  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_MED018 indicates that a service has been changed successfully. This message is not an error in the traditional sense; rather, it is an informational message that confirms that a change to a service has been executed successfully in the SAP Gateway.
  Cause:
  
  The message is triggered when a service (such as an OData service) is modified, activated, or deactivated in the SAP Gateway. This could happen during the development or configuration of OData services in the SAP system.
  
  Solution:
  Since this message is informational and indicates a successful operation, there is no action required to resolve an error. However, if you are looking to ensure that the changes made to the service are functioning as expected, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Test the Service: After making changes, test the service to ensure that it behaves as expected. You can use tools like the SAP Gateway Client (transaction /IWFND/GW_CLIENT) or Postman to test the OData service.
  
  
  Check Service Registration: Ensure that the service is properly registered and activated in the SAP Gateway. You can do this using transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE.
  
  
  Review Logs: If you encounter issues after the change, review the application logs (transaction SLG1) or the Gateway error logs (transaction /IWFND/ERROR_LOG) for any related messages that might indicate problems.
