• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRMS_BIW_RECON003 - Mode &1 is not supported by DataSource ?

  The SAP error message HRMS_BIW_RECON003 indicates that a specific mode (denoted by &1) is not supported by the DataSource you are trying to use in your SAP BW (Business Warehouse) environment. This error typically arises when there is a mismatch between the data extraction mode you are attempting to use and the capabilities of the DataSource.
  Cause:
  
  Unsupported Mode: The DataSource you are using may not support the mode you are trying to execute (e.g., delta, full, etc.). For instance, if you are trying to perform a delta load but the DataSource is only configured for full loads, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: The DataSource may not be properly configured in the SAP system, leading to unsupported operations.
  Version Compatibility: There may be compatibility issues between the version of the DataSource and the BW system you are using.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DataSource Configuration: 
  
  Go to the DataSource in the SAP system (transaction code RSA1 for Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Verify the settings and ensure that the DataSource is configured to support the mode you are trying to use.
  
  
  
  Use Supported Mode: 
  
  If the DataSource does not support the mode you are trying to use, switch to a supported mode. For example, if you are trying to perform a delta load, consider using a full load if that is supported.
  
  
  
  Update DataSource: 
  
  If necessary, update the DataSource to ensure it is compatible with the BW system. This may involve reactivating the DataSource or making adjustments in the settings.
  
  
  
  Check Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific DataSource to understand its capabilities and limitations.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: 
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide guidance on the DataSource in question.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  After making changes, perform a test extraction to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  DataSource Types: Understand the different types of DataSources (e.g., standard, generic, and custom) and their capabilities.
  Extraction Modes: Familiarize yourself with the various extraction modes (full, delta, etc.) and when to use them.
