• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL703 - Inconsistency: &1 has ext. mapping to &2, but is not an interface node ?

  The SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL703 indicates an inconsistency in the Web Dynpro application development environment. Specifically, it suggests that there is an external mapping defined for a certain object (denoted as &1) to another object (denoted as &2), but the first object is not recognized as an interface node. This can occur in scenarios where the application structure is not correctly defined or where there are discrepancies in the configuration.
  Cause
  The error typically arises from one of the following issues:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The object that is supposed to be an interface node is not defined correctly in the Web Dynpro component.
  Mapping Issues: There may be a mapping defined in the configuration that does not correspond to the actual structure of the Web Dynpro application.
  Changes in the Model: If there have been recent changes to the data model or the structure of the Web Dynpro application, it may lead to inconsistencies.
  Missing Interface Node: The expected interface node may not exist or may have been deleted or renamed.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the SWDP_WB_TOOL703 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Object Definitions:

  Review Mappings:
  
  Go to the Web Dynpro component configuration and check the external mappings.
  Make sure that the mappings are correctly defined and that they correspond to the actual nodes in the component.

  Ensure that it has the correct properties and is properly linked to the data model.
  
  
  
  Check for Recent Changes:
  
  If there have been recent changes to the application, review those changes to see if they might have caused the inconsistency.
  If necessary, revert to a previous version of the component to see if the error persists.
