  The SAP error message ARBFND_FRW413 417 "Expectation Failed" typically indicates that there is an issue with the HTTP request being sent to the server.

  Causes:
  
  HTTP Expect Header: The client may be sending an Expect: 100-continue header, which the server does not support or is unable to process.
  Server Configuration: The server may not be configured to handle the expectations set by the client, leading to the failure.
  Network Issues: There could be network-related issues that prevent the request from being processed correctly.

  Solutions:
  
  Remove the Expect Header: If you have control over the client application, try removing the Expect: 100-continue header from the HTTP request. This can often resolve the issue.
  Server Configuration: Check the server configuration to ensure it can handle the expectations set by the client. This may involve adjusting settings in the web server or application server.
  Update Client Libraries: If you are using a specific library or framework to make HTTP requests, ensure it is up to date, as newer versions may handle expectations better.
  Check Network Configuration: Ensure that there are no firewalls or proxies that might be interfering with the HTTP requests.
  Debugging: Use tools like Postman or cURL to manually send requests to the server and see if you can replicate the issue. This can help isolate whether the problem is with the client or the server.
