• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSWADMDERR2046 - SYSTEM, PUBLIC W3C, DTD, EN must be upper case ?

  The SAP error message RSWADMDERR2046 indicates an issue related to the XML processing in SAP, specifically concerning the Document Type Definition (DTD) declaration in XML files. The error message states that the language code (in this case, "EN" for English) must be in upper case.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when the XML document being processed contains a DTD declaration where the language code is not formatted correctly. In XML, language codes should be specified in uppercase letters according to the W3C standards. For example, "en" should be "EN".
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should check the XML file that is being processed and ensure that the DTD declaration is correctly formatted. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Locate the XML File: Identify the XML file that is causing the error. This could be a file generated by an SAP process or an external XML file being imported.
  
  
  Check the DTD Declaration: Open the XML file and look for the DTD declaration. It typically looks something like this:
  <!DOCTYPE root-element SYSTEM "some.dtd">
  
  
  Verify Language Code: If there is a language code specified in the DTD or anywhere in the XML, ensure that it is in uppercase. For example, change:
  <language>en</language>
  to:
  <language>EN</language>
  
  
  Test the XML: After making the necessary changes, save the XML file and re-run the process that was generating the error to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  Validate XML: Optionally, you can use an XML validator to ensure that the XML file is well-formed and adheres to the required standards.
  
  
  Related Information:
