• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_MED069 - No EDM type setting on property '&1' of structured type '&2' ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_MED069 indicates that there is a missing EDM (Entity Data Model) type setting for a property in a structured type within an OData service. This typically occurs when the OData service is trying to expose a property that does not have a defined EDM type, which is necessary for the OData service to understand how to handle that property.
  Cause:
  
  Missing EDM Type Definition: The property in question does not have an associated EDM type defined in the metadata of the OData service.
  Incorrect Data Model: The data model may not be correctly defined, leading to properties that are not recognized by the OData framework.
  Inconsistent Annotations: There may be inconsistencies in the annotations or definitions of the properties in the data model.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Data Model: Review the data model for the OData service to ensure that all properties of structured types have a defined EDM type. This can be done in the ABAP Dictionary or the relevant data model definition.
  
  
  Define EDM Types: If a property is missing an EDM type, you need to define it. This can involve:
  
  Going to the relevant structure or table in the ABAP Dictionary.
  Ensuring that each property has a corresponding data type that is compatible with the OData service.
  
  
  
  Update the OData Service: After making changes to the data model, regenerate the OData service to ensure that the changes are reflected in the service metadata. This can typically be done using transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE to maintain the service.
  
  
  Check Annotations: Ensure that any annotations related to the properties are correctly defined and consistent with the data types.
  
  
  Test the Service: After making the necessary changes, test the OData service to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the properties are being exposed correctly.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  OData Service Metadata: You can view the metadata of the OData service by appending $metadata to the service URL. This will help you identify which properties are missing EDM types.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address similar issues or provide additional guidance on defining EDM types.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Gateway documentation for more information on how to define and manage OData services and their data models.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your OData service is functioning correctly.
