• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BWOM2002 - System could not find time stamp in BWOM2_TIMEST table for DataSource &1 ?

  The SAP error message BWOM2002 indicates that the system could not find a timestamp in the BWOM2_TIMEST table for a specific DataSource. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to load or process data from a DataSource.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Timestamp Entry: The most common cause of this error is that there is no corresponding entry in the BWOM2_TIMEST table for the specified DataSource. This table is used to store timestamps for data extraction processes.
  Incorrect DataSource Configuration: The DataSource may not be properly configured or activated in the BW system.
  DataSource Deletion or Inactivation: The DataSource might have been deleted or inactivated, leading to the absence of the required timestamp.
  Transport Issues: If the DataSource was transported from another system, there might have been issues during the transport process that led to missing entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the BWOM2_TIMEST Table: Use transaction SE11 or SE16 to check the BWOM2_TIMEST table for entries related to the DataSource in question. If there are no entries, you may need to create them.
  Re-activate the DataSource: Go to the DataSource in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and try to re-activate it. This can sometimes regenerate the necessary entries in the BWOM2_TIMEST table.
  Check DataSource Settings: Ensure that the DataSource is correctly configured and that all necessary settings are in place. This includes checking the extraction method and ensuring that it is compatible with the BW system.
  Transport Check: If the DataSource was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors or issues that may have occurred during the transport process.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific DataSource and the BWOM2002 error for any additional troubleshooting steps or known issues.
