• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/CDM3_EXPO_ENT004 - Invalid skiptoken ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/CDM3_EXPO_ENT004 Invalid skiptoken typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori applications or OData services when there is an issue with pagination or the handling of skip tokens in the data retrieval process. The skip token is used to manage the retrieval of large datasets in a paginated manner, allowing clients to request data in chunks rather than all at once.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Skip Token: The skip token being used in the request may be malformed or not recognized by the server. This can happen if the token has expired, has been altered, or is not valid for the current dataset.
  Data Changes: If the underlying data has changed (e.g., records have been added or deleted) since the skip token was generated, the token may no longer be valid.
  Session Issues: If the session has expired or if there are issues with the user session, it may lead to invalid tokens being used.
  Incorrect Implementation: There may be issues in the implementation of the OData service or the Fiori application that lead to incorrect handling of skip tokens.
  
  Solution:
  
  Regenerate the Skip Token: If you are manually constructing requests, ensure that you are using a valid skip token. You may need to re-fetch the data to get a new token.
  Check for Data Changes: If the data has changed, try to refresh the data or re-query the service to obtain a new skip token.
  Session Management: Ensure that the user session is active and valid. If the session has expired, re-authenticate the user.
  Debugging: If you have access to the backend, check the logs for any additional error messages or stack traces that could provide more context on why the skip token is invalid.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for the specific OData service or Fiori application you are using to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for pagination and skip token usage.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is a production issue.
