• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI5/MP_CP_OVP001 - 1 dataSource type "OData" mandatory, 1 type "ODataAnnotation" optional ?

  The SAP error message /UI5/MP_CP_OVP001 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the data source types in your SAPUI5 application, specifically when using the OVP (Overview Page) floorplan. The error message states that a data source of type "OData" is mandatory, while a data source of type "ODataAnnotation" is optional.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing OData Data Source: The primary cause of this error is that the application is missing a mandatory OData data source configuration. The OVP requires at least one OData service to be defined for it to function correctly.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with how the data sources are defined in the manifest file (manifest.json). If the OData data source is not properly configured or is missing, this error will occur.
  
  
  Annotations Not Configured: While the ODataAnnotation data source is optional, if it is referenced in the application but not configured, it may lead to confusion or additional errors.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Manifest File: Open your manifest.json file and ensure that you have defined at least one OData data source under the sap.app section. It should look something like this:
  "dataSources": {
      "myODataService": {
          "uri": "/path/to/your/odata/service",
          "type": "OData",
          "settings": {
              "odataVersion": "2.0"
          }
      },
      "myAnnotations": {
          "uri": "/path/to/your/annotations",
          "type": "ODataAnnotation"
      }
  }
  
  
  Define the OData Data Source: If you do not have an OData data source defined, you need to add one. Make sure to provide the correct URI and settings.
  
  
  Validate Annotations: If you are using OData annotations, ensure that the annotations data source is correctly defined and that the URI points to a valid annotations file.
  
  
  Check for Typos: Ensure there are no typos in the data source names or URIs in your manifest file.
  
  
  Restart the Application: After making changes to the manifest.json, restart your application to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAPUI5 Documentation: Refer to the official SAPUI5 documentation for more details on configuring data sources in the manifest.json file.
  OVP Floorplan: Familiarize yourself with the Overview Page floorplan and its requirements for data sources.
  Debugging Tools: Use browser developer tools to check for any additional errors in the console that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  By ensuring that your OData data source is correctly defined and configured, you should be able to resolve the error message /UI5/MP_CP_OVP001.
