• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EIT_GW_COMMON014 - Liteal &1 is not of type integer. ?

  The SAP error message EIT_GW_COMMON014 with the description "Literal &1 is not of type integer" typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway or OData services when there is an issue with data types being passed in a request. This error indicates that a value expected to be an integer is not being recognized as such.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The most common cause of this error is that the value being sent in the request is not formatted as an integer. This could happen if:
  
  The value is a string that contains non-numeric characters.
  The value is null or empty.
  The value is a decimal or floating-point number instead of an integer.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Mapping: If there is a mismatch in the data model where the expected type is integer but the provided value is of a different type, this error can occur.
  
  
  Service Definition Issues: If the OData service is incorrectly defined or if there are issues in the metadata that define the expected types, this can lead to such errors.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Input Values: Ensure that the values being sent in the request are indeed integers. Remove any non-numeric characters and ensure that the value is not null or empty.
  
  
  Validate Data Types: Review the data model and ensure that the data types defined in the OData service match the types of the values being sent. If the service expects an integer, ensure that the value conforms to this requirement.
  
  
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the request and see the exact value being sent. This can help identify if the value is being transformed or formatted incorrectly before it reaches the service.
  
  
  Service Metadata: Check the service metadata (usually accessible via the $metadata endpoint) to confirm the expected data types for the fields in question.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application to catch such issues before they result in a service call, allowing for better user feedback and data validation.
