• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL750 - View "&1" contains superfluous OTR uses ?

  The SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL750 indicates that there are superfluous OTR (On-the-fly Translation) uses in a specific view. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Web Dynpro applications, where the system detects that there are unnecessary or redundant OTR uses in the specified view.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by having multiple OTR uses for the same text element in a view. This can happen if:
  
  The same text is being referenced multiple times unnecessarily.
  There are leftover or outdated OTR references that are no longer needed.
  The view has been modified, and some OTR references were not cleaned up properly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the View: Check the view name provided in the error message (indicated by "&1") to locate the specific view that is causing the issue.
  
  
  Open the View in the Web Dynpro Component: Use the SAP Web Dynpro component workbench to open the view.
  
  
  Review OTR Uses: Look for the OTR uses in the view. You can do this by checking the properties of the UI elements that are using OTR texts.
  
  
  Remove Redundant OTR References: 
  
  If you find multiple references to the same OTR text, remove the redundant ones.
  Ensure that each text element is only referenced once unless there is a specific need for multiple references.
  
  
  
  Check for Outdated References: If there are any OTR references that are no longer needed (for example, if the text has been changed or removed), delete those references.
  
  
  Re-activate the View: After making the necessary changes, re-activate the view to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Test the Application: Finally, test the application to ensure that it functions correctly without the error.
