How To Fix FDT_WD_TOOLS014 - No context data available, export not possible

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FDT_WD_TOOLS - Message Class for tools

• Message number: 014

• Message text: No context data available, export not possible

What causes this issue?

During the preparation of a simulation run, you have tried to create a
spreadsheet file with a field structure matching the signature of the
function to be simulated. However, the current function does not have
any context data objects assigned to its signature. Therefore, neither
exporting the data structure nor importing data is possible for this
function.

System Response

There can be no test data passed to the function for the simulation.

How to fix this error?

Check the function and decide whether the signature has been
intentionally left empty or not. Although it is acceptable to define
functions without context data objects, this is quite unusual and does
only make sense for functions that can generate results without having
to access context data. An example for such a function would be if a
function triggers an instance of a customer-defined expression type that
directly accesses system resources like a dictionary table and
calculates a result based on this data.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
