  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL704 - Inconsistency: &1 has ext. mapping to &2, but is not an input element ?

    The SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL704 indicates an inconsistency in the Web Dynpro application where there is an external mapping defined for a certain element, but that element is not recognized as an input element. This can occur during the development of Web Dynpro applications when the configuration of the data model does not align with the expected input/output mappings.

    Cause:

    1. External Mapping Issue: The error typically arises when there is an external mapping defined for a component or context node that is not set up correctly. This could be due to:

      • The element being incorrectly defined in the context.
      • The element not being marked as an input element in the Web Dynpro component.
      • Changes made to the context or data model that were not properly reflected in the external mapping.
    2. Model Changes: If the underlying data model has been modified (e.g., adding or removing attributes) without updating the external mapping, this inconsistency can occur.

    3. Configuration Errors: Errors in the configuration of the Web Dynpro component or the associated data binding can also lead to this issue.

    Solution:

    To resolve the SWDP_WB_TOOL704 error, you can follow these steps:

    1. Check External Mapping:

      • Go to the Web Dynpro component where the error is occurring.
      • Review the external mapping settings to ensure that they are correctly defined for the context node and element in question.
    2. Verify Input Element Configuration:

      • Ensure that the element that is being referenced in the external mapping is indeed defined as an input element in the context.
      • If it is not marked as an input element, you may need to adjust the context node properties.
    3. Update Data Model:

      • If there have been recent changes to the data model, ensure that all mappings and bindings are updated accordingly.
      • Check for any inconsistencies in the data model and correct them.
    4. Rebuild the Component:

      • Sometimes, simply rebuilding the Web Dynpro component can resolve inconsistencies. Try to activate and regenerate the component.
    5. Check for Dependencies:

      • Ensure that there are no dependencies or references to other components that might be causing the inconsistency.
    6. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or notes related to Web Dynpro development for any specific guidelines or known issues related to external mappings.

    Related Information:

    • Web Dynpro Development: Familiarize yourself with the Web Dynpro framework and its concepts, especially regarding context nodes, attributes, and external mappings.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches that might address known issues related to this error.
    • Debugging Tools: Utilize debugging tools within the SAP environment to trace the execution and identify where the inconsistency arises.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the inconsistency causing the SWDP_WB_TOOL704 error in your SAP Web Dynpro application.
