• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSB4HANA093 - DataSource &1 must be changed to CDS-ODP; &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSB4HANA093 indicates that a DataSource must be changed to use the CDS (Core Data Services) ODP (Operational Data Provisioning) model. This error typically arises when you are trying to use a DataSource that is not compatible with the current requirements for data extraction in SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW on HANA environments.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the DataSource you are trying to use is based on an older model that does not support the new CDS-ODP framework. SAP has been transitioning to CDS views for data extraction, which provide better performance and more advanced features compared to traditional DataSources.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to convert the DataSource to a CDS-ODP DataSource. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify the DataSource: Note the DataSource name indicated in the error message (represented as &1).
  
  
  Check for Existing CDS View: Verify if there is an existing CDS view that corresponds to the DataSource. You can do this by searching in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) or using the Eclipse-based ABAP Development Tools.
  
  
  Create a New CDS View: If a suitable CDS view does not exist, you may need to create a new one. This involves:
  
  Defining the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools.
  Ensuring that the view includes the necessary fields and joins to replicate the data structure of the original DataSource.
  
  
  
  Register the CDS View as an ODP DataSource: Once the CDS view is created, you need to register it as an ODP DataSource. This can be done using transaction RSODP or through the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  Adjust Data Flow: Update any data flows or transformations that were using the old DataSource to now use the new CDS-ODP DataSource.
  
  
  Test the Data Extraction: After making the changes, test the data extraction to ensure that it works as expected without errors.

  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSB4HANA093 error and successfully transition to using CDS-ODP DataSources in your SAP environment.
