Fiori Elements and "Unsupported OData Version 4.01"

[Sschlegel]

If you work with RAP and Fiori Elements, you usually have a happy life - but it can happen that "for no reason" your app stops working and Fiori Elements gives you an error message with the content "Unsupported OData Version 4.01" with a picture like this:

What does it mean and where does it come from? Where can I switch from regular OData 4.0 to OData 4.01? Short answer: It cannot be controlled (directly) by the developer. This change can happen if you use functions or data elements that are not supported by OData 4.0, which triggers a version change by the system. On the other hand, OData 4.01 is not supported by Fiori Elements.

In this case, the error was caused by using a field of component Decfloat:

cast( '47.11' as abap.decfloat16 ) as value,

We simply changed to "old fashioned" data elements:

cast( '47.11' as abap.dec( 4, 2 ) ) as value,

And now everything works again fine 🙂

Enjoy!

Hi @Sschlegel ,

I am facing this very same problem after creating a simple test scenario on SAP BTP Trial, and using the "Generate ABAP Repository Objects" from ADT.

The test base table only uses a few standard SAP data elements. The generation wizard offers only the possibility of using OData V4.

Do you have any suggestions?

@DouglasCezar ,

can you Post the Base-Table? The problem is, that OData V4 is the only right and good approach, but the fallback to OData V4.01 starts automatically, if you use "wrong" data elements, that are not compatible with OData V4

Hello @Sschlegel 

This is useful information.
I am currently trying to use the "Generate ABAP Repository Objects" from ADT and getting the below error:
Log-dbg.js:499 2024-05-10 15:39:46.750600 [FUTURE FATAL] Failed to load component for container __container0 - Error: /sap/opu/odata4/sap/zXXXXXX_ui_flight_o4/srvd/sap/zXXXXXX_flight/0001/$metadata: Unsupported OData version 4.01

What would be the correction measure for this ? Any tips as to how do I identify this and how do I correct the same ? 
Below is my base table:

@EndUserText.label : 'Flight_Modes'

@AbapCatalog.enhancement.category : #NOT_EXTENSIBLE

@AbapCatalog.tableCategory : #TRANSPARENT

@AbapCatalog.deliveryClass : #A

@AbapCatalog.dataMaintenance : #RESTRICTED

define table zXXXXXXaflgt {

local_last_changed_by : abp_locinst_lastchange_user;

local_last_changed_at : abp_locinst_lastchange_tstmpl;

last_changed_at : abp_lastchange_tstmpl;

}

Any help on this will be appreciated.
