• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFE_REQUEST_CRM213 - ID &1 is not unique for this Web request data structure ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WFE_REQUEST_CRM213 ID &1 is not unique for this Web request data structure
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the Web Flow Engine (WFE) in SAP CRM detects that an ID (usually a UI element or data structure ID) is not unique within the context of a Web Request data structure. In SAP CRM Web UI or Web Client UI, each element or data structure must have a unique identifier to ensure proper processing and data handling.
  Specifically, the error means that the system found duplicate IDs in the Web Request data structure, which violates the uniqueness constraint. This can happen due to:
  
  Customizations or enhancements that incorrectly reuse IDs.
  Incorrect or duplicate assignment of IDs in Web UI components or views.
  Issues in the configuration of Web UI components or views.
  Problems in the underlying BSP application or Web Dynpro components where IDs are generated or assigned.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all IDs within the Web Request data structure are unique. Steps to fix:
  
  
  Identify the Duplicate ID:
  
  The error message will show the duplicate ID (&1 is replaced by the actual ID).
  Check the Web UI component or view where this ID is used.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code and Enhancements:
  
  Review any custom enhancements, modifications, or extensions that might be assigning IDs.
  Ensure that IDs are generated dynamically or uniquely assigned.
  
  
  
  Review Web UI Component Configuration:
  
  Use transaction BSP_WD_CMPWB (Web Dynpro Component Workbench) or CRM_UI_COMPONENT to check the component/view.
  Look for duplicate IDs in the UI elements or context nodes.
  
  
  
  Check Web Request Data Structure:
  
  Debug the Web Request processing to see where the duplicate ID is introduced.
  Use transaction CRM_UI or Web UI debugging tools.
  
  
  
  Correct the ID Assignment:
  
  Modify the code or configuration to assign unique IDs.
  If IDs are hardcoded, change them to unique values.
  If IDs are generated dynamically, ensure the logic prevents duplicates.
  
  
  
  Clear Cache and Test:
  
  After corrections, clear the relevant caches (e.g., /IWFND/CACHE_CLEAN for OData services if involved).
  Test the Web UI scenario again.
