• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO217 - DDIC type was removed ?

  The SAP error message "FDT_CHANGE_INFO217 DDIC type was removed" typically occurs in the context of the SAP Fiori Design Time (FDT) or when working with Data Dictionary (DDIC) objects in SAP. This error indicates that a Data Dictionary type that was previously referenced in your application or configuration has been removed or is no longer available.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of DDIC Type: The most common cause is that a Data Dictionary type (like a structure, table, or data element) has been deleted or modified in a way that it is no longer recognized by the system.
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a system where transports have been moved, it’s possible that the DDIC type was removed in the target system but still referenced in your application.
  Version Mismatch: If you are using a version of an application or component that expects a certain DDIC type, and that type has been removed in the current version, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check DDIC Objects: Verify if the DDIC type that is causing the error still exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to search for the type.
  Restore or Recreate: If the DDIC type has been deleted, you may need to restore it from a transport request or recreate it if it is necessary for your application.
  Update References: If the DDIC type has been changed or replaced, update your application or configuration to reference the new type.
  Transport Management: Ensure that all necessary transports have been correctly imported into the target system, and that there are no inconsistencies between development and production environments.
  Check for Dependencies: Look for any dependencies or references in your application that might still be pointing to the removed DDIC type and update them accordingly.
  
  Related Information:
