• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PFO1153 - DataSources for object kind &1 object type &2 already created ?

  The SAP error message PFO1153 indicates that there is an attempt to create DataSources for a specific object kind and object type that have already been created in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Data Services when trying to replicate or create DataSources that already exist.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Duplicate DataSource Creation: The DataSource you are trying to create already exists in the system for the specified object kind and object type.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the settings or parameters that leads to the system attempting to create a DataSource that is already present.
  Transport Issues: If you are transporting objects between systems, the DataSource might have been transported already, leading to duplication attempts.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the PFO1153 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing DataSources:
  
  Go to the DataSource management area in SAP BW (transaction code RSA1).
  Look for the DataSource using the object kind and object type specified in the error message.
  If it exists, you may not need to create it again.
  
  
  
  Modify or Use Existing DataSource:
  
  If the DataSource already exists and is configured correctly, you can use it instead of trying to create a new one.
  If modifications are needed, you can edit the existing DataSource rather than creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Delete Duplicate DataSource:
  
  If you find that there are duplicates and one is not needed, you can delete the unnecessary DataSource.
  Be cautious when deleting to ensure that it does not affect other processes or reports.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue is related to transport, check the transport requests to ensure that the DataSource was not already included in a previous transport.
  If necessary, adjust the transport requests to avoid duplication.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to DataSource creation and management for any specific guidelines or best practices.
