• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL472 - Outbound plug & of type "suspend" cannot be used in navigation ?

  The SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL472 indicates that there is an issue with the navigation configuration in your SAP Web Dynpro application. Specifically, the error states that an outbound plug of type "suspend" cannot be used in navigation. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to navigate using a plug that is not designed for that purpose.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Plug Type: The outbound plug you are trying to use is of type "suspend." In Web Dynpro, "suspend" plugs are meant to pause the current view and do not allow navigation to another view. They are typically used for scenarios where you want to temporarily halt the flow of the application.
  
  
  Navigation Configuration: The navigation configuration in your Web Dynpro application may be incorrectly set up, leading to an attempt to navigate using a suspend plug.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Plug Types: Review the outbound plugs defined in your Web Dynpro component. Ensure that you are using the correct type of plug for navigation. For navigation, you should use outbound plugs of type "default" or "navigation" instead of "suspend."
  
  
  Modify Navigation Logic: If you need to suspend the application flow, consider whether you can achieve your goal without using a suspend plug for navigation. If you need to navigate to another view, ensure that the outbound plug you are using is appropriate for that purpose.
  
  
  Update the Component Configuration: If you have made changes to the component configuration, ensure that all navigation paths are correctly defined and that the appropriate plugs are being used.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the application to ensure that the navigation works as expected without triggering the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Web Dynpro Navigation: Understanding the different types of plugs (inbound and outbound) and their purposes is crucial for effective navigation in Web Dynpro applications.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for Web Dynpro for detailed information on navigation, plugs, and best practices.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using debugging tools to trace the navigation flow and identify where the incorrect plug type is being invoked.
  
  By addressing the configuration of your outbound plugs and ensuring that you are using the correct types for navigation, you should be able to resolve the SWDP_WB_TOOL472 error.
