• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDS096 - DataSource &1(&2) replicated ?

  The SAP error message RSDS096 indicates that a DataSource has already been replicated in the system. This typically occurs when you attempt to replicate a DataSource that has already been processed, leading to a conflict.
  Cause:
  The error message RSDS096 is triggered when:
  
  You try to replicate a DataSource that is already present in the system.
  There may be an inconsistency in the metadata or configuration of the DataSource.
  The DataSource might have been replicated previously, but the replication process was not completed successfully.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDS096 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing DataSource:

  Delete or Adjust the DataSource:
  
  If the DataSource is not needed, you can delete it from the system.
  If you need to make changes, you can adjust the existing DataSource instead of replicating it again.
  
  
  
  Re-Replicate if Necessary:
  
  If you need to replicate the DataSource again (for example, after making changes), ensure that you delete the existing DataSource first or adjust its settings as needed.
  
  
  
  Check for Inconsistencies:
  
  If you suspect that there are inconsistencies, you can use transaction code RSA2 to check the status of the DataSource and ensure that it is correctly configured.
