• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IBX/PE_FILE_SRV034 - Constructor of file service class &1 is PROTECTED ?

  The SAP error message /IBX/PE_FILE_SRV034 Constructor of file service class &1 is PROTECTED typically indicates that there is an issue with the instantiation of a class in the ABAP environment. Specifically, it suggests that the constructor method of the specified class is declared as PROTECTED, which means that it cannot be instantiated directly outside of the class or its subclasses.
  Cause:
  
  Protected Constructor: The class you are trying to instantiate has a constructor that is marked as PROTECTED. This means that only the class itself or its subclasses can create instances of it.
  Incorrect Usage: The code attempting to create an instance of this class is likely not within a subclass or is trying to instantiate it directly, which is not allowed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Class Definition: Review the class definition of the specified class (replace &1 with the actual class name in the error message). Look for the constructor method and confirm that it is indeed marked as PROTECTED.
  Use Subclassing: If you need to create an instance of this class, consider creating a subclass that inherits from it. You can then instantiate the subclass, which can call the protected constructor of the parent class.
  Factory Method: If the class provides a factory method (a static method that returns an instance of the class), use that method instead of trying to instantiate the class directly.
  Review Documentation: Check the SAP documentation or any related documentation for the class to understand how it is intended to be used.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Class Visibility: In ABAP, class members (including constructors) can have different visibility levels: PUBLIC, PROTECTED, and PRIVATE. Understanding these visibility levels is crucial for proper class design and usage.
  Inheritance in ABAP: Familiarize yourself with how inheritance works in ABAP, as it allows you to extend classes and access protected members.
  SAP Notes and Community: If the issue persists or if you need more specific guidance, consider searching for SAP Notes related to the error message or asking in SAP community forums for additional insights.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and understand the underlying cause.
