• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG341 - Locally defined compositions cannot be used ?

  The SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG341 with the description "Locally defined compositions cannot be used" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Service Data Language (SDL) or when working with the Service Definition Language (SDL) in the context of SAP Cloud Platform or SAP Business Technology Platform.
  Cause:
  This error generally arises when there is an attempt to use a locally defined composition in a service definition or a data model where it is not allowed. In SAP's service definitions, compositions are used to define relationships between entities. However, if a composition is defined locally (i.e., within a specific context or service) and is being referenced in a way that is not permitted, this error will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Composition Definitions: Review the service definition or data model where the error is occurring. Ensure that any compositions you are trying to use are defined globally or are being referenced correctly.
  
  
  Use Global Definitions: If you need to use a composition across different services or contexts, define it globally rather than locally. This will allow it to be accessible wherever needed.
  
  
  Review Service Implementation: Ensure that the service implementation adheres to the guidelines for using compositions. If you are trying to use a locally defined composition in a way that is not supported, you may need to refactor your service definition.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for Service Data Language or the specific technology you are using. This can provide insights into the correct usage of compositions and any restrictions that may apply.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the service or data model to ensure that the error is resolved and that the functionality works as expected.
