• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KTD_CONSIST_CHECK012 - Referenced Object &1 &2 has different source system (&3) ?

  The SAP error message KTD_CONSIST_CHECK012 indicates that there is a consistency check failure related to a referenced object in the context of a source system. Specifically, the error message states that the referenced object (identified by &1 and &2) has a different source system than expected (identified by &3). This typically occurs in the context of data transfer or integration scenarios, such as when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP ECC (Enterprise Central Component).
  Cause:
  
  
  Source System Mismatch: The object you are trying to access or manipulate is linked to a different source system than the one you are currently working with. This can happen if:
  
  The object was created or modified in a different source system.
  There are inconsistencies in the configuration of the source systems.
  Data was incorrectly transported or replicated between systems.
  
  
  
  Data Replication Issues: If data is replicated from one system to another, and there are discrepancies in the source system settings, this error can occur.
  
  
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration in the source system settings or in the data model can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Source System Configuration: Check the configuration of the source systems involved. Ensure that the source system settings are correctly defined and that the object in question is indeed supposed to be linked to the current source system.
  
  
  Check Object Metadata: Look at the metadata of the object (e.g., InfoObjects, DataSources) to confirm which source system it is associated with. You can do this through transaction codes like RSA1 (for BW) or SE11 (for Data Dictionary).
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks in the relevant system to identify any discrepancies. In BW, you can use transaction codes like RSA1 to check the consistency of InfoProviders and DataSources.
  
  
  Transport Requests: If the object was transported from one system to another, ensure that the transport request was completed successfully and that all dependencies were included.
  
  
  Recreate or Adjust the Object: If necessary, you may need to recreate the object in the correct source system or adjust its settings to align with the current source system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to this error message for additional guidance and troubleshooting steps.
