• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_FILTER004 - Application of implicit filter &2 on filter object &1 terminated ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WES_FILTER004: Application of implicit filter &2 on filter object &1 terminated
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This message occurs in the context of SAP Web Application Server (SAP NetWeaver) when dealing with implicit filters in Web Dynpro or BSP applications, or more generally in filter processing within SAP Web Services or Web UI frameworks.
  
  Implicit filters are filters automatically applied by the system based on context or metadata, rather than explicitly set by the user.
  The message indicates that the system tried to apply an implicit filter (identified by &2) on a filter object (identified by &1), but the application of this filter was terminated or aborted.
  This usually happens because the filter object does not support the implicit filter, or the filter criteria are incompatible or invalid.
  It can also occur if the filter object is not properly initialized or if the filter logic encounters an error during processing.
  
  
  Common Causes:
  
  
  Mismatch between filter object and filter criteria:
  
  The filter object (&1) does not support the implicit filter (&2) being applied.
  
  
  Incorrect or missing filter metadata:
  
  The system expects certain metadata or configuration for the filter object that is missing or incorrect.
  
  
  Programming or configuration error:
  
  The developer or configurator has not properly set up the filter object or the implicit filter.
  
  
  Runtime issues:
  
  The filter object is not initialized or is in an invalid state when the implicit filter is applied.
  
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check the filter object and filter criteria:  
  
  Verify that the filter object (&1) supports the implicit filter (&2).  
  Review the filter definitions in the application or configuration.
  
  
  
  Review the application code or configuration:  
  
  If you are a developer, check the code where filters are applied.  
  Ensure that implicit filters are only applied to compatible filter objects.
  
  
  
  Check metadata and filter setup:  
  
  In Web Dynpro or BSP, verify the filter metadata and context binding.  
  Make sure the filter object is properly initialized before applying filters.
  
  
  
  Debug the filter application:  
  
  Use debugging tools to trace where the filter application is terminated.  
  Look for exceptions or errors in the filter processing logic.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes and Documentation:  
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to WES_FILTER004 for any known issues or patches.  
  Check SAP Help Portal for documentation on filters in the relevant SAP component.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is informational and indicates that the system stopped applying an implicit filter to avoid errors or inconsistent data processing.
  It is often seen in SAP Web Dynpro ABAP applications, BSP applications, or SAP Gateway services where filters are dynamically applied.
  Understanding the filter object and implicit filter relationship is key to resolving this message.
  If the message appears frequently or causes functional issues, it may indicate a deeper problem in the application logic or configuration.
