  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_MED337 indicates that there is a conflict with the schema namespace in your OData service. Specifically, it means that the schema namespace you are trying to add is not unique, which can occur when multiple service references are trying to define the same namespace.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Namespace: The error typically arises when two or more OData service references are trying to use the same schema namespace. This can happen if:
  
  You have multiple services that are defined with the same namespace.
  You are trying to import or reference a service that has already been imported with the same namespace.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the service definitions or the way they are being referenced in your project.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Services: Review the existing OData services in your system to identify if the namespace is already in use. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the OData service configuration in the SAP Gateway.
  Checking the service definitions for any duplicate namespaces.
  
  
  
  Modify Namespace: If you find that the namespace is indeed duplicated, you can:
  
  Change the namespace of the new service you are trying to add to a unique one.
  Ensure that all services that are supposed to share the same namespace are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Delete or Deactivate Conflicting Services: If the conflicting service is not needed, consider deleting or deactivating it to resolve the conflict.
  
  
  Re-import Services: If you have made changes to the service definitions, you may need to re-import the services to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Check Service References: Ensure that the service references in your project are correctly pointing to the intended services and that there are no unintended references to services with the same namespace.
