• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWFND/CM_COS045 - Object group '&1' not active; it is either not active or does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_COS045 Object group '&1' not active; it is either not active or does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway services, particularly when dealing with OData services. This error indicates that the specified object group (in this case, represented by &1) is either not activated or does not exist in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Object Group Not Active: The object group referenced in the error message has not been activated in the SAP system.
  Object Group Does Not Exist: The object group may not exist in the system, possibly due to a misconfiguration or an incorrect reference.
  Transport Issues: If the object group was recently transported from another system, it may not have been activated properly in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object group.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Group Activation:
  
  Go to transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE.
  Check if the object group is listed and ensure it is activated. If it is not active, activate it.
  
  
  
  Verify Object Group Existence:
  
  Use transaction code SE80 or SE11 to check if the object group exists in the system.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or transport it from another system.
  
  
  
  Transport Request:
  
  If the object group was recently transported, ensure that the transport request was completed successfully and that all necessary objects were included.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the object group. This can be checked in transaction SU53 after attempting to access the service.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the Service:
  
  Sometimes, simply re-activating the service can resolve the issue. Go to /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE, find the service, and re-activate it.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that all dependent objects (like data models, service definitions, etc.) are also active and correctly configured.
