• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_SBMC_MPC002 - Provide ABAP structure name or ABAP name for complex type '&1' ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_SBMC_MPC002 typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services when there is an issue with the definition of a complex type in your OData model. This error indicates that the system is unable to find the ABAP structure or name for the specified complex type.
  Cause:
  
  Missing ABAP Structure: The ABAP structure that corresponds to the complex type defined in the OData service is not available or not correctly defined in the system.
  Incorrect Mapping: There may be a mismatch between the OData model and the underlying ABAP structures, leading to the system being unable to resolve the complex type.
  Transport Issues: If the OData service was recently transported, the necessary ABAP structures may not have been included in the transport request.
  Model Definition Errors: Errors in the definition of the OData model or the service implementation can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check ABAP Structure: Verify that the ABAP structure corresponding to the complex type is defined in the system. You can do this by checking the Data Dictionary (SE11) for the structure name.
  Update OData Model: If the structure exists but is not correctly linked, you may need to update the OData model. This can be done in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction SEGW).
  Regenerate the Service: After making changes to the model or structures, regenerate the OData service. This can be done in the Service Builder by right-clicking on the service and selecting "Generate".
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all necessary objects (including the ABAP structures) were included in the transport request.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the OData service to trace where the error occurs. This can provide insights into what is missing or misconfigured.
