/IWBEP/SBOD034 - Details

• The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD034 indicates that there is an issue with the definition of a property in an OData service. Specifically, the error states that a property is defined with a complex type that recursively references itself, which is not allowed in OData service definitions.
  
  Cause:
  The error typically arises from one of the following scenarios:
  
  Recursive Definition: A complex type is defined in such a way that it references itself directly or indirectly. For example, if a complex type A contains a property of type A, it creates a recursive structure.
  Incorrect Metadata: The metadata definition for the OData service may have been incorrectly configured, leading to a recursive reference.
  Modeling Error: There may be a modeling error in the way the data structure is designed, leading to unintended recursive relationships.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Complex Type Definition:
  
  Check the definition of the complex type mentioned in the
