Hi Scott,
yeah that's right, having a quick look the note does not seem to be the solution.
But if you got the exact same error like Anne and me, the mentioned note will fix it.
The problem were some corrupt BEx-Queries, which are the source of the oData services to be activated.
So once the system tries to generate/ activate the mentioned oData services, it fails to do so because of problems of the underlying data-source (BEx-Queries already mentioned here and delivered by SAP).
The note fixes the delivered BEx-Queries and afterwards building the oData services on top will succeed.
regards
Mirko
