  The SAP error message /UI2/PAGEBUILDER025 Catalog &1 is read-only and cannot be changed typically occurs when you are trying to modify a catalog in the SAP Fiori Launchpad that is set to read-only. This can happen for several reasons, including system settings, user permissions, or the nature of the catalog itself.
  Cause:
  
  Read-Only Catalog: The catalog you are trying to modify is defined as read-only in the system. This can be due to system settings or the way the catalog was created.
  User Permissions: The user does not have the necessary permissions to modify the catalog. This can be due to role assignments or restrictions in the authorization profiles.
  Transport Layer: If the catalog is part of a transport request that has been released, it may be locked for changes until the transport is completed.
  System Configuration: Certain catalogs may be configured to be read-only as part of the system's design, especially if they are standard catalogs provided by SAP.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Catalog Settings: Verify if the catalog is indeed set to read-only. You can do this by checking the catalog properties in the Fiori Launchpad Designer.
  User Authorization: Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles and authorizations to modify the catalog. You may need to assign additional roles or adjust existing ones.
  Edit in the Right Environment: If the catalog is part of a transport request, ensure you are in the correct environment (development vs. production) to make changes.
  Create a Copy: If the catalog is read-only and you cannot change it, consider creating a copy of the catalog. You can then modify the copy as needed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes for specific guidance on the catalog you are working with, as there may be known issues or additional steps required.
