  The SAP error message SADL_RAP_OPXY_EDMX054 typically occurs in the context of the SAP RAP (Rapid Application Programming) model when there is a mismatch between the expected EDM (Entity Data Model) type and the actual type defined in the metadata for an entity type or property.
  Cause:
  The error message indicates that there is a discrepancy in the data types defined in the EDM for a specific entity type and property. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Type Mismatch: The property in the entity type is defined with a different EDM type than what is expected or required by the RAP framework.
  Incorrect Mapping: There may be an issue with how the entity type is mapped to the underlying database or service layer, leading to a mismatch in expected data types.
  Changes in Metadata: If there have been recent changes to the entity definitions or the underlying database schema, the EDM might not be updated accordingly.
  Inconsistent Annotations: Annotations that define the behavior or characteristics of the entity or property might not align with the actual data type.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check EDM Definitions: Review the EDM definitions for the entity type and the specific property mentioned in the error message. Ensure that the data types are correctly defined and match the expected types.
  
  
  Validate Mappings: Ensure that the mappings between the entity type and the underlying data source (like a database table) are correct. Check for any discrepancies in data types.
  
  
  Update Metadata: If there have been changes to the entity or property definitions, ensure that the metadata is updated. You may need to regenerate the service or refresh the metadata.
  
  
  Review Annotations: Check the annotations associated with the entity type and property. Ensure that they are consistent with the expected data types and behaviors.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider enabling debugging or logging to get more detailed information about where the mismatch is occurring.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for RAP and EDM to understand the expected data types and how to define them correctly.
