• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RS_B4H_TRANSFER_APD -

• Message number: 066

• Message text: No start variant found in process chain '&1'.

What causes this issue?

When BW data flow generated based on APD is added to already existing
process chain created by Transfer Toolbox it is expected that the start

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_B4H_TRANSFER_APD066 - No start variant found in process chain '&1'. ?

  The SAP error message RS_B4H_TRANSFER_APD066 No start variant found in process chain '&1' typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a process chain is executed, and it cannot find a valid start variant for the specified process chain. This can happen for several reasons, and here are some potential causes, solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  Missing Start Variant: The process chain is configured to use a specific start variant that does not exist or has been deleted.
  Incorrect Configuration: The process chain may not be properly configured to include a valid start variant.
  Transport Issues: If the process chain was transported from one system to another, the start variant may not have been included in the transport.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the process chain may not have the necessary authorizations to access the start variant.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Process Chain Configuration:
  
  Go to the process chain in the SAP BW system and check the configuration for the start variant. Ensure that a valid start variant is assigned.
  If the start variant is missing, you may need to create a new one or assign an existing one.
  
  
  
  Create or Assign a Start Variant:
  
  If you need to create a new start variant, navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., RSA1) and create a new variant that meets the requirements of the process chain.
  Assign this new variant to the process chain.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the process chain was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects, including the start variant, were included in the transport request.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user executing the process chain has the necessary authorizations to access the start variant. You may need to consult with your security team to ensure proper roles and authorizations are assigned.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the process chain execution again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to manage process chains and variants.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on process chains and variants in SAP BW.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to process chains and variants.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a BW expert for further assistance.
