• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CLBW020 - Generation is only possible for DataSources of the system client ?

  The SAP error message CLBW020 indicates that the generation of a DataSource is only possible for DataSources that belong to the system client. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to generate a DataSource that is not properly configured or is not in the correct client.
  Cause:
  
  Client-Specific DataSource: The DataSource you are trying to generate is not defined in the current client. In SAP, DataSources are often client-specific, meaning they are only valid within the context of a particular client.
  Cross-Client Configuration: You may be attempting to generate a DataSource that is defined in a different client or is not activated in the current client.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing you from accessing or generating the DataSource in the current client.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Client Settings: Ensure that you are logged into the correct client where the DataSource is defined. You can check the client number in the SAP GUI.
  DataSource Activation: If the DataSource is defined in a different client, you may need to transport it to the current client or activate it in the current client.
  Recreate DataSource: If the DataSource is not available in the current client, consider recreating it in the correct client.
  Authorization Check: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to generate DataSources in the current client. You may need to consult with your SAP security team if you suspect authorization issues.
  Use Transaction Code: Use transaction code RSA1 to access the Data Warehousing Workbench and check the DataSource configuration.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSC1 (Create DataSource), and RSC2 (Change DataSource).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on DataSource creation and management for best practices and guidelines.
