  The SAP error message RSAR237 typically indicates that there is an issue with the communication structure for an InfoSource in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). This error usually arises when the system cannot find the specified InfoSource or its associated communication structure.
  Cause:
  
  Missing InfoSource: The specified InfoSource does not exist in the system.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoSource Existence:
