• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWFND/CM_COS086 - Direct execution of inherited service '&1' is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_COS086 indicates that there is an attempt to directly execute an inherited service in the OData framework, which is not permitted. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway services where a service is inherited from a base service, and direct execution of the inherited service is restricted.
  Cause:
  
  Service Inheritance: The error arises when you try to execute a service that is inherited from another service. In SAP Gateway, inherited services are meant to extend or modify the behavior of a base service, and direct execution of these inherited services is not allowed.
  Service Registration: The inherited service may not be properly registered or activated in the SAP Gateway system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the service definition or the service implementation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use the Base Service: Instead of trying to execute the inherited service directly, you should execute the base service from which it is inherited. This is the recommended approach.
  Check Service Registration: Ensure that both the base service and the inherited service are properly registered and activated in the SAP Gateway. You can do this using transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE.
  Review Service Implementation: If you need to test the inherited service, ensure that you are calling it through the appropriate context (e.g., through a UI or another service that utilizes it).
  Adjust Service Configuration: If you need to allow direct execution of the inherited service, you may need to adjust the service configuration, but this is generally not recommended as it can lead to unexpected behavior.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for OData services and service inheritance to understand the best practices and guidelines.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Gateway: The SAP Gateway is a technology that allows you to connect devices, environments, and platforms to SAP systems. It enables the creation of OData services.
  OData Services: OData (Open Data Protocol) is a standard protocol for creating and consuming data APIs. In SAP, OData services are used to expose business data and logic.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE for service maintenance and /IWFND/ERROR_LOG for checking error logs related to OData services.
