• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_UI_FACADE004 - Service model version &1 has more than 4 characters ?

  The SAP error message CFD_UI_FACADE004 indicates that the service model version specified in your configuration exceeds the allowed character limit of 4 characters. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Cloud Platform or SAP Fiori applications where service model versions are defined.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the version string for the service model is longer than the permitted length. In SAP, service model versions are often defined using a format that includes a major version, minor version, and possibly a patch version, but the total length must not exceed 4 characters.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Service Model Version: Review the configuration where the service model version is defined. Ensure that it adheres to the 4-character limit. For example, instead of using a version like "1.0.0" or "2023", you might need to use a simplified version like "1.0" or "2023".
  
  
  Modify the Version: If you find that the version exceeds 4 characters, modify it to fit within the limit. This may involve changing the versioning scheme or truncating the version string.
  
  
  Update Configuration: After making the necessary changes, update the configuration in the relevant SAP system (e.g., SAP Gateway, SAP Fiori Launchpad) to reflect the new version.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After updating the version, test the application or service to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the functionality is intact.
