• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSOH030 - DataSource &1 &2 is 3.x and cannot be used ?

  The SAP error message RSOH030 indicates that the DataSource you are trying to use is of the 3.x format, which is not compatible with the current context or system settings. This error typically arises when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) and can occur during data extraction or when trying to load data into InfoProviders.
  Cause:
  
  DataSource Format: The DataSource is in the older 3.x format, which is not supported in the context you are trying to use it (e.g., in a 7.x environment).
  Compatibility Issues: The system may be configured to only accept DataSources in the newer format (7.x).
  Incorrect Configuration: The DataSource may not have been properly converted or updated to the newer format.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Convert the DataSource: If you need to use the DataSource, you may need to convert it from the 3.x format to the 7.x format. This can typically be done using the transaction code RSA6 (for DataSource management) or RSDS (for DataSource definition).
  
  In RSA6, you can check the status of the DataSource and see if it needs to be converted.
  If it is a standard DataSource, you may need to use the transaction RSDS to create a new DataSource based on the existing one but in the 7.x format.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP BW system is up to date with the latest support packages and notes, as there may be fixes or enhancements related to DataSource compatibility.
  
  
  Use Alternative DataSources: If the DataSource is not critical, consider using an alternative DataSource that is already in the 7.x format.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to DataSource conversion and compatibility to ensure you are following the correct procedures.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to DataSource conversion and compatibility issues. These notes often provide specific guidance and troubleshooting steps.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  Training and Documentation: Familiarize yourself with the differences between 3.x and 7.x DataSources, as well as the implications for data modeling and extraction processes in SAP BW.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSOH030 error and successfully work with your DataSource.
