  The SAP error message APB_FPM_GUIBB006 with the description "Operator IS_EMPTY requires RTTI of search criterion" typically occurs in the context of using the Floorplan Manager (FPM) in SAP applications, particularly when dealing with search criteria in a user interface (UI) component.
  Cause:
  This error is generally caused by the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing Runtime Type Information (RTTI): The search criterion that you are trying to evaluate with the IS_EMPTY operator does not have the necessary runtime type information. This can happen if the search criterion is not properly defined or initialized in the application.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of the FPM application, where the search criteria are not set up correctly, leading to the inability to evaluate them.
  
  
  Data Binding Issues: If the data binding for the search criteria is not correctly established, it can lead to the application not being able to determine whether the criteria are empty.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the FPM application, particularly the search criteria. Ensure that all necessary fields are defined and that their properties are correctly set.
  
  
  Define RTTI: Ensure that the search criteria have the appropriate runtime type information defined. This may involve checking the data model and ensuring that the fields are correctly mapped.
  
  
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the execution of the application and identify where the RTTI is missing. This can help pinpoint the exact location in the code or configuration that is causing the issue.
  
  
  Update Components: If you are using custom components or enhancements, ensure that they are up to date and compatible with the version of SAP you are using.
