• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAOLTP402 - Source system & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message RSAOLTP402 indicates that the source system specified in the context of an SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) environment does not exist or cannot be found. This error typically arises when there is an issue with the configuration of the source system in the BW system.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Source System Name: The source system name specified in the data source or extraction process may be incorrect or misspelled.
  Source System Not Defined: The source system has not been defined in the BW system. This could happen if the source system was never created or if it was deleted.
  Connection Issues: There may be connectivity issues between the BW system and the source system, preventing the BW system from recognizing it.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the source system.
  Transport Issues: If the source system was recently transported from another environment, it may not have been properly configured in the target environment.
  
  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).
  Navigate to the "Source Systems" section and verify that the source system is listed and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Verify Source System Name:
  
  Ensure that the name of the source system used in the data source or extraction process matches exactly with the name defined in the BW system.
  
  
  
  Create or Reconfigure Source System:
  
  If the source system does not exist, create it using transaction RSA1 or RSC1 (for creating source systems).
  If it exists but is misconfigured, correct the configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Check Connectivity:
  
  Test the connection to the source system to ensure that it is reachable from the BW system. You can use transaction SM59 to check the RFC connections.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the data extraction has the necessary authorizations to access the source system.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the source system was transported, ensure that all necessary objects and configurations were included in the transport request.
