Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL705 - Inconsistency: &1 has ext. mapping to &2, however &2 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL705 indicates an inconsistency in the Web Dynpro application configuration. Specifically, it suggests that there is an external mapping defined for a component (or view) that points to another component (or view) that does not exist in the system. This can occur during the development or deployment of Web Dynpro applications.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Component/View: The component or view that is referenced in the external mapping does not exist in the system. This could be due to deletion, renaming, or failure to transport the component from one system to another.
  Transport Issues: If the application was transported from one system to another, the target system may not have all the necessary components or dependencies.
  Configuration Errors: There may be a misconfiguration in the Web Dynpro application settings or in the external mapping definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existence of the Component/View:
  
  Verify that the component or view referenced in the error message actually exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant development environment (e.g., SE80) and checking for the component/view.
  
  
  
  Correct External Mapping:
  
  If the referenced component/view does not exist, you will need to either create it or update the external mapping to point to a valid component/view.
  If the component/view was renamed or moved, update the mapping accordingly.
  
  
  
  Transport Consistency:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that they were successfully imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that all dependencies of the component/view are also present in the system. Sometimes, a component may rely on other components or libraries that also need to be transported.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Application:
  
  If you have made changes to the application, consider rebuilding it to ensure that all configurations are up to date.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to Web Dynpro and external mappings for any additional guidance or known issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to investigate the components and their mappings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Web Dynpro Documentation: Familiarize yourself with Web Dynpro development guidelines and best practices to avoid similar issues in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SWDP_WB_TOOL705 error and restore consistency in your Web Dynpro application.
