How To Fix FDT_WD_TOOLS026 - Invalid entry in Actions table; see long text

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FDT_WD_TOOLS - Message Class for tools

• Message number: 026

• Message text: Invalid entry in Actions table; see long text

What causes this issue?

You have simulated the execution of an expression or function, and as a
result of the simulation, the system presents one or more entries in the
predefined Actions table. You have clicked on an entry in the table, but
the system has determined that the selected table entry does not refer
to any of the BRFplus actions that exist in the database.
This is possible because the table entries are simple character strings.
These strings are not validated against the database to ensure that they
refer to BRFplus action objects.

System Response

The simulated expression or function can be executed, but if any
subsequent processing steps rely on the fact that all entries in the
Actions table refer to existing BRFplus actions, processing is likely to
fail.

How to fix this error?

Check your rules to find out where the invalid entries are written to
the Actions table. If you find that the entries are created
intentionally and that they are not used in further processing, you do
not need to take action. However, if there are further processing steps
under the assumption that all entries in the Actions table are in fact
actions (for example, to trigger these actions once again, or to apply
some modifications), you definitely must make sure that only names of
existing actions are written to the table.

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.
