  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH463 indicates that a BW (Business Warehouse) object, such as a query or a data source, is inactive. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to access or execute a BW object that has not been activated or is in an inactive state.
  Cause:
  
  Object Inactivity: The BW object (e.g., InfoProvider, Query, or DataSource) has not been activated after its creation or modification.
  Transport Issues: The object may have been transported from one system to another without being activated in the target system.
  Development and Production Environment: The object may exist in the development environment but not in the production environment, leading to access issues.

  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the BW object. Sometimes, the error may also relate to authorization issues rather than the object's state.

  If the object has dependencies (like InfoObjects or other BW objects), ensure that all related objects are also active.
