• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ST_BUILDER_MESSAGES014 - Attributes must not contain deep contents ?

  The SAP error message ST_BUILDER_MESSAGES014 with the description "Attributes must not contain deep contents" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Business Application Studio or when working with SAP UI5 applications. This error indicates that there is an issue with the structure of the data being passed to a UI component, particularly regarding the attributes of a model.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Deep Structures: The attributes of a model or entity are expected to be simple types (like strings, numbers, etc.) but instead contain complex or nested structures (deep contents).
  Data Binding Issues: When binding data to UI components, if the data structure does not match the expected format, this error can occur.
  Incorrect Metadata: The metadata definition for the OData service may not align with the actual data structure being returned, leading to mismatches.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Structure: Ensure that the attributes being used in your model are simple types and do not contain nested objects or arrays. If you need to use complex types, consider flattening the structure or using a different approach to represent the data.
  
  
  Review OData Service: If you are using an OData service, check the service's metadata to ensure that the attributes are defined correctly. You may need to adjust the service to return simpler structures.
  
  
  Adjust UI5 Binding: If you are binding data to UI components, ensure that the binding paths are correct and that you are not trying to bind complex objects directly to properties that expect simple values.
  
  
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to inspect the data being passed to the UI components. This can help identify where the deep contents are coming from and how to adjust them.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for guidelines on data binding and model structures to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP UI5 Documentation: Review the official SAP UI5 documentation for information on data binding and model structures.
  OData Services: Familiarize yourself with OData service definitions and how to structure your data models appropriately.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights and solutions from other developers who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
