• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD100 - Wizard terminated due to internal error ?

  The SAP error message WD100: Wizard terminated due to internal error typically occurs in the context of Web Dynpro development or runtime. This error indicates that a Web Dynpro wizard process has unexpectedly stopped because of an internal problem within the SAP system or the Web Dynpro framework.
  
  Cause
  The WD100 error is a generic internal error message that can be caused by various issues, including but not limited to:
  
  Corrupted or inconsistent Web Dynpro components: The wizard might be trying to process a component or configuration that is incomplete or corrupted.
  Missing or incorrect metadata: The wizard relies on metadata and configuration data; if these are missing or inconsistent, it can cause the wizard to fail.
  Authorization issues: The user running the wizard might lack necessary authorizations.
  System or kernel inconsistencies: Sometimes, the underlying SAP kernel or system components might have issues.
  Transport or version conflicts: If components were transported incorrectly or there are version mismatches, the wizard might fail.
  Bug in the Web Dynpro framework or SAP kernel: Occasionally, this error can be caused by a known bug in the SAP system.
