• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GEF_CORE_MSG062 - Attribute &1 = &2 cannot be converted to ESRI timestamp. ?

  The SAP error message GEF_CORE_MSG062, which states "Attribute &1 = &2 cannot be converted to ESRI timestamp," typically occurs in the context of integrating SAP with ESRI GIS (Geographic Information System) systems. This error indicates that there is an issue with converting a specific attribute value into a format that is compatible with ESRI's timestamp format.
  Cause:
  
  Data Format Mismatch: The attribute value being passed to ESRI does not conform to the expected timestamp format. ESRI typically expects timestamps in a specific format (e.g., ISO 8601).
  Invalid Data: The attribute may contain invalid or null values that cannot be interpreted as a valid timestamp.
  Time Zone Issues: If the timestamp includes time zone information, discrepancies in time zone handling between SAP and ESRI can lead to conversion failures.
  Data Type Issues: The attribute in SAP may not be of the correct data type (e.g., it may be a string instead of a date/time object).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Format: Ensure that the attribute value being sent to ESRI is in the correct format. Convert the timestamp to the expected format (e.g., YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ for UTC).
  Validate Data: Check the data for any null or invalid values. Ensure that all timestamps are valid and properly populated.
  Adjust Time Zones: If applicable, ensure that the time zone information is correctly handled and converted to match ESRI's expectations.
  Data Type Conversion: Ensure that the attribute is of the correct data type. If necessary, convert the data type in SAP before sending it to ESRI.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools or logs to trace the exact value being sent and identify where the conversion is failing.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP's official documentation for information on data types and formats, especially regarding date and time handling.
  ESRI Documentation: Check ESRI's documentation for the expected timestamp format and any specific requirements for data integration.
  Integration Tools: If you are using middleware or integration tools (like SAP PI/PO, SAP Cloud Platform Integration), consult their documentation for handling data transformations and mappings.
  Community Forums: Look for discussions in SAP Community or ESRI forums where similar issues have been addressed.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
