Conversion exit in ABAP RESTful Programming Model

Former Member — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 14:22:44 GMT

I would like to develop a Fiori app based on the ABAP RESTful Programming Model, but when activating the service it gives an error.

"You cannot use the FIPEX conversion exit here" or "You cannot use the FMCIL conversion exit here"

I use many fields with conversion exits.

Isn't it generally intended in ABAP RESTful Programming Model?

Thanks for help

Dear Tim

What was the conversion exit function you are using?

Venkat

Hi Tim,

I assume you are trying to use conversion exits in SAP Cloud Platform ABAP environment, right?

Unfortunately I have to tell you that only conversion exit ALPHA can be used in SAP Cloud Platform, ABAP environment (released with 1905). All other SAP delivered conversion exits are not released and cannot be used in customer-defined domains.

Customer-defined conversion exists are supported taking following rules into account:

Use "Y" or "Z" as the first letter of the conversion exit

Create a function group using an ABAP namespace /.../ or as a local object

Create respective function modules CONVERSION_EXIT_cnvex_INPUT/OUTPUT which are technically part of the SAP namespace

In on premise systems 1909 onwards you can use any conversion exit.

Best Regards,

Andre

Hey Andre,

thanks for your answer. I use on premise in version 1909. And FIPEX or FMCIL are standard SAP conversion exits.

Best regards

Tim

Hi Tim,

in an 1909 on premise system the conversion exits defined in the domains are automatically called by the SAP Gateway Framework.

How are you calling your conversion exits?

Andre

Hey Andre and Phani,

i have the same error. I get the error while activating the service Binding in Eclipse.

I think it calls by itself. I do nothing but use a CDS View. It is called automatically by a data element?

Hey Venkateswaran,

In my first attempt the errors came with the exits FIPEX and FMCIL.

Now the exit ABPSN...

In Tcode "/n/iwbep/errorlog " you should able find the Entity Property which has the Conversion exit mentioned in Error.

Not in the cloud. But there you have the Error Log view in ADT

https://blogs.sap.com/2020/07/22/how-to-use-the-sap-gateway-error-log-in-adt/

which you however have to activate.

But soon it will become automatically part of the standard view in ADT :-).

Hi andre.fischer

I am experiencing the same error when trying to publish a service. We too are on 1909. Is there perhaps a solution that you could share with us please?

Kind regards,

I am also getting this error in on-premise 1909, trying to publish a Service Binding containing a CDS view that uses a field with data element KOTABNR:
'Do not use conversion exit KOTAB here.

I am having a similar issue currently on a S/4 HANA (2020) system with the field TPLNR (Metadata not loaded - Do not use conversion exit TPLNR here...). Has anyone managed to find a solution for this?
