• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAOLTP036 - Source system &: remote activation of DataSources not possible ?

  The SAP error message RSAOLTP036 indicates that there is an issue with the remote activation of DataSources in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) and SAP ERP systems. This error typically arises when there is a problem with the connection between the source system (like SAP ERP) and the BW system, or when the DataSource is not properly configured for remote activation.
  Cause:
  
  
  Connection Issues: There may be a problem with the RFC (Remote Function Call) connection between the source system and the BW system. This could be due to network issues, incorrect configuration, or authorization problems.
  
  
  DataSource Configuration: The DataSource may not be properly configured for remote activation. This can happen if the DataSource is not set up correctly in the source system or if it is not activated.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the activation may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the remote activation.
  
  
  Technical Settings: The technical settings of the DataSource may not be compatible with remote activation.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Connection: 
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the source system and check the RFC connection to the BW system. Ensure that the connection is working properly and that there are no errors.
  
  
  
  Verify DataSource Configuration:
  
  In the source system, go to transaction RSA1 and check the DataSource configuration. Ensure that the DataSource is activated and that all necessary settings are correct.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the activation has the necessary authorizations in both the source and BW systems. This includes authorizations for the DataSource and for remote activation.
  
  
  
  Review Technical Settings:
  
  Check the technical settings of the DataSource to ensure that it is set up for remote activation. This includes checking the extraction method and ensuring that it is compatible with the BW system.
  
  
  
  Manual Activation:
  
  If remote activation fails, consider manually activating the DataSource in the BW system. You can do this by going to transaction RSA1 in the BW system and activating the DataSource directly.
  
  
  
  Check Logs:
  
  Review the logs for any additional error messages that may provide more context on the issue. You can check the application logs in transaction SLG1 for more details.
