• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EBW006 - DataSource &1 only supports a simultaneously connected BW system ?

  The SAP error message EBW006 indicates that the DataSource you are trying to use is configured to only support a simultaneously connected BW (Business Warehouse) system. This typically occurs when there is an issue with the connection between the source system and the BW system, or when the DataSource is not set up correctly for the intended use.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The DataSource may not be properly configured to allow connections from the BW system.
  Connection Issues: There may be issues with the connection settings between the source system and the BW system.
  DataSource Type: The DataSource might be of a type that only supports certain types of connections or configurations.
  Simultaneous Connections: The DataSource is designed to work only with a BW system that is connected simultaneously, which may not be the case in your setup.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DataSource Configuration:
  
  Go to the DataSource in the source system and verify its settings. Ensure that it is configured to allow connections from the BW system.
  Check if the DataSource is set up for delta or full loads and ensure it matches your BW system's requirements.
  
  
  
  Verify Connection Settings:
  
  Ensure that the connection between the source system and the BW system is correctly set up. This includes checking the RFC (Remote Function Call) connections.
  Use transaction SM59 in the source system to check the RFC destination settings.
  
  
  
  Check for Simultaneous Connections:
  
  If the DataSource requires a simultaneous connection, ensure that the BW system is connected at the time of data extraction.
  You may need to adjust the settings in the BW system to allow for this type of connection.
