• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPXN035 - Source method not set within mapping ?

  The SAP error message SPXN035 "Source method not set within mapping" typically occurs in the context of SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO) when there is an issue with the mapping configuration in your integration scenario. This error indicates that the source method for the mapping is not defined or is incorrectly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Source Method: The mapping configuration does not specify a source method, which is required for the mapping to know where to pull data from.
  Incorrect Mapping Configuration: The mapping might be incorrectly set up, leading to the system not being able to identify the source method.
  Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of the mapping or if the mapping has been changed but not activated, it can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the mapping was transported from one system to another, it might not have been properly configured in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Mapping Configuration:
  
  Go to the mapping configuration in the Integration Directory.
  Ensure that the source method is correctly defined and is pointing to the right source structure.

  Review the Interface Mapping:
  
  Check the interface mapping to ensure that the source and target interfaces are correctly defined and that the mapping is correctly assigned to the integration flow.
  
  
  
  Check for Version Conflicts:
  
  If there are multiple versions of the mapping, ensure that the correct version is being used in the integration flow.
  
  
  
  Transport Configuration:
  
  If the mapping was transported, verify that all necessary objects and configurations were included in the transport request.
