Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_IF_INA_JSON005 - Boolean tag must have value 'true' or 'false' (use constants!) ?

  The SAP error message ESH_IF_INA_JSON005 indicates that there is an issue with a Boolean tag in the JSON data being processed. Specifically, it means that a Boolean value is expected to be either 'true' or 'false', but the value provided does not meet this requirement.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Value: The JSON data being sent to the SAP system contains a Boolean field that has a value other than 'true' or 'false'. This could be due to a typo, incorrect data type, or a misunderstanding of the expected format.
  Data Formatting Issues: The JSON structure may not be properly formatted, leading to misinterpretation of the Boolean values.
  Integration Issues: If the JSON is generated by an external system or application, there may be a bug or misconfiguration in that system that causes it to send invalid Boolean values.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check JSON Structure: Review the JSON data being sent to ensure that all Boolean fields are correctly set to either 'true' or 'false'. For example:
  {
      "isActive": true,
      "isDeleted": false
  }
  
  Validate Data Source: If the JSON is generated by an external application, check the logic in that application to ensure it is correctly generating Boolean values.
  Use Constants: Ensure that the Boolean values are being represented as constants in the code, if applicable. For example, in many programming languages, you should use true and false without quotes.
  Debugging: If you have access to logs or debugging tools, use them to trace the source of the JSON data and identify where the incorrect value is being set.
  Testing: After making corrections, test the integration again to ensure that the error does not occur.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or specific documentation related to the integration you are working with for more details on the expected JSON format.
  JSON Validators: Use online JSON validators to check the structure and values of your JSON data before sending it to SAP.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application to catch and log such errors for easier troubleshooting in the future.
  
  By ensuring that all Boolean values are correctly formatted and validated, you should be able to resolve the ESH_IF_INA_JSON005 error.
