• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE144 - Log constraint 'mandatory' defined but no log object provided ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE144 indicates that there is a log constraint defined as 'mandatory', but no log object has been provided in the context where this constraint is being enforced. This typically occurs in the context of Field Data Tool (FDT) configurations, where logging is required but not properly set up.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Log Object: The primary cause of this error is that a log object has not been specified in the configuration where a mandatory log constraint is defined.
  Configuration Error: There may be an oversight in the configuration settings where the log object should have been defined but was omitted.
  Inconsistent Settings: The settings for logging may not be consistent with the constraints defined in the FDT configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FDT_CORE144 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the FDT configuration where the error is occurring.
  Verify that a log object is defined in the relevant settings. If it is missing, you need to add the appropriate log object.
  
  
  
  Define Log Object:
  
  If you have identified that a log object is indeed missing, you will need to create or specify a log object that meets the requirements of the mandatory log constraint.
  Ensure that the log object is correctly linked to the relevant data fields or entities.
  
  
  
  Review Constraints:
  
  Review the constraints defined in your FDT configuration. If the log constraint is not necessary, consider modifying it to be non-mandatory if that aligns with your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that logging behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to the configuration for future reference and to assist other team members who may encounter similar issues.
