in transaction FPM or FPM_CONF.
  Feeder Class Documentation: Review the documentation for the feeder class to understand the available actions and their expected behavior.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific version of SAP you are using.
  Community Forums: Consider searching or posting in SAP community forums for additional insights or similar experiences from other users.
