How To Fix DRF_OUTBOUND070 - Implementing class &2 does not support filter object &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DRF_OUTBOUND - Messages for Outbound Services

• Message number: 070

• Message text: Implementing class &2 does not support filter object &1

What causes this issue?

You configure your own outbound implementation (here: Assign Filter
Objects) and use an implementing class &v2& delivered by SAP. However,
it is not possible to configure this outbound implementation so freely
that your own non-SAP filter objects are used by the implementing class.
You can only configure the filter object that is assigned to the
Business Object of the Service Operation.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Only assign filter objects that are used by the implementing class &v2&.
You can refer to the outbound implementation &v3&.
In order to be able to assign additional filter objects or those with
different names, you must modify the implementing class &v2& or copy it
to the customer-specific name space and then assign it to the outbound
implementation &v4&.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DRF_OUTBOUND070 - Implementing class &2 does not support filter object &1 ?

  The SAP error message DRF_OUTBOUND070 indicates that there is an issue with the implementation of a class that is supposed to handle a specific filter object in the Data Replication Framework (DRF). The message states that the implementing class (&2) does not support the specified filter object (&1).
  Cause:
  
  Class Implementation: The class that is supposed to handle the filter object may not have been implemented correctly or is missing the necessary methods to support the filter object.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the DRF settings, where the filter object is not correctly linked to the implementing class.
  Version Mismatch: The version of the class or the filter object may not be compatible, leading to this error.
  Custom Development: If there is custom development involved, the custom class may not have been designed to handle the specific filter object.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Class Implementation: Verify that the implementing class (&2) is correctly implemented and includes the necessary methods to handle the filter object (&1). You may need to consult the documentation or the developer who created the class.
  Review Configuration: Go to the DRF configuration settings and ensure that the filter object is correctly assigned to the implementing class. Check the settings in transaction DRFOUT or DRFIMG.
  Update or Correct the Class: If the class is missing functionality, you may need to update it to support the required filter object. This may involve adding methods or modifying existing ones.
  Check for Notes or Patches: Look for any SAP Notes or patches that may address this issue. Sometimes, SAP releases updates that fix known issues.
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like DRFOUT (for outbound configuration) and DRFIMG (for customizing settings) to access the relevant settings.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for the Data Replication Framework for detailed information on filter objects and class implementations.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if others have encountered similar issues and what solutions they found effective.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can set breakpoints in the class to see where the error occurs and gather more information about the context of the error.
