  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_CNP010 Message container empty typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services. This error indicates that the message container, which is expected to hold error messages or information, is empty when it should contain data. Here are some potential causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  Service Configuration Issues: The OData service may not be properly configured, leading to an empty message container.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the data or service, resulting in no messages being returned.
  Backend Issues: There may be issues in the backend system (e.g., ABAP program or database) that prevent data from being retrieved or processed correctly.
  Incorrect Request: The request sent to the OData service may be malformed or missing required parameters, leading to an empty response.
  Error Handling Logic: The error handling logic in the service might not be correctly implemented, causing it to return an empty message container instead of a meaningful error message.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Service Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the OData service is correctly configured in the SAP Gateway. You can check this in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE).
  Activate the service if it is not already activated.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the OData service. Check the roles and authorizations assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use transaction code /IWFND/ERROR_LOG to check for any logged errors related to the OData service.
  Debug the backend logic (if applicable) to see if there are any issues in the data retrieval process.
  
  
  
  Check Request Parameters:
  
  Review the request being sent to the OData service. Ensure that all required parameters are included and correctly formatted.
  
  
  
  Implement Error Handling:
  
  If you are developing or maintaining the OData service, ensure that proper error handling is implemented. This includes returning meaningful error messages in the message container.
  
  
  
  Check Backend System:
  
  If the OData service relies on a backend system (like an ABAP program), ensure that the backend is functioning correctly and that there are no issues with data retrieval.
