  The SAP error message SADL_GW_EXPOSURE022 indicates that there is an attempt to include a structure in a Gateway exposure that already exists. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and the Service Definition Model (SDM) when you are trying to expose a data model or service that has already been defined.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by trying to add a structure to a service or data model that has already been defined with that structure. This can happen if:
  
  You are trying to redefine or re-expose an existing structure.
  There is a duplicate entry in the service definition.
  The structure was already included in a previous version of the service.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Structures: Review the existing service definitions to see if the structure you are trying to include is already present. You can do this by navigating to the relevant service definition in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE).
  
  
  Remove Duplicate Entries: If you find that the structure is already included, you can either:
  
  Remove the duplicate entry from your current service definition.
  Modify your service definition to avoid including the same structure again.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Service Definition: If you need to make changes to the structure, consider modifying the existing structure rather than trying to include it again.
  
  
  Regenerate the Service: After making the necessary adjustments, regenerate the service to ensure that the changes take effect. You can do this in the Service Builder by selecting the service and choosing the "Regenerate" option.
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues: If you are working in a transport environment, ensure that the transport requests are correctly managed and that there are no inconsistencies between development and production systems.
