• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER162 - &1: expected Boolean facet, found &2 ?

  The SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER162 indicates that there is an issue with the expected data type in a certain context, specifically related to a Boolean facet. The error message format suggests that the system was expecting a Boolean value (true/false) but found a different type of value instead.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The most common cause of this error is that the system is expecting a Boolean value (e.g., "true" or "false") but is receiving a different type of data, such as a string, number, or null value.
  Incorrect Configuration: This error can also occur if there is a misconfiguration in the data model or if the metadata definitions are not aligned with the actual data being processed.
  Parsing Issues: If the data is being parsed from an external source (like an XML or JSON file), the structure of the incoming data may not match the expected schema.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Input: Review the data being processed to ensure that all Boolean fields are correctly set to either "true" or "false". Look for any fields that may have been incorrectly populated with non-Boolean values.
  Validate Metadata: Ensure that the metadata definitions (like data types in the data model) are correctly defined and match the expected input. If there are discrepancies, update the metadata to reflect the correct data types.
  Debugging: If the error occurs during a specific operation, use debugging tools to trace the data flow and identify where the incorrect value is being introduced.
  Review Configuration: If the error is related to a specific configuration or setup, review the configuration settings to ensure they are correct and aligned with the expected data types.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or community forums for any known issues or additional guidance related to this specific error message.
