Help Document

Diagnosis

The metadata entity with the internal ID '' has not been found. This means that the request URL or the metadata definition in BEP (or Gateway) contains an error.

Possible reasons are

• The URL contains a segment with a wrong name. E.g. the requested entity set or function import does not exist.
• The metadata definition is not correct. E.g. the definition of an association references to an entity set that does not exist. This is especially likely if two services have been composed via method INCLUDE_MODEL_BY_SERVICE_ID in the BEP Add-On.

System Response

The request cannot be processed.

Procedure

• Validate your request URL.
• Start with the service document only. Is this request processed succesfully?
• Build up your your request URL carefully step by step and make sure to avoid any spelling errors.
• Check the error log. Transaction /IWFND/ERROR_LOG
• What other errors are showing? What does their long text tell you?
• If you are a developer, use the functions "Active Source" and "Call stack" to start your debugging.
