• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWFND/CM_MGW_EDP072 - Execution mode &1 is invalid for Get Expanded Entity Set operation ?

  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_MGW_EDP072 Execution mode &1 is invalid for Get Expanded Entity Set operation typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway services when there is an issue with the execution mode specified for a particular operation, especially when dealing with expanded entity sets in OData services.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Execution Mode: The error indicates that the execution mode specified (represented by &1 in the message) is not valid for the operation being performed. This can happen if the service is trying to execute a GET request for an expanded entity set but the execution mode does not support this operation.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the OData service or the underlying data model that prevent the operation from being executed correctly.
  Service Implementation: The implementation of the OData service might not be correctly handling the expanded entity set request, leading to the invalid execution mode error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Execution Mode: Review the execution mode being used in the request. Ensure that it is appropriate for the operation you are trying to perform. The valid execution modes for expanded entity sets typically include modes like GET, POST, etc.
  Service Configuration: Verify the configuration of the OData service in the SAP Gateway. Ensure that the service is properly defined and that the entity sets are correctly configured to support expansion.
  Debugging: Use transaction code /IWFND/ERROR_LOG to check for any additional error messages or logs that might provide more context about the issue. You can also use the SAP Gateway Client (transaction /IWFND/GW_CLIENT) to test the service and see the exact request and response.
  Review Implementation: If you have custom implementations for the OData service, review the code to ensure that it correctly handles expanded entity sets. Check for any conditions that might lead to an invalid execution mode being set.
  Update Service: If necessary, regenerate the service or update the service definition in the SAP Gateway to ensure that it reflects the current data model and configuration.
