• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BW_BICS_INA016 - Response data copied to the clipboard ?

  The SAP error message BW_BICS_INA016, which states "Response data copied to the clipboard," typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) when using the BICS (Business Intelligence Consumer Services) interface. This message is not necessarily an error in the traditional sense but rather an informational message indicating that the response data from a query has been copied to the clipboard.
  Cause:
  
  Data Retrieval: This message usually appears when a user executes a query in SAP BW and the system successfully retrieves the data. The data is then copied to the clipboard for further use, such as pasting into another application (e.g., Excel).
  User Action: It may also occur if the user has explicitly requested to copy data to the clipboard, either through a specific action in the user interface or through a script or macro.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Intent: If the message appears unexpectedly, verify whether the user intended to copy the data. If not, it may be a result of an unintentional action.
  Data Handling: If the user needs to work with the data, they can simply paste it into the desired application (like Excel) to utilize the copied data.
  Suppressing the Message: If the message is disruptive, check if there are settings in the SAP GUI or the specific application being used that can suppress such informational messages.
  Review Query Design: If the message is part of a larger issue (e.g., performance problems or unexpected behavior), review the design of the BW query to ensure it is optimized for performance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches related to BICS or BW that might address specific issues or improve functionality.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP BW documentation for more details on how BICS works and how to manage data retrieval and clipboard operations.
  User Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups to see if others have encountered similar messages and how they resolved them.
  
  If the message is causing issues beyond being informational, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW administrator for further investigation.
