• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RAP_CMP_CHECKS088 - Property &1 of entity type &2 set to nullable. ?

  The SAP error message RAP_CMP_CHECKS088 indicates that a property of an entity type in the RAP (Rapid Application Programming) model is set to nullable, which may not be allowed in certain contexts or configurations. This error typically arises during the development or execution of a RAP-based application when the system encounters a property that is defined as nullable but is being used in a way that requires it to be non-nullable.
  Cause:
  
  Nullable Property Definition: The property in question is defined in the entity type with the nullable attribute set to true. This means that the property can accept null values.
  Business Logic Constraints: The business logic or the application requirements may dictate that this property should not be nullable in certain scenarios, leading to a conflict.
  Data Model Configuration: The data model may have been incorrectly configured, or there may be inconsistencies in the definitions of the entity types and their properties.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Entity Definition: Check the definition of the entity type and the specific property that is causing the error. Ensure that the property is defined correctly according to the business requirements.
  Change Nullable Setting: If the property should not be nullable based on the business logic, modify the entity definition to set the property as non-nullable. This can typically be done in the ABAP CDS (Core Data Services) view or the RAP model definition.
  @end-user-text.label: 'Your Property'
  yourProperty : String(255) not null;
  
  Adjust Business Logic: If the property is intended to be nullable, review the business logic that is using this property. Ensure that it can handle null values appropriately, or adjust the logic to avoid using the property in contexts where it cannot be null.
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the application to ensure that the error is resolved and that the application behaves as expected.
