• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/FDM109 - Catalog &1: Mapping alias is not defined (Replication alias &2) ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/FDM109 Catalog &1: Mapping alias is not defined (Replication alias &2) typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori and the SAP Gateway when there is an issue with the mapping of catalog items or when the system cannot find the specified mapping alias for a particular replication alias.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Mapping Alias: The error indicates that the mapping alias defined in the system does not exist or is not properly configured.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the Fiori Launchpad or the OData service that is supposed to provide the mapping.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the mapping alias may not have been included in the transport.
  System Updates: Changes in the system or updates may have led to the removal or alteration of the mapping alias.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Mapping Configuration:
  
  Go to the Fiori Launchpad Designer and check the configuration of the catalog and the associated mapping aliases.
  Ensure that the mapping alias for the replication alias is defined correctly.
  
  
  
  Define Missing Mapping Alias:
  
  If the mapping alias is indeed missing, you can create it in the relevant configuration settings. This usually involves defining the mapping in the backend system (e.g., using transaction codes like /UI2/FLP or /UI2/FLP_CATALOG).
  
  
  
  Transport Configuration:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all necessary objects related to the mapping alias were included in the transport request.
  You may need to re-transport the missing configuration.
  
  
  
  Check OData Services:
  
  Ensure that the OData services are properly activated and that the necessary authorizations are in place.
  Use transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE to check the status of the OData services.
  
  
  
  System Logs:
  
  Check the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
