• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR654 - Meta data for InfoSource & (&) of source system & updated ?

  The SAP error message RSAR654 indicates that there is an issue with the metadata for an InfoSource in the context of data extraction from a source system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is a problem with the InfoSource configuration or the underlying data source.
  Cause:
  
  Metadata Update Issues: The metadata for the InfoSource may not have been updated correctly after changes were made to the source system or the InfoSource itself.
  Source System Connectivity: There may be connectivity issues between the SAP BW system and the source system, preventing the metadata from being retrieved or updated.
  DataSource Changes: If the DataSource associated with the InfoSource has been modified (e.g., fields added or removed), the InfoSource metadata may need to be refreshed.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoSource was transported from one system to another, the metadata may not have been transported correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Update Metadata: 
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  Navigate to the InfoSource in question and try to update the metadata manually.
  You can do this by right-clicking on the InfoSource and selecting "Update Metadata."
  
  
  
  Check Source System Connection:

  You can check this in transaction SM59 by testing the connection to the source system.
  
  
  
  Re-activate InfoSource:
  
  Sometimes, reactivating the InfoSource can resolve the issue. You can do this in RSA1 by selecting the InfoSource and choosing the option to activate it.
