• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDS233 - File ending &1 does not match current adapter &2; Ending &3 expected ?

  The SAP error message RSDS233 indicates a mismatch between the file ending (or file format) of the data source and the expected format defined in the DataSource configuration. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Data Services or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to load data from a file.
  Cause:
  The error message RSDS233 is triggered when:
  
  The file you are trying to load has a different ending (file extension) than what is configured in the DataSource.
  The DataSource is expecting a specific file type (e.g., .csv, .txt) but the file provided has a different extension.
  There may be a configuration issue in the DataSource settings where the expected file type does not match the actual file type being processed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDS233 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the File Extension:
  
  Verify the file you are trying to load. Ensure that the file extension matches the expected format defined in the DataSource configuration.
  
  
  
  Review DataSource Configuration:
  
  Go to the DataSource settings in SAP BW or Data Services and check the configuration for the expected file type.
  Ensure that the file type specified in the DataSource matches the actual file you are trying to load.
  
  
  
  Rename the File:
  
  If the file extension is incorrect, you can rename the file to match the expected extension.
  
  
  
  Adjust DataSource Settings:
  
  If the file type is correct but the DataSource is configured incorrectly, you may need to adjust the DataSource settings to accept the file type you are using.
  
  
  
  Check for Additional Settings:
  
  Sometimes, there may be additional settings or parameters in the DataSource that need to be configured to accept different file types. Review the documentation for your specific SAP version for any such requirements.
  
  
  
  Test with a Sample File:
  
  If possible, create a sample file with the correct format and try loading it to see if the error persists.
