• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWFND/CM_DATA_CON_S014 - Nothing found for consumer, searching for consumer-independent config. ?

  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_DATA_CON_S014 indicates that the system is unable to find a specific consumer configuration for the OData service you are trying to access. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway services when the system is looking for consumer-specific settings but cannot find them, and it is then attempting to search for consumer-independent configurations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Consumer Configuration: The specific consumer (client application) does not have a defined configuration in the SAP Gateway.
  Service Not Registered: The OData service may not be properly registered or activated in the SAP Gateway.
  Authorization Issues: The user or application may not have the necessary authorizations to access the service.
  Incorrect Service URL: The URL being used to access the OData service may be incorrect or malformed.
  Transport Issues: If the service was recently transported from another system, the consumer configuration may not have been included.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Consumer Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW) and check if the consumer configuration exists for the service you are trying to access.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or adjust the existing configuration.
  
  
  
  Register and Activate the Service:
  
  Use transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE to check if the OData service is registered and activated. If not, register and activate it.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user or application has the necessary authorizations to access the OData service. Check the roles and authorizations assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Verify Service URL:
  
  Double-check the URL you are using to access the OData service. Ensure it is correctly formatted and points to the right service.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the service was transported from another system, ensure that all necessary configurations, including consumer settings, were included in the transport request.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the OData service to identify where the failure occurs. You can use transaction SE80 or SEGW to analyze the service implementation.
