• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_GW_ATC_CONSMPTN818 - @Consumption.ranking.activeFunctions missing, ranking not effective ?

  The SAP error message SADL_GW_ATC_CONSMPTN818 typically indicates an issue related to the consumption of Active Functions in the SAP Gateway framework, particularly when using the SAP ABAP Programming Model for SAP Fiori or OData services. This error suggests that the ranking of active functions is not effective due to a missing configuration or setup.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Active Functions: The error may occur if there are no active functions defined in the system that can be used for the specific OData service or consumption scenario.
  Configuration Issues: There might be a misconfiguration in the service definition or the associated annotations that define how the active functions should be ranked and consumed.
  Transport Issues: If the system has recently undergone a transport of changes, it is possible that the active functions were not properly transported or activated in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user might not have the necessary authorizations to access the active functions, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Functions: Verify that the active functions are correctly defined and activated in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant service definitions in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW).
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the configuration for the OData service and the associated annotations are correctly set up. This includes checking the @Consumption.ranking annotations in your CDS views or service definitions.
  Activate Services: If you have made changes to the service or its functions, make sure to activate the service in the SAP Gateway (transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE).
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all necessary objects related to the active functions were included in the transport request and that they have been successfully imported.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the active functions. You can check this using transaction SU53 after attempting to access the service.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the OData service to identify where the ranking is failing. This may involve looking at the backend logic or the service implementation.
