• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RODPS_SAPI104 - Extraction method &1 for DataSource &2 not supported by extractor ?

  The SAP error message RODPS_SAPI104 indicates that the extraction method specified for a particular DataSource is not supported by the extractor. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP S/4HANA when trying to extract data from a source system.
  Cause:
  
  Unsupported Extraction Method: The DataSource you are trying to use may be configured to use an extraction method that is not supported by the underlying extractor.

  Solution:
  
  Check DataSource Configuration: Review the configuration of the DataSource in the SAP BW system. Ensure that the extraction method you are trying to use is supported by the extractor.
  Use Supported Extraction Method: If the extraction method is not supported, switch to a supported method (e.g., from delta to full extraction) if applicable.
  Activate Extractor: If the extractor is not active, you may need to activate it in the source system. This can usually be done through transaction codes like RSA6 or RSA5.
  Check for Notes and Updates: Look for SAP Notes or updates related to the specific DataSource and extractor. There may be patches or updates that address this issue.
