• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT_ODATA_TST049 - HTTP method &1 is not supported. ?

  The SAP error message ECATT_ODATA_TST049 HTTP method &1 is not supported typically occurs when you are trying to execute an eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) test script that involves OData services, and the HTTP method specified in the test script is not supported by the OData service you are trying to access.
  Cause:
  
  Unsupported HTTP Method: The OData service you are trying to call does not support the HTTP method you are using (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). For example, if you are trying to use a POST method on an endpoint that only supports GET, you will encounter this error.
  Incorrect Configuration: The OData service might not be correctly configured to handle the requested HTTP method.
  Service Limitations: Some OData services are designed to only support certain operations, and attempting to use an unsupported method will lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Supported Methods: Review the OData service documentation to determine which HTTP methods are supported for the specific endpoint you are trying to access. Ensure that you are using one of the supported methods.
  Modify the Test Script: If you find that the method you are using is not supported, modify your eCATT test script to use a supported HTTP method.
  Service Configuration: If you have access to the backend system, check the configuration of the OData service to ensure that it is set up correctly to handle the desired HTTP methods.
  Testing with Tools: Use tools like Postman or SAP Gateway Client to test the OData service independently of eCATT. This can help you confirm which methods are supported and troubleshoot further.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that might address known issues with the specific OData service you are using.
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Gateway: If you are working with SAP Gateway services, ensure that the service is activated and properly configured in the SAP system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ECATT_ODATA_TST049 error and successfully execute your eCATT test script.
