HTTP 500 / OData

OData request returns 500 Internal Server Error

Gateway returns HTTP 500 because backend processing raises an unhandled application, ABAP or framework error.

Likely root causes

  1. DPC_EXT/business logic raises an exception not converted to a controlled OData error.
  2. ABAP short dump occurs in backend processing.
  3. Data/customizing triggers an application failure.

What to inspect

  1. /IWFND/ERROR_LOG for request context and backend message.
  2. ST22 in the backend at the same timestamp.
  3. Application log and DPC_EXT implementation for custom services.
  4. Request payload and keys that reproduce the failure.

Resolution path

  1. Fix the underlying backend/application error, not the HTTP status itself.
  2. Return controlled business exceptions for expected validation failures.
  3. Regression-test with the failing payload and normal cases.
  4. Keep raw technical details out of public client responses.
