Hi Abraham,
thank you for sharing. I run into the same error message in S/4HANA for a call using the path /sap/bc/lrep/content/sap/apf/dt/14653773310831896583463924413146/metadata.apfapplication. I had to set the Profile /UI5/UI5_INFRA_APP/REP_DT_PUT in VSCAN_PROFILE_VC to default to make the error disappear.
Best regards
Gregor
