• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/CDMFCC171 - Descr.change: sap.app 'description' differs from '&3' of LRep &1 '&2'. ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/CDMFCC171 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the description of an SAP Fiori app (or UI5 application) and the description stored in the SAP repository (LRep). This typically occurs during the activation or transport of Fiori applications when the descriptions do not match.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Descriptions: The description of the app in the transport request or local development environment does not match the description in the SAP repository.
  Versioning Issues: There may be different versions of the app in different systems (e.g., development, quality assurance, production) leading to inconsistencies.
  Manual Changes: If the app description was manually changed in one environment but not in others, this can lead to discrepancies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Descriptions: Verify the description of the app in both the local environment and the SAP repository. You can do this by checking the app's metadata or configuration in the SAP Fiori launchpad or using transaction codes like /UI2/FLP or /UI2/FLP_ADMIN.
  
  
  Update Descriptions: If you find that the descriptions do not match, update the description in the local environment to match the one in the SAP repository or vice versa, depending on which one is correct.
  
  
  Transport Request: If you are working with transport requests, ensure that the correct version of the app is being transported and that all related objects are included in the transport.
  
  
  Re-activate the App: After making the necessary changes, try to re-activate the app. You can do this through the SAP Fiori launchpad or using the relevant transaction codes.
  
  
  Clear Cache: Sometimes, clearing the cache can help resolve discrepancies. You can clear the cache for the Fiori launchpad or the browser cache.
