• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GEF_CORE_MSG077 - If single timestamp is provided, from and to timestamps must not be empty ?

  The SAP error message GEF_CORE_MSG077 typically occurs in the context of data processing or data extraction when dealing with timestamps. This error indicates that when a single timestamp is provided, the system expects both "from" and "to" timestamps to be specified, and if they are not, it raises this error.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  A single timestamp is provided in a function or API call that requires a range of timestamps (i.e., both "from" and "to" timestamps).
  The system is unable to interpret the provided timestamp correctly because it lacks the necessary context (the range).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Provide Both Timestamps: Ensure that both "from" and "to" timestamps are provided in your request. If you are trying to filter data based on a specific time, you should define the range clearly.
  
  Example: Instead of providing just one timestamp, provide a range like:
  
  From: 2023-01-01 00:00:00
  To: 2023-01-01 23:59:59
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Input Parameters: Review the parameters being passed to the function or API to ensure that they are correctly defined and not empty.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are using a specific function or API, refer to the relevant SAP documentation to understand the expected input format and requirements.
  
  
  Debugging: If you are developing or customizing a solution, use debugging tools to trace the values being passed to the function and ensure they meet the expected criteria.
