How To Fix BSP_DYN_MSG_DESIGN020 - Design obj. &1 and ref. design obj. &2 use different genIL components

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BSP_DYN_MSG_DESIGN - Messages for DESIGN

• Message number: 020

• Message text: Design obj. &1 and ref. design obj. &2 use different genIL components

What causes this issue?

The &V1& <DS:GLOS.4837120770E3429AE10000000A421948>design object</> and
the &V2& <DS:GLOS.483BCF4C7BB44299E10000000A421948>reference design
object</> use different components of the
<DS:GLOS.483BCB1E7BB44299E10000000A421948>generic interaction layer</>
(genIL). Since the &V1& design object and the &V2& reference design
object use identical <DS:GLOS.481317F4B74C429BE10000000A421948>business
object layer</> (BOL) objects, they must have the same genIL component.

System Response

The &V1& design object contains an error.

How to fix this error?

Remove the &V2& reference design object from the &V1& design object, and
assign another reference design object from the same genIL component.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BSP_DYN_MSG_DESIGN020 - Design obj. &1 and ref. design obj. &2 use different genIL components ?

  The SAP error message BSP_DYN_MSG_DESIGN020 indicates that there is a mismatch between the design object and the reference design object in terms of the GenIL (Generic Interaction Layer) components they are using. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Web Dynpro or SAP Business Server Pages (BSP) applications where design objects are expected to be compatible with their referenced components.
  Cause:
  
  Different GenIL Components: The primary cause of this error is that the design object (e.g., a UI component) and the reference design object are based on different GenIL components. This can happen if the objects were created or modified independently without ensuring they are aligned in terms of their underlying data model.
  Inconsistent Configuration: Changes made to one of the components without corresponding updates to the other can lead to this inconsistency.
  Transport Issues: If design objects were transported between systems (e.g., from development to production), there may be discrepancies in the GenIL components if not all related objects were transported correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check GenIL Component Assignment: Verify that both the design object and the reference design object are using the same GenIL component. You can do this by checking the configuration in the SAP GUI or the relevant development environment.
  Align Design Objects: If they are using different GenIL components, you may need to either change the design object to use the same GenIL component as the reference or vice versa. This may involve modifying the design object in the development environment.
  Recreate Objects: If the objects are too far out of sync, it may be easier to recreate one of the objects to ensure they are aligned correctly.
  Transport Consistency: Ensure that all related objects are transported together to avoid inconsistencies. Check the transport logs for any missing objects.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific components you are working with for any additional guidance or known issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Development Environment: Use the SAP Web IDE or the relevant development tools to inspect the design objects and their configurations.
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the application to ensure that the error is resolved and that the application behaves as expected.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a developer who has experience with BSP or Web Dynpro applications for further assistance.
