• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REST_CORE_TEXTS014 - Invalid matrix parameter ';' in URI template & ?

  The SAP error message REST_CORE_TEXTS014 Invalid matrix parameter ';' in URI template & typically indicates that there is an issue with the way the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is constructed, particularly with matrix parameters. Matrix parameters are a way to pass additional parameters in a URI, and they are usually formatted as ;key=value.
  Cause:
  
  Malformed URI: The URI may contain an invalid or improperly formatted matrix parameter. For example, a semicolon (;) may be present without a corresponding key-value pair.
  Incorrect Parameter Usage: The URI might be using matrix parameters in a way that is not supported by the service or API you are trying to access.
  Missing Values: If a matrix parameter is defined but lacks a value, it can lead to this error.
  Special Characters: The presence of special characters in the URI that are not properly encoded can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the URI Format: Ensure that the URI is correctly formatted. Matrix parameters should follow the format ;key=value. If you have a semicolon, make sure it is followed by a valid key-value pair.
  Example of a correct format:
  /resource;param1=value1;param2=value2
  
  
  Remove Invalid Parameters: If you find any semicolons that do not have corresponding key-value pairs, remove them or correct them.
  
  
  Encode Special Characters: If your parameters contain special characters, make sure they are URL-encoded. For example, spaces should be replaced with %20.
  
  
  Review API Documentation: Check the API documentation for the service you are trying to access to ensure that you are using the correct parameters and format.
  
  
  Test with Minimal Parameters: If you are unsure which parameter is causing the issue, try simplifying the URI by removing parameters one by one to identify the problematic one.
  
  
  Consult Logs: If you have access to logs, check for any additional error messages or context that might help you identify the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Matrix Parameters: These are optional parameters that can be included in the URI to provide additional context or filtering for the request.
  RESTful APIs: Understanding how RESTful APIs work and how they handle URIs can help in constructing valid requests.
  URL Encoding: Familiarize yourself with URL encoding rules to ensure that your URIs are correctly formatted.
