  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD280 - Object type '&1' not valid ?
    SAP Error Message:
    WD280 Object type '&1' not valid
    
    
    Cause: This error occurs in the Web Dynpro ABAP environment when an invalid or unexpected object type is referenced or used. The placeholder &1 in the message is replaced by the actual object type name at runtime. Common scenarios include: Trying to use an object type that is not supported or recognized in the current context. Passing an incorrect object type to a Web Dynpro API or method. A mismatch between expected and actual object types in component usage or interface implementation. Corrupted or inconsistent Web Dynpro component metadata. Explanation: In Web Dynpro ABAP, object types refer to various entities like components, controllers, views, UI elements, or context nodes. The framework expects certain object types in specific places. If an object type is invalid or not allowed, the system raises this error to prevent runtime inconsistencies.
    Solution: Check the Object Type: Identify the actual object type passed in place of &1 in the error
