• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_IC_APPL_UI_BDC125 - Global types cannot be used for class name; enter a new class name ?

  The SAP error message CRM_IC_APPL_UI_BDC125 indicates that there is an issue with the class name being used in the context of the SAP CRM Interaction Center (IC) application. Specifically, the error states that "Global types cannot be used for class name; enter a new class name." This typically occurs when a class name that is defined as a global type is being incorrectly used in a context where a local class name is expected.
  Cause:
  
  Global Type Usage: The error arises when a global type (like a global class or interface) is being referenced in a place where a local class name is required. In SAP ABAP, global types are not allowed in certain contexts, such as when defining a class for specific UI components.
  Naming Conflicts: There may be a naming conflict where a global type has the same name as a local class or is being referenced incorrectly.
  Development Environment Issues: Sometimes, issues in the development environment or incorrect configurations can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change Class Name: The most straightforward solution is to change the class name to ensure it does not conflict with any global types. Use a unique name that adheres to the naming conventions of your project.
  Check Class Definitions: Review the class definitions in your code to ensure that you are not inadvertently using a global type where a local class is expected.
  Use Local Classes: If you need to define a class for a specific UI component, ensure that you are using a local class instead of a global one.
  Review Code for References: Check your code for any references to global types and replace them with appropriate local types or classes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or the ABAP programming guidelines for more information on class definitions and naming conventions.
