• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSB4HANA094 - DataSource &1 must be switched to BW-ODP; &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSB4HANA094 indicates that a specific DataSource must be switched to BW-ODP (Operational Data Provisioning) in order to be used in a BW/4HANA environment. This error typically arises when you are trying to use a DataSource that is not compatible with the BW-ODP framework, which is essential for data extraction in BW/4HANA.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the DataSource you are trying to use is still configured for the older extraction methods (like classic DataSources) and has not been migrated to the BW-ODP format. BW-ODP is a newer framework that allows for more efficient data extraction and is required for certain functionalities in BW/4HANA.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to switch the DataSource to BW-ODP. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the DataSource in SAP BW:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).
  Navigate to the DataSources section.
  
  
  
  Select the DataSource:
  
  Find the DataSource that is causing the error (indicated by &1 in the error message).
  
  
  
  Switch to BW-ODP:
  
  Right-click on the DataSource and look for an option to "Switch to ODP" or "Convert to ODP".
  Follow the prompts to complete the conversion process.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that any dependent objects (like InfoProviders or DataFlows) are also compatible with the BW-ODP DataSource.
  
  
  
  Test the DataSource:
  
  After switching, test the DataSource to ensure that it is functioning correctly and that data can be extracted as expected.
