• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RAP_CMP_CHECKS096 - Sortable setting changed for property &1 of entity type &2. ?

  The SAP error message RAP_CMP_CHECKS096 indicates that there has been a change in the sortable setting for a property of an entity type in the context of the RAP (Rapid Application Programming) model. This typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the metadata definitions in the CDS (Core Data Services) view and the expectations of the RAP framework.
  Cause:
  
  Change in Sortable Property: The error is triggered when a property that was previously defined as sortable is now defined as non-sortable, or vice versa. This can happen due to changes in the underlying CDS view or entity definition.
  Inconsistent Metadata: If the metadata for the entity type has been modified (e.g., through an update or a change in the data model) without proper adjustments in the RAP configuration, it can lead to this error.
  Development Environment Issues: Sometimes, inconsistencies can arise from the development environment, such as transport issues or version mismatches.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the CDS View: Check the definition of the CDS view associated with the entity type. Ensure that the sortable property settings are consistent with the expected behavior in the RAP model.
  Adjust Sortable Settings: If you have changed the sortable setting of a property, ensure that all dependent components (like RAP service definitions) are updated accordingly.
  Regenerate Artifacts: After making changes to the CDS view or entity definitions, regenerate the RAP artifacts to ensure that the changes are reflected in the service and UI components.
  Check for Dependencies: Look for any dependent objects or services that might be affected by the change in the sortable property and update them as necessary.
  Transport Changes: If the changes were made in a development environment, ensure that they are properly transported to the target environment and that all related objects are included in the transport request.
  
  Related Information:
  
  RAP Model Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation on the RAP model for best practices and guidelines on defining entity types and properties.
  CDS Annotations: Familiarize yourself with the annotations used in CDS views, especially those related to sorting and filtering, to avoid similar issues in the future.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights and solutions from other developers who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RAP_CMP_CHECKS096 error and ensure that your entity type definitions are consistent and correctly configured.
