  The SAP error message FDT_HRF035 indicates that there is an issue with the object type being used in a certain context within the SAP system. Specifically, the message states that the object type specified (denoted as &1) is not valid and that you should use either a function, rule, or application.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDI) or Flexible Data Transfer (FDT) framework, where the system expects a specific type of object (function, rule, or application) but receives an invalid or unsupported type instead. Common causes include:
  
  Incorrect Object Type: The object type specified in the configuration or during execution does not match the expected types (function, rule, or application).
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the FDT settings or the way the objects are defined.
  Typographical Errors: There could be a typo in the object name or type being referenced.
  Missing Objects: The function, rule, or application that is being referenced may not exist or may not be activated in the system.
  
  Solution:

  Check Object Type: Verify that the object type you are trying to use is indeed a function, rule, or application. Ensure that you are not mistakenly using an unsupported object type.

  Correct Typographical Errors: Double-check the names and types of the objects being referenced for any typographical errors.
  
  
  Validate Object Existence: Ensure that the function, rule, or application you are trying to use actually exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction codes or configuration areas in SAP.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the specific object types and their usage within the FDT framework.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and use the specified objects.
