• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT_ODATA_TST132 - HTTP header in batch section contains no "Content-Type: .. boundary". ?

  The error message "ECATT_ODATA_TST132 HTTP header in batch section contains no 'Content-Type: .. boundary'" typically occurs in the context of SAP eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) when working with OData services. This error indicates that the HTTP request being sent in a batch operation is missing the required Content-Type header that specifies the boundary for the multipart content.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Content-Type Header: The HTTP request for a batch operation is expected to include a Content-Type header that specifies the media type and boundary for the multipart request. If this header is missing, the server cannot process the request correctly.
  Incorrect Configuration: The eCATT script or configuration may not be set up correctly to include the necessary headers for the batch request.
  OData Service Limitations: The OData service being called may have specific requirements for batch processing that are not being met.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check eCATT Script: Review the eCATT script to ensure that it is correctly configured to include the Content-Type header in the batch request. The header should look something like this:
  Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=batch_<unique_id>
  Ensure that the boundary is correctly defined and matches the boundaries used in the body of the request.
  
  
  Modify Batch Request: If you are manually constructing the batch request, ensure that you include the Content-Type header with the appropriate boundary. The request should be structured according to the OData batch processing specifications.
  
  
  Use Standard Tools: If you are using custom code or tools to generate the batch request, consider using standard SAP tools or libraries that handle OData batch requests properly, as they will automatically include the necessary headers.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for eCATT and OData services to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for batch processing.
  
  
  Test with Postman or Similar Tool: If possible, test the OData batch request using a tool like Postman to see if the issue persists outside of eCATT. This can help isolate whether the problem is with the eCATT configuration or the OData service itself.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  OData Batch Processing: Familiarize yourself with the OData protocol, especially the specifications for batch processing, which can be found in the OData documentation.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address known issues with eCATT and OData services.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or support channels where similar issues may have been discussed, as other users may have encountered and resolved the same problem.
  
  By ensuring that the Content-Type header is correctly included in your batch requests, you should be able to resolve the ECATT_ODATA_TST132 error.
