• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL345 - Navigation link to be deleted does not yet contain any target reference ?

  The SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL345 indicates that there is a navigation link in the Web Dynpro application that is set to be deleted, but it does not have a target reference defined. This typically occurs in the context of Web Dynpro development when you are trying to manage navigation links in your application.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by an attempt to delete a navigation link that is not properly configured. Specifically, the navigation link is expected to point to a target (another view or component) but currently does not have a valid target reference. This can happen if:
  
  The navigation link was created but the target was never defined.

  There is a misconfiguration in the navigation settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Navigation Links:
  
  Open the Web Dynpro component in the SAP Web Dynpro Workbench.
  Navigate to the "Navigation" section and review the navigation links defined in your application.
  
  
  
  Verify Target References:
  
  For each navigation link, ensure that a valid target reference is set. If a link is supposed to navigate to a specific view or component, make sure that the target exists and is correctly referenced.
  
  
  
  Delete Orphaned Links:
  
  If you find any navigation links that do not have a valid target reference, you can safely delete them. This will resolve the error message.
  
  
  
  Recreate Links if Necessary:
  
  If you need the navigation link, recreate it with the correct target reference.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no dependencies or other components that rely on the navigation link you are trying to delete.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that any changes you make are included in the appropriate transport requests for deployment to other systems.
