• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SHDI064 - File name has no suffix/extension (.gif / .bmp ). ?

  The SAP error message SHDI064 indicates that a file you are trying to upload or process does not have a valid suffix or extension. This is typically encountered when dealing with file uploads in SAP systems, particularly when the system expects certain file types (like images) that have specific extensions.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The file you are trying to upload does not have a recognized file extension (e.g., .gif, .bmp, .jpg, etc.).
  The file extension is missing entirely, or it is not one of the expected types.
  The file may have an extension that is not supported by the SAP application you are using.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the File Name: Ensure that the file you are trying to upload has a proper extension. For example, if you are uploading an image, it should end with .gif, .bmp, .jpg, etc.
  
  
  Rename the File: If the file does not have an extension, rename it to include a valid extension. For example, if your file is named "image", rename it to "image.gif".
  
  
  Verify File Format: Make sure that the file format matches the extension. For instance, if the file is named "image.gif", it should actually be a GIF file. You can check this by opening the file in an image viewer.
  
  
  Use Supported Formats: Ensure that you are using a file format that is supported by the SAP application you are working with. Refer to the documentation or help files for the specific SAP module to find out which formats are acceptable.
