• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_RUNTIME096 - $$skiptoken and $$deltatoken are not allowed together ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_RUNTIME096 $$skiptoken and $$deltatoken are not allowed together typically occurs in the context of OData services when a client attempts to use both the $skiptoken and $deltatoken query options in a single request. These two options are used for different purposes in OData:
  
  $skiptoken: This is used for pagination, allowing clients to retrieve the next set of results in a paged response.
  $deltatoken: This is used for change tracking, allowing clients to retrieve only the changes that have occurred since a previous request.
  
  Cause
  The error arises because the OData protocol does not allow the use of both tokens in the same request. This is a design choice to prevent ambiguity in the response, as the server would not be able to determine whether to paginate the results or return only the changes.
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that your OData requests do not include both $skiptoken and $deltatoken at the same time. Here are some steps you can take:
  
  
  Review Your Request: Check the OData request being sent to the server. Ensure that you are using either $skiptoken or $deltatoken, but not both.
  
  
  Modify Client Logic: If your client application is programmatically generating requests, you may need to adjust the logic to ensure that it only includes one of these tokens based on the context of the request.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the requests to ensure that they work as expected without triggering the error.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP OData documentation for more details on how to properly use pagination and change tracking in your specific version of SAP.

  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your OData requests are correctly formatted.
