  Check OData Version: Ensure that you are using OData V4 for your service. If you are using OData V2, consider upgrading your service to V4 if delta functionality is required.
  Service Configuration: Review the configuration of your OData service in the SAP Gateway. Ensure that it is set up to support delta queries and that it is a remote service.
