• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG184 - Lower limit of cardinality must not be "*". ?

  The SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG184 indicates that there is an issue with the cardinality definition in a data model or configuration, specifically that the lower limit of cardinality is set to "*". In SAP, cardinality defines the number of instances of one entity that can or must be associated with instances of another entity.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the lower limit of cardinality is defined as "", which is not valid. In cardinality definitions, the lower limit should be a specific integer (e.g., 0, 1, 2, etc.) rather than a wildcard character. The use of "" typically implies an unlimited number, which is not acceptable for the lower limit.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the cardinality settings in your data model or configuration. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Access the Data Model: Open the relevant data model or configuration where the cardinality is defined.
  
  
  Locate the Cardinality Definition: Find the specific relationship or association that is causing the error.
  
  
  Modify the Lower Limit: Change the lower limit of cardinality from "*" to a valid integer. For example:
  
  If the relationship can have zero or more instances, set the lower limit to 0.
  If at least one instance is required, set it to 1.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes.
  
  
  Test the Configuration: Run the relevant transaction or process to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Cardinality Definitions: Cardinality is typically defined in the format of (lower limit, upper limit). For example, (0, n) means zero or more instances, while (1, 1) means exactly one instance.
  Data Model Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or data model guidelines for specific rules regarding cardinality settings.
  Error Logs: Check the error logs for additional context or related errors that may help in troubleshooting.
