• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWFND/CM_740_EXTNS005 - Only ServiceName is a valid URL parameter ?

  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_740_EXTNS005 Only ServiceName is a valid URL parameter typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway services, particularly when dealing with OData services. This error indicates that the URL being used to access the service contains parameters that are not recognized or allowed by the SAP Gateway framework.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the inclusion of invalid URL parameters in the request to the OData service. In the context of SAP Gateway, only the ServiceName parameter is valid, and any additional parameters in the URL are not recognized, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the URL: Ensure that the URL you are using to access the OData service only includes the ServiceName parameter. Remove any other parameters that may have been added to the URL.
  
  
  Correct Usage: Make sure you are using the correct format for the OData service URL. The typical format is:
  /sap/opu/odata/sap/<ServiceName>
  Ensure that you are not appending any additional parameters that are not supported.
  
  
  Review Service Configuration: If you are developing or configuring the OData service, review the service definition in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW) to ensure that it is set up correctly and that you are using the correct service name.
  
  
  Check for Custom Implementations: If you have custom implementations or extensions, ensure that they are not introducing invalid parameters in the URL.
  
  
  Testing with Tools: Use tools like Postman or SAP Gateway Client (transaction /IWFND/GW_CLIENT) to test the service with the correct URL format and parameters.
