• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAOLTP601 - DataSource &1 For Source System &2 Is Incorrect ?

  The SAP error message RSAOLTP601 indicates that there is an issue with a DataSource in the context of an OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) system. Specifically, it suggests that the DataSource specified is incorrect for the source system mentioned. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to extract data from an OLTP system.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect DataSource Name: The DataSource name specified in the extraction process may not exist or may be misspelled.
  Source System Configuration: The source system may not be properly configured in the SAP BW system. This includes issues with the RFC connection or the source system not being recognized.
  DataSource Not Activated: The DataSource may not be activated in the source system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the DataSource.
  Version Mismatch: There may be a version mismatch between the DataSource in the source system and the one expected by the BW system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify DataSource Name: Check the DataSource name in the extraction process to ensure it is correct and exists in the source system.
  Check Source System 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 the RFC connection is functioning properly.
  
  
  Activate DataSource: If the DataSource is not activated, activate it in the source system using transaction RSA5 or RSA6.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the extraction has the necessary authorizations to access the DataSource.
  Check for Version Compatibility: Ensure that the DataSource in the source system is compatible with the version expected by the BW system. If there are discrepancies, you may need to update or adjust the DataSource.
