• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMS_ANL_OVERVIEW000 - Overview cannot be presented; specify the import parameter (entity GUID) ?

  The SAP error message CMS_ANL_OVERVIEW000 indicates that the system is unable to present the overview of a specific entity because the required import parameter, specifically the entity GUID (Globally Unique Identifier), has not been specified. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Content Management System (CMS) or when dealing with analytical applications.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Entity GUID: The primary cause of this error is that the system expects an entity GUID to be passed as a parameter, but it is either missing or not correctly specified in the function call or report.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the application or report that is supposed to generate the overview.
  Data Issues: The entity you are trying to access may not exist or may have been deleted, leading to the inability to retrieve its overview.
  
  Solution:
  
  Specify the Entity GUID: Ensure that the entity GUID is correctly specified in the function call or report. This may involve checking the code or configuration where the overview is being generated.
  Check for Validity: Verify that the GUID you are using corresponds to an existing entity in the system. You can do this by querying the relevant database tables or using transaction codes that allow you to view entities.
  Review Configuration: If you are working with a custom report or application, review the configuration settings to ensure that all required parameters are being passed correctly.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can step through the code to see where the parameter is being set and identify why it might be missing.
