• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR437 - Non-referencing mapping for data source & source system & deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSAR437 indicates that there is a non-referencing mapping for a data source in a source system that has been deleted. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there are inconsistencies in the data source mappings or when a data source is no longer available.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Data Source: The data source in the source system has been deleted or is no longer available.
  Mapping Issues: There may be mappings in the BW system that reference the deleted data source, leading to inconsistencies.
  Transport Issues: If the data source was transported from one system to another, it may not have been properly configured in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSAR437 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Data Source:
  
  Verify if the data source mentioned in the error message exists in the source system. If it has been deleted, you will need to either restore it or update the mappings in BW.
  
  
  
  Update Mappings:
  
  If the data source is no longer needed, you should remove or update any mappings in BW that reference this data source. This can be done in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  
  
  
  Recreate Data Source:
  
  If the data source is required, you may need to recreate it in the source system and ensure that it is properly configured.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport requests to ensure that all necessary objects were included and correctly configured in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  Perform a consistency check in the BW system to identify any other potential issues related to data sources and mappings. You can use transaction RSA1 and navigate to the relevant areas to perform checks.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific data source and the error message for any additional guidance or known issues.
