• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_PSA_DEL027 - Referenced DataSources of process variants are not adjusted ?

  The SAP error message RS_PSA_DEL027 indicates that there are inconsistencies between the DataSources referenced in a process variant and the actual DataSources available in the system. This typically occurs in the context of data extraction processes, particularly when using SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA.
  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Deleted or Inactive DataSources: The DataSources that are referenced in the process variant may have been deleted or set to inactive.
  Changes in DataSource Structure: If the structure of a DataSource has changed (e.g., fields added or removed), the process variant may not be able to reference it correctly.
  Transport Issues: If the process variant was transported from one system to another, there may be discrepancies in the DataSource definitions between the systems.
  Manual Changes: Manual changes to the DataSource or process variant that were not properly synchronized can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS_PSA_DEL027 error, you can follow these steps:
