  The SAP error message /PM0/AB_AT001 Data source &1 is not a secondary data source (SDS) typically occurs in the context of SAP's Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP) or when working with data sources in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error indicates that the data source you are trying to use is not recognized as a Secondary Data Source (SDS) in the system.
  Cause:
