  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_MGW021 ICF-Service '&1' disabled indicates that the ICF (Internet Communication Framework) service required for the OData service is disabled. This can prevent the OData service from being accessed, leading to issues when trying to consume the service.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the ICF service associated with the OData service is not activated. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  The service was never activated.
  The service was deactivated manually by an administrator.
  The service is part of a transport that has not been imported or activated in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to activate the ICF service. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Access the ICF Service Maintenance:
  
  Go to transaction code SICF in the SAP GUI.

  Activate the Service:
  
  Once you find the service, right-click on it and select "Activate Service" from the context menu.
  If the service is already activated, you may want to check if there are any authorization issues or if the service is properly configured.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the service. You may need to check the roles and authorizations assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Test the Service:
