  The SAP error message RSDS116 indicates that there is a conflict between two objects related to a DataSource in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). Specifically, it suggests that both an InfoSource (ISFS) and a DataSource (RSDS) exist concurrently for the same object, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  There is an attempt to activate or use a DataSource that has a corresponding InfoSource already defined in the system.
  The system does not allow both objects to coexist for the same data extraction process, leading to this conflict.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDS116 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Conflicting Objects:

  Delete or Deactivate the Unnecessary Object:
  
  If you decide to keep the DataSource, you can delete or deactivate the corresponding InfoSource.
  Conversely, if you need the InfoSource, you can delete or deactivate the DataSource.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Before deleting any object, ensure that there are no dependencies or processes relying on the object you plan to remove.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the DataSource:
  
  After resolving the conflict, try to re-activate the DataSource to ensure that it is functioning correctly.
