Symptom
When running an OData reporting metadata query, such as:
https://my<insert system URL>/sap/c4c/odata/ana_businessanalytics_analytics.svc/$metadata?
You receive an error message or the page does not finish loading.
Environment
- SAP Business byDesign
- SAP Cloud for Customer
Cause
This query returns the metadata of every single report in your system. In most cases, this will lead to a memory issue, since there are too many reports with too many fields.
Resolution
If you require to see report metadata, please run the query for a specific report, for example:
https://my<insert system URL>/sap/c4c/odata/ana_businessanalytics_analytics.svc/$metadata?entityset=RPCODCUSTOMER_Q0001QueryResults
Alternatively, you can run the metadata query for a different work center (not Business Analytics) if there are no too many reports assigned to that work center. For example:
https://my<insert system URL>/sap/c4c/odata/cod_activities_analytics.svc/$metadata
