• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWFND/CM_MGW_RT132 - Association set '&1' references to disabled association '&2' ?

  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_MGW_RT132 indicates that there is an issue with an association in your OData service. Specifically, it states that an association set is referencing a disabled association. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services when there is a mismatch or misconfiguration in the service metadata.
  Cause:
  
  Disabled Association: The association that is being referenced in the association set is marked as disabled in the service definition. This can happen if the association was intentionally disabled or if there was a change in the data model that was not properly reflected in the service.
  Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model (like adding or removing associations) and the service has not been regenerated or activated, it can lead to this error.
  Service Activation: The OData service might not be activated properly, or the associations might not be included in the service definition.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Service Definition:
  
  Go to the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW).
  Open the relevant project and check the associations defined in the data model.
  Ensure that the association being referenced is enabled and correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Regenerate the Service:
  
  If you have made changes to the data model, regenerate the service by right-clicking on the project and selecting "Generate Runtime Objects".
  After regeneration, activate the service again.
  
  
  
  Check Service Activation:
  
  Use transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE to check if the service is active.
  If it is not active, activate it.
  
  
  
  Review Metadata:
  
  Check the metadata of the OData service to ensure that the associations are correctly defined and that there are no discrepancies.
  You can access the metadata by appending $metadata to the service URL.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the service to trace where the error is occurring. This can provide insights into why the association is being referenced incorrectly.
