• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR647 - Message type & for source system & deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSAR647 typically indicates an issue related to the data transfer between SAP systems, particularly when dealing with the extraction of data from a source system that has been deleted or is no longer available. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Data Warehousing scenarios.
  Cause:
  The error message RSAR647 usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Deleted Source System: The source system from which data is being extracted has been deleted or is not properly configured in the SAP BW system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The source system might still be referenced in the data transfer process, but the configuration is incorrect or incomplete.
  Transport Issues: If the source system was recently transported or modified, it may not be correctly set up in the target system.
  Network Issues: There could be connectivity issues between the SAP BW system and the source system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSAR647 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  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 active.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Reactivate Source System:
  
  If the source system has been deleted, you may need to recreate it. This can be done using transaction RSA1 and selecting the option to create a new source system.
  If the source system is still present but inactive, try to reactivate it.
  
  
  
  Update Data Transfer Processes (DTP):
  
  Check any Data Transfer Processes (DTPs) that reference the deleted source system. You may need to update or delete these DTPs to remove references to the non-existent source system.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all necessary objects related to the source system were included in the transport request.
  
  
  
  Network Connectivity:
  
  Verify that there are no network issues preventing communication between the SAP BW system and the source system.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs:
  
  Check the system logs and error logs for more detailed information about the error. This can provide additional context for troubleshooting.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 for data warehousing, RSC3 for monitoring data loads, and RSMO for monitoring process chains.
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to RSAR647 for any specific patches or updates that may address known issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on data extraction and source system configuration for best practices and troubleshooting tips.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the underlying issue causing the RSAR647 error message in your SAP environment.
