• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMCA_ISR_EN471 - Name of DataSource &1 should not begin with 0; see long text ?

  The SAP error message FMCA_ISR_EN471 indicates that there is an issue with the naming convention of a DataSource in the system. Specifically, the error states that the name of the DataSource should not begin with the character '0'. This is a validation rule in SAP to ensure that DataSource names follow the correct format.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the DataSource you are trying to create or modify has a name that starts with '0'. In SAP, certain naming conventions are enforced to avoid conflicts and ensure consistency. Names that start with '0' are typically reserved or not allowed for certain objects.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to rename the DataSource so that it does not start with '0'. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Identify the DataSource: Determine which DataSource is causing the error. This will usually be indicated in the error message itself (the placeholder &1 will be replaced with the actual DataSource name).
  
  
  Rename the DataSource:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing).
  Locate the DataSource in question.
  Change the name of the DataSource to ensure it does not start with '0'. For example, if the DataSource is named '0XYZ', you could rename it to '1XYZ' or 'XYZ'.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After renaming, save your changes and check if the error persists.
  
  
  Test the DataSource: Once renamed, test the DataSource to ensure it functions correctly without any further errors.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Naming Conventions: Familiarize yourself with SAP's naming conventions for various objects, including DataSources, InfoObjects, and other components. This can help prevent similar errors in the future.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more details on DataSource creation and naming rules.
  Support: If you continue to experience issues or if renaming does not resolve the problem, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP Community for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FMCA_ISR_EN471 error and successfully manage your DataSource in SAP.
