This error indicates that there is an issue with the metadata definition (MDE) for a specific service or query, where no elements have been defined for the data model.

  Model Definition Issues: If the underlying data model does not have any fields or properties defined, this error can occur.

  Re-generate the Service: If the service was recently modified, try re-generating the service or the metadata definition. This can often resolve issues related to incomplete definitions.
  Review Data Model: Ensure that the underlying data model has the necessary fields and properties defined. If the model is empty, you will need to add the required elements.
  Check Configuration: Verify the configuration settings for the service in the SAP Gateway. Ensure that all necessary parameters are set correctly.
  Transport Consistency: If the service was transported, check for any inconsistencies or missing components in the target system. You may need to re-transport the service or manually adjust the configuration.
