• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_MGW_RT136 - Input node entity type '&1' for function import '&2' is disabled ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_MGW_RT136 indicates that an input node entity type for a function import is disabled. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services when trying to execute a function import that expects input parameters, but the specified entity type is not enabled for that operation.
  Cause:
  
  Entity Type Disabled: The entity type specified in the error message is not enabled for the function import. This can happen if the entity type is not configured correctly in the OData service.
  Service Configuration: The OData service might not be properly configured to allow the input node for the specified function import.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing the function import from being executed with the specified entity type.
  Model Issues: The data model might not be correctly defined, leading to the entity type being considered disabled.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Service Implementation:
  
  Go to the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW).
  Open the relevant service and check the function import definition.
  Ensure that the input parameters are correctly defined and that the entity type is enabled for the function import.
  
  
  
  Enable Entity Type:
  
  If the entity type is not enabled, you may need to enable it in the service definition.
  Right-click on the function import and check the properties to ensure that the input entity type is set correctly.
  
  
  
  Regenerate the Service:
  
  After making changes, regenerate the service and activate it.
  Use transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE to maintain and activate the service.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the function import has the necessary authorizations to access the entity type and execute the function import.
  
  
  
  Test the Service:
  
  Use the SAP Gateway Client (transaction code /IWFND/GW_CLIENT) to test the function import and verify that it works as expected.
  
  
  
  Review Logs:
  
  Check the application logs (transaction code SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
