This error is related to the analytics capabilities of the OData service, where specific fields need to be selected for the response.

  Incorrect URL: The URL used to call the OData service might be incorrect or missing required query options.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Add 'Select' Parameter: Modify the OData request to include the 'Select' parameter. For example, if you want to select specific fields, your request URL should look something like this:
  /your_service_endpoint?$select=Field1,Field2
  Replace Field1 and Field2 with the actual field names you want to retrieve.
  
  
  Check Service Documentation: Review the documentation for the OData service to understand which parameters are required and how to format your request correctly.
  
  
  Test with OData Client: Use an OData client tool (like Postman or SAP Gateway Client) to test your requests. This can help you debug and ensure that the parameters are being sent correctly.
  
  
  Review Service Implementation: If you have access to the backend, check the implementation of the OData service to ensure that it is set up to handle requests correctly and that the 'Select' parameter is being processed as expected.
