How To Fix XS137 - MIME version does not exist

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: XS - SAPconnect: All messages

• Message number: 137

• Message text: MIME version does not exist

What causes this issue?

The function you have selected cannot be executed, as there is no MIME
version of the current document.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

To save space, the MIME versions of incoming and outgoing messages are
normally not stored on the database.
If you want to view the MIME version for analysis purposes, make sure
that it is stored persistently when sending or receiving. You can do
this by choosing Utilities -> MIME Settings or by running Report RSCONN
06. The function can only be used for documents that it was activated
for at the time of sending or receipt.
For outgoing messages, the MIME version is not created until during the
send process. There is generally no MIME version for pending messages.
This does not apply for outgoing DSN.
If this message appears when you are trying to display the MIME version
of status notifications for incoming messages, this might indicate that
the send status in question could not be created due to this not being
requested. In this case, there is no MIME version either.

Procedure for System Administrators

All stored MIME versions are deleted during reorganization of the send
requests.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XS137 - MIME version does not exist ?

  The SAP error message XS137, which states "MIME version does not exist," typically occurs in the context of SAP HANA XS (Extended Services) applications. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a valid MIME type for a resource that is being requested. MIME types are used to specify the nature and format of a file, and they are essential for the correct handling of resources in web applications.
  Causes:
  
  Missing MIME Type Configuration: The MIME type for the requested resource is not defined in the SAP HANA XS application configuration.
  Incorrect File Extension: The file being requested may have an unsupported or incorrect file extension that does not match any defined MIME type.
  Deployment Issues: The application may not have been deployed correctly, leading to missing resources or configurations.
  File Not Found: The requested file may not exist in the specified location, leading to the system being unable to determine its MIME type.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Define MIME Types:
  
  Ensure that the required MIME types are defined in the xs-app.json or xs-security.json configuration files of your XS application. You can add entries for the MIME types that your application needs.
  Example configuration:
  {
    "mimeTypes": {
      "html": "text/html",
      "css": "text/css",
      "js": "application/javascript",
      "png": "image/png",
      "jpg": "image/jpeg"
    }
  }
  
  
  
  
  Check File Extensions:
  
  Verify that the file extensions of the resources being requested match the MIME types defined in your configuration. If a file has an unsupported extension, consider renaming it or updating the configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Deployment:
  
  Ensure that the application has been deployed correctly. Check for any errors during deployment that may have led to missing files or configurations.
  
  
  
  File Existence:
  
  Confirm that the requested file actually exists in the expected directory. If the file is missing, you may need to upload it again or correct the path in your application.
  
  
  
  Restart the Application:
  
  Sometimes, changes to configuration files may not take effect until the application is restarted. Restart the XS application to ensure that all configurations are loaded properly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP HANA XS Documentation: Refer to the official SAP HANA XS documentation for detailed information on configuring MIME types and handling resources.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to find discussions related to similar issues and solutions provided by other users.
  Logs and Traces: Check the application logs and traces for more detailed error messages that can provide additional context for troubleshooting.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the XS137 error and ensure that your SAP HANA XS application can correctly handle the requested resources.
