Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_B4HANA_RC060 - SAPI DataSource Extraction not supported. Remodel in BW/4 using CDS-ODP. ?

  The SAP error message RS_B4HANA_RC060 indicates that the extraction of data from a SAPI (SAP Application Programming Interface) DataSource is not supported in the context of BW/4HANA. Instead, it suggests that you should remodel your data extraction using Core Data Services (CDS) and ODP (Operational Data Provisioning).
  Cause:
  
  SAPI DataSource Limitation: BW/4HANA does not support traditional SAPI DataSources, which were commonly used in earlier versions of SAP BW. The architecture of BW/4HANA is designed to leverage modern data modeling techniques, primarily using CDS views.
  Transition to CDS: SAP has moved towards using CDS views for data extraction, which provide a more flexible and efficient way to model and access data in HANA.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the DataSource: Determine which SAPI DataSource you are trying to use and understand its purpose in your data model.
  
  
  Create a CDS View: 
  
  Use the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse to create a new CDS view that replicates the logic of the original SAPI DataSource.
  Ensure that the CDS view is designed to meet the requirements of your reporting or data extraction needs.
  
  
  
  Expose the CDS View via ODP:
  
  Once the CDS view is created, you need to expose it for data extraction using ODP.
  This can be done by creating an ODP DataSource based on the CDS view. You can do this in the SAP BW/4HANA system.
  
  
  
  Data Modeling in BW/4HANA:
  
  Use the ODP DataSource in your BW/4HANA data models (e.g., InfoObjects, DataStore Objects, CompositeProviders).
  Ensure that the data flow is correctly set up to extract data from the ODP DataSource.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  Test the new data extraction process to ensure that it works as expected and that the data is accurate.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation on BW/4HANA and CDS views for detailed guidance on creating and managing CDS views and ODP DataSources.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates regarding the transition from SAPI to CDS in BW/4HANA.
  Community Forums: Engage with the SAP Community or forums for discussions and solutions shared by other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to successfully transition from using a SAPI DataSource to a CDS-based approach in BW/4HANA, thereby resolving the RS_B4HANA_RC060 error.
