• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_B4HANA_TRANSFER077 - Source systen &1 has the wrong type (&2 instead of &3) ?

  The SAP error message RS_B4HANA_TRANSFER077 indicates that there is a mismatch in the expected type of the source system in a data transfer process. Specifically, the error message states that the source system &1 has the wrong type &2 instead of the expected type &3. This typically occurs in the context of data extraction or data transfer from a source system to SAP BW/4HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Source System Configuration: The source system may not be configured correctly in the SAP BW system. For example, if the source system is expected to be a certain type (like an SAP ERP system) but is configured as a different type (like a flat file or a non-SAP system), this error will occur.
  Data Source Type Mismatch: The data source being used may not match the expected type for the source system. For instance, if the data source is set up for an SAP ERP system but the actual source is a different type, this error will be triggered.
  Transport Issues: If there have been recent changes or transports that affect the source system configuration, it may lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Source System Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP BW system and check the configuration of the source system in transaction RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Ensure that the source system type matches the expected type. If it is incorrect, you may need to adjust the configuration.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Source Settings:
  
  Check the data source settings in the BW system. Ensure that the data source is compatible with the type of source system you are using.
  If necessary, create a new data source that matches the source system type.
  
  
  
  Transport and Change Management:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, review the transport logs to identify any changes that may have affected the source system configuration.
  Revert any changes if necessary or reconfigure the source system as needed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific source system and data source types to ensure compliance with best practices.
