This error indicates that the system could not find any source system that matches the criteria specified in your selection.

  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you entered may not match any existing source systems. This could be due to typos, incorrect values, or using the wrong fields for filtering.
  Source System Not Defined: The source system you are trying to access may not be defined in the SAP BW system. This could happen if the source system was not properly configured or if it has been deleted.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the query may not have the necessary authorizations to access the source system.
