• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/FDM_PARSER005 - Parse error ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/FDM_PARSER005 Parse error typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori applications, particularly when there is an issue with the parsing of the metadata or the OData service response. This error can arise due to various reasons, including issues with the service definition, incorrect data formats, or problems in the underlying data model.
  Causes:
  
  Malformed OData Service Response: The OData service might be returning a response that is not well-formed or does not conform to the expected structure.
  Incorrect Metadata: The metadata document might have errors or inconsistencies that prevent it from being parsed correctly.
  Data Type Mismatches: There could be discrepancies between the expected data types in the service and the actual data being returned.
  Service Configuration Issues: The OData service might not be properly configured in the SAP Gateway or there could be issues with the service registration.
  Network Issues: Temporary network issues could lead to incomplete or corrupted data being received.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check OData Service: Use the SAP Gateway Client (transaction /IWFND/GW_CLIENT) to test the OData service directly. Look for any errors in the response or metadata.
  Review Metadata: Ensure that the metadata document is correctly defined and does not contain any errors. You can access the metadata by appending $metadata to the service URL.
  Debugging: If you have access to the backend, you can debug the OData service implementation to identify where the parsing is failing.
  Check Data Types: Verify that the data types in the OData service match the expected types in the Fiori application.
  Service Activation: Ensure that the OData service is activated in the SAP Gateway (transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE).
  Clear Cache: Sometimes, clearing the cache of the browser or the SAP Gateway can resolve issues related to stale data.
  Check Logs: Review the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages that might provide more context about the issue.
