• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /STTPEC/ODATA026 - OData RFC connection (type H) for & not maintained in BD97 model! ?

  The SAP error message /STTPEC/ODATA026 OData RFC connection (type H) for & not maintained in BD97 model! typically indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the OData service and its connection settings in the SAP system. This error is often encountered when trying to access an OData service that relies on a specific RFC (Remote Function Call) connection that has not been properly configured in the BD97 transaction.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Connection: The error suggests that the OData service is trying to use an RFC connection of type "H" (HTTP) that has not been defined in the BD97 model.
  Incorrect Configuration: The OData service may be incorrectly configured, or the necessary settings in the backend system are not properly maintained.
  Transport Layer Issues: If the OData service was transported from one system to another, the RFC connection might not have been set up in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Connection:
  
  Go to transaction BD97 in the SAP GUI.
  Verify if the required RFC connection of type "H" is maintained for the OData service you are trying to access.
  If it is missing, you will need to create or maintain the RFC connection.
  
  
  
  Create or Maintain RFC Connection:
  
  If the RFC connection is not present, you can create it by following these steps:
  
  Go to transaction SM59.
  Create a new RFC connection of type "H" (HTTP connection to external server).
  Fill in the necessary details such as target host, service, and any authentication details required.
  
  
  Ensure that the connection is tested and working properly.
  
  
  
  Check OData Service Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE to check the OData service registration.
  Ensure that the service is correctly registered and that the relevant system alias is pointing to the correct RFC connection.
  
  
  
  Transport Considerations:
  
  If the OData service was transported, ensure that all necessary configurations, including RFC connections, are also transported to the target system.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the OData service and the underlying RFC connection.
