• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/FDM108 - Catalog &1: Replication alias &2 differs from system mapping alias &3 ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/FDM108 Catalog &1: Replication alias &2 differs from system mapping alias &3 typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori and the OData service configuration. This error indicates a mismatch between the replication alias and the system mapping alias for a specific catalog in the Fiori Launchpad.
  Cause:
  
  
  Mismatch in Aliases: The error arises when the replication alias (the alias used in the Fiori Launchpad) does not match the system mapping alias (the alias defined in the backend system). This can happen due to:
  
  Changes in the configuration of the OData services.
  Incorrect or inconsistent entries in the Fiori Launchpad configuration.
  Manual changes made to the catalog or group settings.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there might be discrepancies in the aliases.
  
  
  System Configuration: The system might not be properly configured to recognize the aliases due to missing or incorrect settings.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the Fiori Launchpad Designer and check the catalog configuration.
  Verify that the replication alias matches the system mapping alias defined in the backend system.
  
  
  
  Update Aliases:
  
  If there is a mismatch, update the replication alias in the Fiori Launchpad to match the system mapping alias or vice versa, depending on which one is correct.
  
  
  
  Transport Consistency:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all relevant objects (including catalogs, groups, and OData services) were transported correctly and consistently.
  
  
  
  Clear Cache:
  
  Clear the cache of the Fiori Launchpad and the browser to ensure that any old configurations are not causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Check System Mapping:
  
  Use transaction code /UI2/FLP to check the system mapping and ensure that it is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to Fiori Launchpad and OData services for any specific guidance on resolving alias issues.
