Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAODS106 - No DDIC-structure was specified when calling the RSAR_POPUP_GET_VALUES ?

  The SAP error message RSAODS106 indicates that there is an issue with the Data Dictionary (DDIC) structure when calling the function RSAR_POPUP_GET_VALUES. This function is typically used in the context of data extraction and reporting, particularly in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) environments.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system expects a Data Dictionary structure to be specified, but it is either missing or not correctly defined. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing or Incorrect Data Source Configuration: The data source may not be properly configured, leading to the absence of the required DDIC structure.
  Transport Issues: If the data source or related objects were transported from one system to another, the DDIC structure may not have been included or activated correctly.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the DDIC structure.
  Technical Issues: There may be a technical issue with the SAP system itself, such as inconsistencies in the data model.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSAODS106 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Data Source Configuration:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  Navigate to the relevant InfoSource or DataSource and ensure that it is correctly configured.
  Verify that the DataSource is active and that the DDIC structure is defined.
  
  
  
  Activate the DataSource:
  
  If the DataSource is inactive, activate it. This can sometimes resolve issues related to missing structures.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the DataSource was transported, ensure that all related objects, including the DDIC structure, were included in the transport request.
  Check if the transport was successful and if the objects are correctly activated in the target system.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the Data Dictionary and the specific DataSource.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the function module RSAR_POPUP_GET_VALUES to identify where the error is occurring.
  Check for any custom code or enhancements that might be affecting the standard behavior.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  
  System Check:
  
  Perform a system check to ensure there are no underlying issues with the SAP BW system that could be causing this error.
