• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/SBDSP_DM055 - Only Tables, Views and Structures of the DDIC are supported ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBDSP_DM055 Only Tables, Views and Structures of the DDIC are supported typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway or OData services when there is an attempt to use a data source that is not supported by the Data Dictionary (DDIC). This error indicates that the system is expecting a DDIC object (like a table, view, or structure) but has encountered something else, such as a function module, method, or other unsupported object types.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Data Source: The data source defined in the OData service is not a DDIC object. For example, it might be a method or a function module instead of a table or view.
  Service Definition Issues: The OData service might be incorrectly defined, pointing to an invalid or unsupported data source.
  Modeling Errors: There may be errors in the way the data model is set up in the service definition.
  Transport Issues: If the service was transported from one system to another, there might be inconsistencies or missing objects in the target system.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Data Source: Ensure that the data source you are using in your OData service is a valid DDIC object (table, view, or structure). You can check this in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  
  
  Review Service Definition: Go to the service definition in the SAP Gateway (transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE) and verify that the data source is correctly defined and points to a valid DDIC object.
  
  
  Adjust the Data Model: If you are using a custom data model, ensure that it is correctly set up to reference only DDIC objects. If you need to use complex logic, consider creating a view that encapsulates the logic and exposes it as a DDIC object.
  
  
  Recreate the Service: If the service definition is corrupted or incorrectly set up, consider recreating the OData service from scratch, ensuring that you only use valid DDIC objects.
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check if all necessary objects were transported correctly. You may need to transport missing DDIC objects.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, you can debug the OData service to see where the error is being triggered and gather more context about the data source being used.
