• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTR_GUI882 - The path has to end with '\' or '/' ?

  The SAP error message FTR_GUI882 indicates that a file path provided in the system does not end with a backslash (\) or a forward slash (/). This is a common requirement in many systems to ensure that the path is correctly interpreted as a directory rather than a file.
  
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs when:
  
  A user is trying to specify a directory path in a configuration or transaction, but the path does not end with the required slash.
  The path may have been manually entered or copied from another source without the necessary trailing slash.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Path: Review the path you have entered in the relevant field. Ensure that it ends with either a backslash (\) for Windows systems or a forward slash (/) for Unix/Linux systems.
  
  
  Modify the Path: If the path does not end with the required character, simply add it. For example:
  
  Change C:\MyDirectory to C:\MyDirectory\
  Change /usr/local/mydir
