  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBDM060 Prototype of node '&1' no longer exists typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services. This error indicates that the prototype (or definition) of a specific node in the data model is no longer available or has been deleted. This can happen for various reasons, such as changes in the underlying data model, deletion of the node, or issues with the service definition.
  Causes:
  
  Node Deletion: The node referenced in the error message has been deleted or renamed in the data model.
  Service Changes: Changes made to the OData service or data model that are not reflected in the service implementation.
  Inconsistent Metadata: The metadata of the OData service may be inconsistent with the actual data model.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Model: Verify that the node referenced in the error message exists in the data model. If it has been deleted or renamed, you may need to update your service implementation accordingly.
