• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE888 - Function &1 used in rule(s) but does not support event mode ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE888 indicates that a function used in a rule does not support the event mode. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDI) or Flexible Data Transfer (FDT) framework, where certain functions are expected to operate in specific modes, such as event mode or batch mode.
  Cause:
  
  Function Compatibility: The function you are trying to use in your rule is not designed to handle event-driven processing. Event mode is typically used for real-time processing, while some functions may only support batch processing.
  Incorrect Configuration: The rule may have been configured incorrectly, leading to the use of a function that is incompatible with the event mode.
  Version Issues: There may be discrepancies between the version of the function and the expected behavior in the event mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Function Documentation: Review the documentation for the function you are using to confirm whether it supports event mode. If it does not, you will need to find an alternative function that does.
  Modify the Rule: If the function is not compatible with event mode, consider modifying the rule to use a different function that supports the required mode.
  Change Processing Mode: If feasible, change the processing mode of your application or rule to batch mode, which may allow the use of the function without triggering the error.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address this issue or provide guidance on compatible functions.
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the rule to ensure that it behaves as expected without triggering the error.
