Cannot delete ODATA service

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I'm in the data service catalog '/iwfnd/maint_service'.  I'm trying to delete a service that someone created, but it won't let me.  I'm following Delete the Service - SAP Gateway Foundation (SAP_GWFND) - SAP Library , but when I get to the delete service portion, I get 'Service can only be deleted in original system 'SAP'.'.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  I would appreciate it if someone could give me some direction?

Best regards and thanks for your assistance,

Jim

Hi James,

You are trying to delete Standard OData Service.

These service are inbuilt, which might have dependency.

These steps which given in your link will work only for custom service.

Thanks,

I am afraid it is a standard OData service. Might be Possible reason.

Hello James,

Are you performing deletion in your development system ?

Hi Ashwin and Jude,

I'm doing this in a QA system.  They had set it up directly in QA, not in DEV and transported.  As a matter of fact, the service isn't even being used in DEV.  So, I'm not exactly sure how to proceed.  Should I set up the service in DEV, delete it and then transport the deletion to QA?  Like I said, not sure on this one.  Also, sorry I put this in the wrong area.

Thanks for your replies,

Jim

Since this is the SAPgui area,responsible for the SAPgui client, you should get better results  asking this in the Gateway area.

Hi James,

Why don't you try deactivating the icf node

The issue actually belongs in , rather than SAPgui.
