• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/SBDSP_DM014 - Key property &1 is not mapped in the Update operation ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBDSP_DM014 Key property &1 is not mapped in the Update operation typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services when there is an issue with the mapping of key properties in an update operation. This error indicates that a key property that is expected to be part of the update operation is not correctly mapped in the service implementation.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Key Property Mapping: The key property (indicated by &1 in the error message) is not included in the mapping of the OData service for the update operation.
  Incorrect Service Implementation: The service implementation may not correctly handle the key properties, leading to a mismatch between the expected and actual data.
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been changes in the underlying data model (like adding or removing key fields), the OData service may not reflect these changes.
  Service Metadata Issues: The service metadata might not be updated or correctly defined, leading to discrepancies in the expected key properties.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check OData Service Definition:
  
  Go to the OData service definition in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW).
  Ensure that the key properties are correctly defined in the entity type and that they are included in the update operation.
  
  
  
  Update Mapping:
  
  In the Service Builder, check the mapping for the update operation (e.g., UPDATE_ENTITY).
  Ensure that all key properties are mapped correctly to the corresponding fields in the data source.
  
  
  
  Regenerate the Service:
  
  If changes were made to the data model or the service definition, regenerate the service to ensure that the changes are reflected.
  Use the "Generate Runtime Objects" option in the Service Builder.
  
  
  
  Check Metadata:
  
  Check the service metadata (by accessing the service URL with $metadata) to ensure that the key properties are correctly defined.
  If necessary, refresh the metadata.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the service implementation to trace where the mapping might be failing.
  Check the implementation of the update method in the Data Provider Class (DPC) to ensure that it correctly handles the key properties.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the update operation again to verify that the error has been resolved.
