• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL137 - View & is embedded multiple times - F4 help can be used for selection ?

  The SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL137 indicates that a view is embedded multiple times in a Web Dynpro application. This typically occurs when a view is included in a component multiple times, which can lead to conflicts or unexpected behavior in the application.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Embedding: The view is being referenced more than once in the same component or in different components, which is not allowed in Web Dynpro.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the Web Dynpro component may have been set up incorrectly, leading to the same view being added multiple times.
  Development Errors: During the development process, a developer may have inadvertently added the same view multiple times.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check View Embedding: Review the component configuration in the Web Dynpro application. Ensure that the view is only embedded once. You can do this by:
  
  Opening the Web Dynpro component in the Web Dynpro Workbench.
  Navigating to the "Views" section and checking the list of embedded views.
  Removing any duplicate entries.
  
  
  
  Use F4 Help: The error message suggests using F4 help for selection. This means you can use the F4 key to open a selection dialog that will help you choose the correct view without duplicates.
  
  
  Rebuild the Component: If you have made changes to the view embedding, it may be necessary to rebuild the component to ensure that all changes are applied correctly.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: If the view is being used in multiple components, consider whether it can be refactored or if a different design pattern can be used to avoid duplication.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or guidelines on Web Dynpro component design to ensure best practices are being followed.
