• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IBX/PE_CON_SRV024 - The constructor of connector class &1 is PROTECTED ?

  The SAP error message /IBX/PE_CON_SRV024 The constructor of connector class &1 is PROTECTED typically indicates that there is an issue with the instantiation of a connector class in the SAP system. This error occurs when the constructor of the specified connector class is declared as PROTECTED, which means that it cannot be instantiated directly outside of its own class or its subclasses.
  Cause:
  
  Protected Constructor: The connector class you are trying to instantiate has a constructor that is marked as PROTECTED. This is a design choice in object-oriented programming to restrict the instantiation of a class to its own class or subclasses.
  Incorrect Usage: The code or configuration that is attempting to create an instance of this connector class is not following the intended usage pattern defined by the class.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Class Definition: Review the definition of the connector class specified in the error message. Look for the constructor and confirm that it is indeed marked as PROTECTED.
  Use Subclass: If you need to create an instance of this class, consider creating a subclass that has a PUBLIC constructor. You can then instantiate the subclass instead.
  Factory Method: If the class is designed to be instantiated through a factory method or another design pattern, ensure that you are using the correct method to obtain an instance of the class.
  Review Documentation: Check the documentation for the connector class to understand the intended usage and any specific guidelines for instantiation.
  Consult with Developers: If you are not the developer of the connector class, consult with the development team or the person responsible for the class to understand the correct way to instantiate it.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Object-Oriented Programming: Understanding the principles of encapsulation and access modifiers (like PUBLIC, PROTECTED, and PRIVATE) can help clarify why this error occurs.
  SAP Connector Classes: Familiarize yourself with the specific connector classes used in your SAP environment, as they may have specific instantiation requirements.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP debugger, you can set breakpoints and inspect the call stack to see where the instantiation is failing.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and correctly instantiate the connector class as intended.
