• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IBX/UIF033 - Constructor of request class &1 is PROTECTED ?

  The SAP error message /IBX/UIF033 Constructor of request class &1 is PROTECTED typically indicates that there is an issue with the instantiation of a class in the SAP system, specifically related to the visibility of the constructor of the class being referenced. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Protected Constructor: The error message suggests that the constructor of the class you are trying to instantiate is declared as PROTECTED. This means that the class cannot be instantiated directly outside of its own class or subclasses.
  Incorrect Usage: The code attempting to create an instance of the class is likely not within a subclass or is trying to access the constructor from an inappropriate context.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Class Definition: Review the class definition of the class indicated by &1 in the error message. Look for the constructor and check its visibility. If it is PROTECTED, you will need to either:
  
  Use a subclass that has access to the constructor.
  Modify the class definition to change the constructor's visibility to PUBLIC if appropriate and if you have the necessary permissions to do so.
  
  
  
  Use Factory Methods: If the class is designed to be instantiated only through specific methods (like factory methods), ensure you are using those methods instead of trying to instantiate the class directly.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Check the documentation for the class to understand how it is intended to be used. There may be specific guidelines or patterns that need to be followed.
  
  
  Consult with Developers: If you are not the original developer of the code, consult with the team or individual who wrote the class to understand the intended usage and any constraints.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Class Visibility: In ABAP, class visibility is an important concept. Constructors can be declared as PUBLIC, PROTECTED, or PRIVATE, which controls how and where instances of the class can be created.
  Inheritance in ABAP: If you are working with inheritance, ensure that you are correctly extending the class and that the subclass has access to the protected constructor.
  SAP Notes and Community: Check SAP Notes or the SAP Community for any known issues or discussions related to this error message. There may be specific patches or updates that address similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and understand the underlying cause. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
