• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWFND/CM_MGW305 - ICF-Node '&1' for Service '&2' deleted ?

  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_MGW305 ICF-Node '&1' for Service '&2' deleted typically indicates that an ICF (Internet Communication Framework) node associated with a specific OData service has been deleted or is no longer available. This can happen for various reasons, such as changes in the service configuration, deletion of the service, or issues with the underlying transport layer.
  Cause:
  
  Service Deletion: The OData service might have been deleted or deactivated in the SAP Gateway.
  ICF Node Deletion: The ICF node associated with the service may have been manually deleted or not properly activated.
  Transport Issues: If the service was transported from one system to another, the ICF node may not have been included in the transport.
  Configuration Changes: Changes in the configuration of the SAP Gateway or the OData service could lead to the deletion of the ICF node.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Service Activation:
  
  Go to the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE).
  Ensure that the service is activated. If it is not, activate it.
  
  
  
  Recreate ICF Node:
  
  If the ICF node is missing, you can recreate it by reactivating the service.
  Use transaction code SICF to check if the ICF node exists. If it does not, you may need to create it manually or reactivate the service.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the service was transported, ensure that all necessary objects, including the ICF nodes, were included in the transport request.
  Check the transport logs for any errors or warnings related to the service.
  
  
  
  Check Logs:
  
  Use transaction SLG1 to check the application logs for any related errors that might provide more context on the issue.
  
  
  
  System Restart:
  
  In some cases, a restart of the SAP Gateway service or the entire SAP system may resolve transient issues.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
