• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDS002 - Interface &1 not implemented by method &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSDS002 indicates that there is an issue with a DataSource interface that has not been implemented correctly. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when trying to extract data from a source system.
  Cause:
  The error message RSDS002 Interface &1 not implemented by method &2 usually occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing Implementation: The DataSource you are trying to use is not fully implemented for the extraction method you are attempting to use. This could happen if the DataSource is custom or if it has not been properly configured.
  
  
  Incorrect DataSource Configuration: The DataSource may not be set up correctly in the SAP system, leading to the interface not being recognized.
  
  
  Version Mismatch: There may be a version mismatch between the DataSource and the extraction method being used.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the DataSource was transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to missing implementations.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDS002 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check DataSource Implementation:
  
  Go to the DataSource in the SAP BW system (transaction code RSA1).
  Verify that the DataSource is implemented correctly. You can check the extraction method and ensure that it is compatible with the DataSource.
  
  
  
  Re-implement the DataSource:
  
  If the DataSource is custom, you may need to implement the required methods in the ABAP code. This involves creating or modifying the DataSource to ensure that it implements the necessary interfaces.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings of the DataSource. Ensure that all required fields and settings are correctly filled out.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the DataSource was transported from another system, ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request. You may need to re-transport the DataSource or manually implement any missing components.
