• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_GW_UI009 - Changes only supported in batch mode ?

  The SAP error message CFD_GW_UI009, which states "Changes only supported in batch mode," typically occurs in the context of using the SAP Gateway and OData services. This error indicates that the operation you are trying to perform (such as creating, updating, or deleting records) is not supported in the current mode of execution and must be done in batch mode instead.
  Cause:
  
  Single Operation Attempt: The error usually arises when a user attempts to perform a change operation (like POST, PUT, or DELETE) on an entity set that is configured to only allow batch processing.
  Service Configuration: The OData service may be configured to handle changes in batch mode only, which means that individual requests for changes are not permitted.
  Client-Side Limitations: The client application (like SAP Fiori or another UI) may not be set up to handle batch requests properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use Batch Requests: Instead of sending individual requests for each change, group multiple changes into a single batch request. This can be done using the OData batch processing capabilities.
  
  In OData, you can create a batch request by wrapping multiple operations in a single HTTP request.
  Ensure that the batch request is formatted correctly according to the OData protocol.
  
  
  
  Check Service Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific OData service you are using to understand its capabilities and limitations regarding batch processing.
  
  
  Adjust Client Configuration: If you are using a custom application or a specific UI framework, ensure that it is configured to support batch operations. This may involve using specific libraries or methods that handle batch requests.
  
  
  Consult with Developers: If you are not familiar with how to implement batch requests, consult with your development team or SAP consultants who can assist in modifying the client-side code to support batch processing.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  OData Protocol: Familiarize yourself with the OData protocol, especially the batch processing section, to understand how to structure batch requests.
  SAP Gateway: Review the SAP Gateway documentation for information on how to configure and use OData services effectively.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums or support channels for additional insights and shared experiences from other users who may have encountered the same issue.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CFD_GW_UI009 error and successfully perform the required changes in batch mode.
