How To Fix FDT_WD_TOOLS027 - Simulation canceled due to ambiguous context data; see long text

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FDT_WD_TOOLS - Message Class for tools

• Message number: 027

• Message text: Simulation canceled due to ambiguous context data; see long text

What causes this issue?

For the current expression, there are two or more context data objects
defined with the same name '&v1&'. Although BRFplus identifies its
elements internally by their ID rather than by their name, the system
still requires unique element names for each context data object when it
comes to simulation. Therefore, all context data objects passed to an
expression that you want to simulate must have a unique name.

System Response

The expression cannot be simulated.

How to fix this error?

Make sure that all context data objects of the current expression have a
unique name. To accomplish this, proceed as follows:
In the BRFplus workbench, navigate to an object with an ambiguous name.
Expand the <ZH>General</> section to see the object's administrative
data.
On the <ZH>General</> tab, click <ZH>Rename</> next to the <ZH>Name</>
field and change the object name.
Repeat the above steps until there are no more context data objects left
with duplicate names.

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.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_WD_TOOLS027 - Simulation canceled due to ambiguous context data; see long text ?

  The SAP error message FDT_WD_TOOLS027 indicates that a simulation has been canceled due to ambiguous context data. This typically occurs in the context of using the SAP Fiori tools or the Web Dynpro framework, where the system is unable to determine the correct context for the simulation due to conflicting or unclear data.
  Cause:
  
  Ambiguous Context: The error arises when the system encounters multiple possible contexts for the data being processed, leading to confusion about which context to use.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the Web Dynpro application or the Fiori app, such as incorrect binding of data elements or context nodes.
  Data Inconsistency: The data being used in the simulation may be inconsistent or not properly defined, leading to ambiguity.
  Missing or Incorrect Parameters: Required parameters for the simulation may be missing or incorrectly set, causing the system to be unable to resolve the context.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Context Configuration: Review the context nodes and their bindings in the Web Dynpro application or Fiori app. Ensure that they are correctly defined and that there are no overlapping or conflicting definitions.
  Review Data Model: Ensure that the data model being used is consistent and that all required fields are populated correctly. Look for any missing or null values that could lead to ambiguity.
  Parameter Validation: Verify that all necessary parameters for the simulation are provided and correctly configured. Ensure that there are no typos or incorrect values.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the execution of the application and identify where the ambiguity arises. This can help pinpoint the exact location in the code or configuration that is causing the issue.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific application or framework you are using. There may be known issues or additional configuration steps required.
  Seek Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a technical expert who has experience with the specific application or framework.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  Training and Documentation: Review training materials or documentation related to the specific SAP tools you are using, as they may provide insights into best practices for context management.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the FDT_WD_TOOLS027 error in your SAP environment.
