• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GEF_CORE_MSG046 - Geometry service &1 requires two points that are diagonal to each other. ?

  The SAP error message GEF_CORE_MSG046 indicates that a geometry service is expecting two points that are diagonal to each other, typically in the context of defining a rectangular area or bounding box in a spatial or mapping application. This error often arises when the input points provided do not meet the criteria for being diagonal corners of a rectangle.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following issues:
  
  Incorrect Point Input: The two points provided may not be diagonal corners. For example, if both points are on the same line (either horizontally or vertically), the service cannot interpret them as defining a rectangular area.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in how the coordinates were entered, leading to the same point being used twice or points that do not form a diagonal.
  Coordinate System Mismatch: If the points are in different coordinate systems or formats, the service may not be able to interpret them correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Verify Input Points: Ensure that the two points you are providing are indeed diagonal corners of a rectangle. For example, if Point A is (x1, y1) and Point B is (x2, y2), they should satisfy the condition that x1 ? x2 and y1 ? y2.
  Check for Duplicates: Make sure that the two points are not the same. If they are, you need to provide two distinct points.
  Coordinate System Consistency: Ensure that both points are in the same coordinate system and format. If necessary, convert them to a common coordinate system before passing them to the geometry service.
  Debugging: If you are using a programmatic interface, add logging to capture the values of the points being passed to the service to help identify any discrepancies.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Check the SAP Help Portal or relevant documentation for more details on the geometry service and its requirements.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if others have encountered similar issues and what solutions they found effective.
  Testing: If possible, test with known valid points to ensure that the geometry service is functioning correctly.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
