• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_ENTITY_RUNTIME035 - Function import '&1' is not unique for actions &2 and &3 ?

  The SAP error message SADL_ENTITY_RUNTIME035 indicates that there is a conflict in the function imports defined in your SAP system. Specifically, it states that the function import you are trying to call is not unique for the specified actions. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway or OData services when there are multiple actions or function imports that match the same name or signature.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Function Imports: There are multiple function imports defined in your OData service with the same name, which leads to ambiguity when the service is called.
  Conflicting Actions: The actions that are being referenced in the error message (&2 and &3) may have similar signatures or names, causing the system to be unable to determine which one to execute.
  Service Definition Issues: The service definition might not be properly configured, leading to conflicts in the function imports.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Function Imports: Review the function imports defined in your OData service. Ensure that each function import has a unique name and signature. If there are duplicates, rename them or modify their parameters to make them unique.
  
  
  Review Action Definitions: Look at the actions that are causing the conflict. Ensure that they are correctly defined and do not overlap in terms of their functionality or naming.
  
  
  Regenerate the Service: After making changes to the function imports or actions, regenerate the OData service. This can often resolve issues related to outdated metadata.
  
  
  Test the Service: After making the necessary changes, test the OData service to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the correct function import is being called.
  
  
  Check for Caching Issues: Sometimes, caching can cause old definitions to persist. Clear any caches related to the OData service and try again.
