• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD293 - No exception 'Processing obsolete' was modeled for step '&' ?

  The SAP Web Dynpro error message:
  WD293 No exception 'Processing obsolete' was modeled for step '&'
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during the execution of a Web Dynpro application when the framework encounters a processing step that has become obsolete or invalid, but the application has not defined an exception handler for this specific situation.
  In Web Dynpro, processing steps (like actions, methods, or phases) can throw exceptions. The framework expects that for certain exceptions, the developer has modeled exception handling logic (e.g., in the component controller or the window). If the exception "Processing obsolete" is raised but no exception handler is defined for it in the current step, the framework throws this error.
  The placeholder & in the message is replaced by the name of the step where the exception occurred.
  Typical scenarios causing this:
  
  The user navigated away or the UI element was refreshed, making the current processing step invalid.
  The application logic or UI state changed
