This error indicates that the system is unable to retrieve the metadata for the specified OData service, which is essential for executing tests against that service.
  Causes:

  Network Issues: There could be network-related issues preventing access to the OData service.
  Service Not Registered: The OData service might not be registered in the SAP Gateway, which would prevent metadata retrieval.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Activate the OData Service:
