• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE408 - Only one of the path format, ESR path or proxy path has to be supplied ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE408 indicates that there is a conflict in the configuration where both the ESR path and the proxy path are being supplied simultaneously. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDI) or related integration scenarios where data is being processed or transformed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when both the ESR (Enterprise Services Repository) path and the proxy path are provided in the configuration. The system expects only one of these paths to be specified at a time. This can happen due to:
  
  Misconfiguration: The configuration settings in the integration scenario may have both paths defined inadvertently.
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping of data sources may be incorrectly set up, leading to both paths being populated.
  User Error: A user may have mistakenly entered values for both fields in the configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FDT_CORE408 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings where the error is occurring. Ensure that only one of the following paths is specified:
  
  ESR Path
  Proxy Path
  
  
  
  Modify Settings:
  
  If you need to use the ESR path, remove any entries in the proxy path field.
  Conversely, if you intend to use the proxy path, ensure that the ESR path is left blank.
  
  
  
  Validate Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, validate the configuration to ensure that the error no longer appears.
  
  
  Test the Integration: Once the configuration is corrected, test the integration scenario to confirm that it works as expected without triggering the error.
