• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRF_AUTHORING540 - Invalid JSON schema. Object &1 does not contain 'properties' keyword. ?

  The SAP error message SRF_AUTHORING540 indicates that there is an issue with the JSON schema being used in your SAP application. Specifically, the error states that the object in question does not contain the required 'properties' keyword, which is essential for defining the structure of a JSON object.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Malformed JSON Schema: The JSON schema you are using is not correctly structured. The 'properties' keyword is a fundamental part of a JSON schema that defines the properties of an object.
  Missing 'properties' Keyword: The schema definition for the object is missing the 'properties' keyword, which is necessary for the schema to be valid.
  Incorrect Object Definition: The object being referenced may not be defined correctly in the schema, leading to the absence of the 'properties' keyword.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the JSON Schema:
  
  Open the JSON schema file that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the schema includes the 'properties' keyword at the appropriate level. A valid JSON schema should look something like this:
  {
    "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "propertyName": {
        "type": "string"
      }
    }
  }
  
  
  
  
  Validate the JSON Schema:
  
  Use a JSON schema validator tool to check the validity of your schema. This can help identify any structural issues or missing keywords.
  
  
  
  Correct the Object Definition:
  
  If the object is defined elsewhere, ensure that it is correctly structured and includes the 'properties' keyword.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Refer to the official SAP documentation or JSON schema documentation to ensure that you are following the correct schema structure.
