• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMS058 - HTTP storage allows only binary data ?

  The SAP error message CMS058 indicates that there is an issue with the HTTP storage configuration in the SAP system, specifically that it only allows binary data. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to store or retrieve non-binary data (like text or other formats) in a storage area that is configured to handle only binary data.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Data Type: The data being sent to the HTTP storage is not in binary format. This could happen if you are trying to upload a file that is not a binary file (e.g., a text file or an image in a non-binary format).
  Configuration Issues: The HTTP storage might be misconfigured to accept only binary data, and the application logic might not be handling the data types correctly.
  File Format Issues: The file format being uploaded may not be compatible with the binary storage requirements.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Type: Ensure that the data you are trying to store is indeed binary. If you are trying to upload a file, make sure it is in a binary format (e.g., .jpg, .pdf, .zip).
  Review Application Logic: If you are developing an application that interacts with the HTTP storage, review the code to ensure that it correctly handles binary data. You may need to convert non-binary data to binary before storage.
  Configuration Review: Check the configuration settings for the HTTP storage in your SAP system. Ensure that it is set up correctly to handle the types of data you intend to store.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application to catch and manage this error gracefully, providing feedback to the user about the data type requirements.
