  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRFAC_IMPL014 - Refactoring of redefined methods is currently not supported ?

    The SAP error message SRFAC_IMPL014 indicates that there is an issue with the refactoring of redefined methods in your ABAP code. This typically occurs when you are trying to refactor a method that has been redefined in a subclass, and the system does not support this operation due to the complexity or the nature of the redefinition.

    Cause:

    1. Redefined Methods: The error arises when you attempt to refactor a method that has been overridden in a subclass. The ABAP environment does not support refactoring operations on such methods because it can lead to inconsistencies or unexpected behavior in the subclass implementations.
    2. Inheritance Hierarchy: If the method you are trying to refactor is part of an inheritance hierarchy, the system may not be able to determine how to apply the refactoring changes across all subclasses.
    3. Complexity of Changes: The specific changes you are trying to make may involve structural changes that are not supported for methods that have been redefined.

    Solution:

    1. Manual Refactoring: Instead of using automated refactoring tools, manually refactor the method. This involves:
      • Identifying the method in the superclass and its redefined versions in subclasses.
      • Making the necessary changes in the superclass and then updating the subclasses accordingly.
    2. Check Inheritance: Review the inheritance structure of your classes. If the method is redefined in multiple subclasses, ensure that any changes you make in the superclass are compatible with all subclasses.
    3. Simplify Changes: If possible, simplify the changes you are trying to make. Avoid complex refactoring that involves multiple levels of inheritance.
    4. Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or community forums for any specific guidelines or best practices related to refactoring methods in ABAP.

    Related Information:

    • ABAP Development Tools: Familiarize yourself with the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse, which provide features for refactoring but may have limitations with certain operations.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context on limitations with method refactoring.
    • Community Forums: Engage with the SAP community forums or Stack Overflow for insights from other developers who may have encountered and resolved similar issues.

    By following these steps, you should be able to address the SRFAC_IMPL014 error and successfully refactor your ABAP methods.
