• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AXT_MODEL224 - The table is still used in the UI model. Remove the UI element first ?

  The SAP error message AXT_MODEL224 indicates that a specific table is still being referenced in the UI model, and therefore, it cannot be removed or modified until the UI element that is using it is removed first. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori or SAP UI5 applications where the UI model is tightly coupled with the underlying data model.
  Cause:
  
  UI Binding: The table you are trying to remove or modify is still bound to a UI element (like a table or a form) in the UI model.
  Data Model Dependency: The UI elements are dependent on the data model, and if the data model is altered without first addressing the UI elements, this error will occur.
  Active References: There are active references to the table in the UI, which prevents any changes to the underlying data structure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify UI Elements: Check the UI model to identify which UI elements are using the table in question. This can typically be done by reviewing the XML views or the JavaScript code where the UI elements are defined.
  
  
  Remove or Modify UI Elements: 
  
  If the UI elements are no longer needed, remove them from the UI model.
  If they are still needed, consider modifying them to use a different table or data source.
  
  
  
  Update the UI Model: After removing or modifying the UI elements, ensure that the UI model is updated accordingly.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making the necessary changes, test the application to ensure that it functions correctly without the removed table.
  
  
  Re-attempt the Operation: Once the UI elements are removed or modified, you should be able to proceed with the operation that was previously blocked by the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Fiori/UI5 Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for Fiori/UI5 for more details on managing UI models and data binding.
  Debugging Tools: Use debugging tools available in the SAP Web IDE or Business Application Studio to trace the bindings and identify where the table is being used.
  Version Control: If you are working in a team environment, ensure that you are following version control practices to avoid conflicts when modifying UI elements.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the AXT_MODEL224 error and successfully manage your UI model in SAP.
