  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_MED085 indicates that there is an issue with an operation import in an OData service where the operation does not have an EDM (Entity Data Model) name defined. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services when the service definition is incomplete or incorrectly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing EDM Name: The operation import is defined in the OData service but lacks a corresponding EDM name. This can happen if the operation import was created without specifying the necessary metadata.
  Incorrect Service Definition: The service definition might not be properly set up, leading to missing or incorrect references in the metadata.
  Model Issues: There may be issues with the underlying data model or the way the service is generated from the data model.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Operation Import Definition:
  
  Go to the Service Builder (transaction code SEGW).
  Locate the specific OData service and check the operation imports defined.
  Ensure that each operation import has a valid EDM name associated with it.

  Make sure to provide a meaningful name that corresponds to the operation being performed.
  
  
  
  Regenerate the Service:
  
  After making changes, regenerate the service to ensure that the metadata is updated.
  Use the "Generate" option in the Service Builder to regenerate the service.
  
  
  
  Check Metadata:
  
  After regeneration, check the service metadata (usually accessible via the service URL with $metadata appended) to confirm that the operation imports are correctly defined with EDM names.
  
  
  
  Test the Service:
  
  Test the OData service to ensure that the operation imports are functioning as expected after making the changes.
