  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_MED084 indicates that there is an issue with an operation import in an OData service. Specifically, the error states that the operation import does not have an internal name, which is required for the operation to be recognized and processed correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Internal Name: The operation import in the OData service definition is missing an internal name. This can happen if the service was not properly defined or if there was an error during the generation of the service.
  Incorrect Metadata: The metadata for the OData service may not be correctly defined, leading to inconsistencies in how operations are recognized.
  Model Issues: There may be issues with the underlying data model or the way the service is configured in the SAP Gateway.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Service Definition:
  
  Go to the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW).
  Open the relevant project and check the operation imports defined in the service.
  Ensure that each operation import has a valid internal name assigned.

  Activate the Service:
  
  Ensure that the OData service is activated in the SAP Gateway. You can do this using transaction code IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE.
  Check if the service is listed and activated. If not, activate it.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the service to identify where the internal name is not being set or recognized.
