• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR262 - Source system & deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSAR262 indicates that a source system has been deleted or is no longer available in the SAP system landscape. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to access data from a source system that has been removed or is not properly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Source System Deletion: The source system has been deleted from the SAP BW system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The source system may not be correctly configured or may have connection issues.
  Transport Issues: If the source system was transported from another environment, there may have been issues during the transport process.
  Network Issues: There could be network connectivity problems preventing access to the source system.
  
  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).
  Ensure that the source system is still listed and properly configured.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Source System:
  
  If the source system has been deleted and you need it, you may need to recreate it. This can be done in the Data Warehousing Workbench under the "Source Systems" section.
  
  
  
  Check Connection Settings:
  
  Verify the connection settings for the source system. Ensure that the connection parameters (like RFC destination) are correct and that the source system is reachable.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the source system was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors. You may need to re-transport the source system configuration.
  
  
  
  Network Connectivity:
  
  Ensure that there are no network issues preventing access to the source system. You can test the connection using transaction SM59 (RFC Destinations).
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the source system.
