• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HTA_HDI_WSM503 - Destination '&1' for DevX has the wrong type ?

  The SAP error message HTA_HDI_WSM503 indicates that there is an issue with the destination configuration for the Development Experience (DevX) in the SAP HANA environment. Specifically, it suggests that the destination specified (denoted as '&1') is of the wrong type for the expected operation.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Destination Type: The destination configured in the SAP HANA database may not match the expected type for the operation you are trying to perform.

  Check Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP BTP cockpit and navigate to the "Destinations" section.
  Verify that the destination specified in the error message is correctly configured.
  Ensure that the destination type matches the expected type for the operation (e.g., HTTP, JDBC, etc.).
  
  
  
  Correct the Destination Type:
  
  If the destination type is incorrect, you may need to create a new destination with the correct type or modify the existing one to match the required type.
  
  
  
  Test the Destination:
  
  Use the "Test" feature in the destination configuration to ensure that it is reachable and correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Check for Required Parameters:
  
  Ensure that all required parameters for the destination are provided and correctly configured.
