  Cause:
  
  DataSource Not Created: The DataSource you are trying to access has not been created in the source system.

  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user account being used for the extraction has the necessary authorizations to access the DataSource.
  
  
  
  Check Source System Configuration:
