• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWFND/CM_COS036 - GSI implementation '&1' '&2' does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_COS036 indicates that there is an issue with the implementation of a Generic Service Interface (GSI) in the SAP Gateway. Specifically, the message states that the GSI implementation identified by the parameters &1 and &2 does not exist. This typically means that the system is trying to access a service or implementation that has not been defined or activated in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Non-existent Implementation: The specified GSI implementation does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the name or the implementation not being created at all.
  Deactivated Implementation: The implementation exists but is not activated. In SAP Gateway, services and their implementations need to be activated to be usable.
  Transport Issues: If the implementation was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly imported or activated in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the GSI implementation, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Implementation Name: Verify that the names of the GSI implementation being called are correct. Ensure there are no typos or incorrect parameters.
  Create/Activate Implementation:
  
  Go to the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW).
  Check if the implementation exists. If it does not, you may need to create it.
  If it exists but is not activated, activate it.
  
  
  Transport Check: If the implementation was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure it was successfully imported and activated in the target system.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the GSI implementation. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in the user profile.
  Check Service Registration: Use transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE to check if the service is registered and active. If not, you may need to register it.
