This error indicates that there is an issue with the mapping of an attribute in your Web Dynpro component.
Cause:
- Attribute Not Defined: The attribute specified by
&1
may not be defined in the context node or the data model.- Incorrect Mapping: There may be an attempt to map an attribute that does not exist or is not compatible with the target context.
- Data Type Mismatch: The data types of the source and target attributes may not match, leading to mapping issues.
- Context Node Issues: The context node from which you are trying to map the attribute may not be properly configured or may not be active.
- Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model or context nodes, the mappings may need to be updated accordingly.
Solution:
- Check Attribute Definition: Verify that the attribute
&1
is correctly defined in the context node. Ensure that it exists and is spelled correctly.- Review Mappings: Go to the mapping configuration in the Web Dynpro component and check the mappings for the attribute. Ensure that the source and target attributes are correctly specified.
- Data Type Compatibility: Ensure that the data types of the source and target attributes are compatible. If they are not, you may need to convert the data type or adjust the mapping.
- Context Node Configuration: Check the configuration of the context node to ensure it is properly set up and active. If necessary, refresh or regenerate the context.
- Rebuild the Component: Sometimes, rebuilding the Web Dynpro component can resolve issues related to mappings. You can do this by activating the component again.
- Check for Recent Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model or context nodes, review those changes to ensure they are correctly reflected in the mappings.
