• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_CTR_T_VIOLATION004 - RAP Contract Violation: Repsonse with unrequested keys for READ with &1 ?

  The SAP error message SADL_CTR_T_VIOLATION004 indicates a contract violation in the context of the RAP (Rapid Application Programming) model. This specific error occurs when a READ operation returns unrequested keys, which means that the response from the data source includes keys that were not specified in the request.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Mismatch in Request and Response: The READ request specifies certain fields or keys, but the response includes additional keys that were not requested.
  Incorrect Data Model Configuration: The data model may not be correctly defined, leading to unexpected behavior in the data retrieval process.
  Inconsistent Annotations: Annotations in the RAP model might not align with the expected behavior, causing the system to return extra keys.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the READ Request: Ensure that the READ request is correctly defined and only includes the keys and fields that are necessary for the operation. Review the parameters being passed in the request.
  
  
  Review the Data Model: Examine the RAP data model configuration to ensure that it is set up correctly. Pay attention to the definitions of entities, associations, and their annotations.
  
  
  Adjust Annotations: If there are annotations that dictate the behavior of the READ operation, verify that they are correctly defined. This includes checking for any @odata annotations that might affect the response structure.
  
  
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the execution of the READ operation. This can help identify where the unrequested keys are being introduced.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for RAP and SADL (SAP ABAP Programming Model for SAP Fiori) to understand the expected behavior and configuration options.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the READ operation again to ensure that it now returns the expected keys without any violations.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  RAP Model: The RAP model is designed to simplify the development of Fiori applications by providing a clear structure for defining business objects and their interactions.
