  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_MGW_EDP102 Execution mode &1 is invalid for Entity GetStream operation typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services when there is an issue with the execution mode specified for an operation that retrieves a stream (binary data) from an entity.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Execution Mode: The error indicates that the execution mode specified for the GetStream operation is not valid. This could happen if the operation is being called with an incorrect or unsupported mode.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the OData service or the underlying data model that prevent the correct execution mode from being recognized.
  Service Implementation: The implementation of the OData service might not properly handle the GetStream operation, leading to the error when trying to access binary data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Execution Mode: Ensure that the execution mode being used in the request is valid for the GetStream operation. The valid modes typically include GET, POST, etc. Make sure that the request is correctly formed.
  Review OData Service Implementation: Check the implementation of the OData service in the backend. Ensure that the GetStream method is correctly implemented and that it supports the required execution modes.
  Service Metadata: Review the service metadata (usually accessible via the $metadata endpoint) to confirm that the GetStream operation is defined correctly and that the execution modes are specified as expected.
  Debugging: If you have access to the backend system, consider debugging the OData service to trace where the error occurs. This can provide insights into why the execution mode is being deemed invalid.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as there may be bug fixes related to OData services in newer versions.
