• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWFND/CM_IFL018 - Dependant objects of the GSDO type '&1' are requested ?

  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_IFL018 typically indicates that there is an issue related to the dependent objects of a Generic Service Data Object (GSDO) type in the context of SAP Gateway or OData services. This error usually arises when the system is unable to find or access the dependent objects that are required for the operation being performed.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Dependent Objects: The error often occurs when the dependent objects (like entities, associations, or navigation properties) that are required for the GSDO are not defined or are missing in the service definition.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the OData service or the underlying data model that leads to the system being unable to resolve the dependencies.
  Transport Issues: If the GSDO was transported from one system to another, the dependent objects may not have been transported correctly.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the dependent objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Service Definition: Verify the service definition in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW). Ensure that all dependent objects are correctly defined and activated.
  Activate Objects: If any dependent objects are not activated, activate them in the service builder.
  Check Data Model: Review the data model to ensure that all associations and navigation properties are correctly defined and that the underlying database tables or structures exist.
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the GSDO and its dependent objects.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the OData service to identify where the failure occurs and what specific dependent objects are causing the issue.
