• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/TOOLS_CC001 - The source key (&1) of ET_KEY_LINK is not contained in IT_KEY ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/TOOLS_CC001 indicates that there is a mismatch between the source key provided in the key link and the keys available in the internal table IT_KEY. This typically occurs in the context of Business Object Framework (BOF) operations, where the system expects certain keys to be present in the internal table for processing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Key: The source key (&1) specified in the key link is not found in the internal table IT_KEY. This can happen if the key was not properly initialized or if there was an error in the data retrieval process.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data integrity, such as missing records in the database that should correspond to the keys being processed.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the Business Object or the key link may be incorrect, leading to the system looking for keys that do not exist.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Key Initialization: Ensure that the internal table IT_KEY is properly populated with the expected keys before the operation that triggers the error. You may need to debug the code to see where the keys are being populated.
  Validate Data: Check the database or the source from which the keys are being retrieved to ensure that the expected records exist. If records are missing, you may need to investigate why they are not present.
  Review Configuration: Review the configuration of the Business Object and the key link to ensure that they are set up correctly. Make sure that the keys being referenced are valid and correspond to the correct data model.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code to manage situations where keys may not be found, allowing for graceful degradation or informative logging.
