  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_MGW018 typically indicates that there is an issue with a service group in the SAP Gateway framework. This error occurs when you attempt to delete or modify a service group that still has existing references or dependencies in the system.
  Cause:
  The error message /IWFND/CM_MGW018 Service group name '&1' '&2' '&3' still existing is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to delete a service group that is still in use or has not been properly deactivated.
  There are active services or service bindings associated with the service group.
  The service group may be referenced in other configurations or applications.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Active Services:
  
  Go to the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW).
  Check if there are any active services associated with the service group you are trying to delete. If there are, you need to deactivate or delete those services first.
  
  
  
  Deactivate Service Group:
  
  If the service group is still active, you can deactivate it. This can usually be done in the Service Maintenance (transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE).
  Find the service group and deactivate it.
  
  
  
  Check Service Bindings:
  
  Ensure that there are no service bindings that are still active. You can check this in the same Service Maintenance transaction.
  If there are bindings, you will need to remove or deactivate them.
  
  
  
  Clear Cache:
  
  Sometimes, clearing the cache can help resolve issues. You can do this by using transaction code /IWFND/CACHE to clear the Gateway cache.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Investigate if there are any other dependencies or references to the service group in other configurations or applications. You may need to remove or update those references.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Deletion:
  
  After ensuring that all dependencies are resolved and the service group is deactivated, try to delete the service group again.
