• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMFND/GIS_GSP011 - Object Geometry is required to add/edit ESRI feature ?

  The SAP error message /SMFND/GIS_GSP011 Object Geometry is required to add/edit ESRI feature typically occurs in the context of working with geographic information systems (GIS) within SAP, particularly when dealing with ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute) features. This error indicates that the system requires a geometry object to be defined for the feature you are trying to add or edit.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Geometry: The most common cause of this error is that the geometry data (such as points, lines, or polygons) is not provided or is missing when attempting to create or update an ESRI feature.
  Incorrect Data Format: The geometry data may be in an incorrect format or not conforming to the expected structure required by the ESRI feature.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the SAP GIS settings that prevent the proper handling of geometry data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Provide Geometry Data: Ensure that you are providing the necessary geometry data when adding or editing the ESRI feature. This could involve:
  
  Defining the geometry in the correct format (e.g., WKT - Well-Known Text, WKB - Well-Known Binary).
  Using the appropriate tools or interfaces to create the geometry before attempting to save the feature.
  
  
  
  Check Data Format: Verify that the geometry data you are providing is in the correct format and adheres to the specifications required by the ESRI feature. You may need to convert or transform the data if it is not in the expected format.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in your SAP GIS environment to ensure that everything is set up correctly for handling geometry data. This may involve:
  
  Reviewing the data model and ensuring that geometry fields are correctly defined.
  Ensuring that any necessary extensions or plugins for ESRI integration are properly installed and configured.
  
  
  
  Use GIS Tools: Utilize SAP GIS tools or transaction codes that facilitate the creation and editing of geographic features. These tools often provide user-friendly interfaces for defining geometry.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources related to GIS and ESRI integration for specific guidelines and examples on how to work with geometry data.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
