• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IBX/PE_RAPI_SRV024 - The constructor of result API class &1 is PROTECTED ?

  The SAP error message /IBX/PE_RAPI_SRV024 indicates that there is an issue with the constructor of a result API class being declared as PROTECTED. This typically means that the class cannot be instantiated directly outside of its own class hierarchy, which can lead to issues when trying to create an instance of that class in your code.
  Cause:
  
  Access Modifiers: The constructor of the class in question is marked as PROTECTED, which restricts its instantiation to subclasses or within the same package. If your code is trying to create an instance of this class directly, it will result in this error.
  Incorrect Usage: The API might be designed to be used in a specific way, and trying to instantiate the class directly goes against its intended usage.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Documentation: Review the API documentation to understand how the class is intended to be used. There may be factory methods or other classes that are meant to be used to obtain instances of the class.
  Use Subclassing: If you need to create an instance of the class, consider creating a subclass that can access the protected constructor.
  Refactor Code: Modify your code to use the appropriate method for obtaining an instance of the class, rather than trying to instantiate it directly.
  Contact Support: If you believe this is an error or if the documentation is unclear, consider reaching out to SAP support for clarification.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP API Documentation: Always refer to the official SAP API documentation for the specific version you are using. This will provide insights into the intended usage of classes and methods.
  Access Modifiers in ABAP: Understanding how access modifiers work in ABAP can help you navigate similar issues in the future. In ABAP, PUBLIC, PROTECTED, and PRIVATE control the visibility of class components.
  Best Practices: Familiarize yourself with best practices for using SAP APIs, including how to handle object instantiation and lifecycle management.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and use the API as intended.
