• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWPGW/PGW_SERVICE105 - SAP Gateway context attribute &1 is not bound ?

  The SAP error message /IWPGW/PGW_SERVICE105 indicates that there is an issue with the SAP Gateway service where a context attribute is not bound. This typically occurs in the context of OData services or when working with SAP Gateway and can be related to various issues in the service implementation or configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Unbound Context Attribute: The error suggests that a context attribute (denoted by &1 in the message) is being referenced in the service but has not been properly bound to a data source or entity.
  Service Implementation Issues: There may be issues in the implementation of the OData service, such as missing or incorrectly defined properties in the data model.
  Model Configuration: The data model might not be correctly configured, leading to attributes not being recognized or bound.
  Service Registration: The OData service may not be properly registered or activated in the SAP Gateway.
  Data Retrieval Issues: If the service is trying to retrieve data that does not exist or is not accessible, it may lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Service Implementation:
  
  Review the implementation of the OData service in the SAP Gateway. Ensure that all context attributes are correctly defined and bound to the appropriate data sources.
  Use transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE to check the service registration and ensure it is active.
  
  
  
  Review the Data Model:
  
  Ensure that the data model used in the OData service is correctly defined. Check for any missing properties or incorrect mappings.
  Use transaction code /IWFND/ERROR_LOG to check for any additional error messages that might provide more context.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you have access to the backend, you can debug the service to see where the binding is failing. This can help identify the specific context attribute that is causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the data being requested. Lack of authorization can sometimes lead to binding issues.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Service:
  
  If the issue persists, consider rebuilding the OData service. This can sometimes resolve issues related to outdated or corrupted service definitions.
