  The SAP error message /CFG/FTI_TECH_ERROR070 indicates that the value help feature is not available because the metamodel was not provided. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori applications or when working with SAP's configuration tools, particularly in scenarios involving the configuration of Fiori elements or OData services.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Metamodel: The error suggests that the application or service is trying to access value help (a dropdown or selection list) but cannot do so because the necessary metamodel information is not available. The metamodel provides the structure and metadata for the data being used.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the OData service or the Fiori application that prevent the metamodel from being correctly defined or accessed.
  Service Activation: The OData service that provides the necessary metadata might not be activated or properly configured in the SAP Gateway.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the metamodel or the underlying data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check OData Service: Ensure that the OData service is correctly defined and activated in the SAP Gateway. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW).
  Checking if the service is active in the Service Maintenance (transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE).
  
  
  
  Review Metadata: Verify that the metadata for the OData service is correctly defined. You can check the metadata by accessing the service URL in a browser (e.g., http://<host>:<port>/sap/opu/odata/sap/<service_name>/$metadata).
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the Fiori application or the relevant SAP configuration settings to ensure that the metamodel is being provided correctly.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the OData service and the associated metadata.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the application or service to identify where the metamodel is expected but not being provided.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that might address this specific error. Sometimes, there are known issues that have been documented by SAP.
  
  
  Related Information:
