• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_ANLY_SOURCES033 - Supply either OData file name or view name ?

  The SAP error message MDG_ANLY_SOURCES033 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration or execution of an OData service in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG). Specifically, the error message states that either an OData file name or a view name must be supplied, which means that the system is expecting one of these parameters to be provided but is not receiving it.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Parameters: The most common cause of this error is that the OData service is being called without specifying either the OData file name or the view name. This can happen if the configuration is incomplete or if the calling application does not pass the required parameters.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the OData service in the SAP Gateway or MDG settings, leading to the service not being able to retrieve the necessary data.
  
  
  Incorrect Service URL: If the URL used to call the OData service is incorrect or malformed, it may not include the necessary parameters.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check OData Service Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE) and ensure that the OData service is correctly configured and activated.
  Verify that the service is properly registered and that the necessary parameters (file name or view name) are defined.
  
  
  
  Review the Calling Application:
  
  If you are calling the OData service from an application (like Fiori or a custom application), ensure that the application is correctly passing the required parameters.
  Check the code or configuration of the application to ensure that it includes either the OData file name or the view name in the request.
  
  
  
  Test the OData Service:
  
  Use the SAP Gateway Client (transaction code /IWFND/GW_CLIENT) to test the OData service directly. This can help you identify if the issue is with the service itself or with how it is being called from another application.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates or Notes:
  
  Look for any SAP Notes or updates related to the specific version of MDG you are using. There may be known issues or patches that address this error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the official SAP documentation for MDG and OData services to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for configuration and usage.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP MDG Documentation: Refer to the official SAP Help Portal for detailed information on configuring and using MDG and OData services.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE for service maintenance and /IWFND/GW_CLIENT for testing OData services.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
