• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD470 - Number of parallel branches less than number of required branches ?

  The SAP error message WD470: Number of parallel branches less than number of required branches typically occurs in the context of SAP Web Dynpro applications, specifically when dealing with parallel processing in the component controller or component usage.
  
  Cause
  This error arises when the number of parallel branches defined in a Web Dynpro component or component usage is less than the number of branches required by the application logic or configuration.
  
  In Web Dynpro, you can define parallel branches to allow multiple instances of a component or view to run in parallel.
  The application or configuration expects a certain number of parallel branches (instances) to be available.
  If the actual number of parallel branches configured is less than the required number, the runtime throws the WD470 error.
  
  This often happens when:
  
  The maximum number of parallel branches is set too low in the component usage properties.
  The application logic tries to create or access more parallel branches than
