This error is often related to issues in the data retrieval process, such as missing data, incorrect configurations, or problems with the service implementation.
  Cause:
  
  Data Provider Issues: The data provider might not be returning the expected data or might be encountering an exception.
  Service Configuration: The OData service might not be properly configured or activated in the SAP Gateway.
  Authorization Issues: The user might not have the necessary authorizations to access the data.
  Model Issues: There could be issues with the data model or the way the entity sets are defined.
