• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/SBDSP_UI035 - Only properties can be selected ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBDSP_UI035: Only properties can be selected typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services when there is an issue with the selection of fields in a query. This error indicates that the system expects only properties (fields) to be selected, but something else (like a function or an unsupported operation) is being attempted.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Selection: The error usually arises when the OData service is trying to select a non-property element, such as a navigation property or a function import, which is not allowed in the context of the query.
  Service Definition Issues: There may be issues in the service definition where the properties are not correctly defined or exposed.
  Query Structure: The structure of the OData query might be incorrect, leading to the selection of unsupported elements.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the OData Query: Review the OData query being sent to the service. Ensure that only properties are being selected. For example, if you are using $select, make sure it only includes valid property names.
  Example of a valid query:
  /YourService/EntitySet?$select=Property1,Property2
  
  
  Review Service Metadata: Use the service's metadata (usually accessible via the $metadata endpoint) to verify the available properties and ensure that you are selecting only those.
  
  
  Adjust the Service Definition: If you have access to the service definition in SAP Gateway, check the entity types and ensure that all properties are correctly defined and exposed.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to the backend, you can debug the OData service to see what is being processed and where the error is occurring.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for OData services and the specific service you are working with to ensure compliance with the expected query structure.
