Symptom
When adding source for a Replication Flow, if the source object has already being used in another Replication Flow, error happens:
"Source objects XXX are already being used in replication flows XXX"
Environment
- SAP Datasphere
Reproducing the Issue
- Add reused source objects to a Replication Flow
- Deploy the Replication Flow
Resolution
One source object can be reused in several replication flows starting from Datasphere Version 2025.11.
See: What's New in SAP Datasphere | SAP Help Portal
However the function has restrictions. You won't be able to deploy a replication flow that is reusing objects from:
- SAP HANA Cloud, data lake files
- ABAP SLT source. For ABAP SLT, one particular table can be reused up to 4 times in different mass transfer IDs. For more information, you can refer to KBA 3464320.
For SAP HANA Cloud data lake files or ABAP SLT source, please try to create a new Datasphere connection and use it in the Replication Flow with the new connection if you want to reuse a single source object.
