• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAOLTP014 - Source system "&" is not an SAP source system ==> no metadata upload ?

  The SAP error message RSAOLTP014 indicates that the source system you are trying to connect to is not recognized as an SAP source system. This typically occurs during the process of metadata upload in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when the system is attempting to retrieve metadata from a source system that is not configured correctly or is not an SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Non-SAP Source System: The source system you are trying to connect to is not an SAP system (e.g., it could be a flat file, a third-party database, etc.).
  Incorrect Configuration: The source system may not be configured properly in the SAP BW system. This could include missing or incorrect settings in the source system configuration.
  Missing RFC Connection: There may be an issue with the Remote Function Call (RFC) connection to the source system, which is necessary for communication between SAP BW and the source system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the source system or perform the metadata upload.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Source System Type: Ensure that the source system you are trying to connect to is indeed an SAP source system. If it is not, you may need to use a different method to extract data (e.g., using a data extraction tool or custom program).
  Check 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 is correctly defined and that all necessary parameters are set.
  
  
  Check RFC Connection:
  
  Use transaction SM59 to check the RFC connection to the source system. Ensure that the connection is active and that you can successfully test the connection.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user performing the metadata upload has the necessary authorizations to access the source system and perform the required actions.
  Consult Documentation: If you are using a non-SAP source system, refer to the relevant SAP documentation for guidance on how to connect and extract data from that system.
