• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR671 - Source system release &1 is not the same as local information &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSAR671 indicates a mismatch between the source system release and the local information in the SAP system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to extract data from a source system, such as an SAP ERP system.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the version of the source system (the system from which data is being extracted) does not match the version that the SAP BW system expects. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Version Mismatch: The source system has been upgraded or patched, and the BW system has not been updated accordingly.
  Incorrect Configuration: The source system configuration in the BW system may not be set up correctly, leading to discrepancies in expected versions.
  Transport Issues: If there were recent transports that did not include the correct version information or if the transport was not executed properly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSAR671 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Source System Version:
  
  Go to the source system and check its version. You can do this by using transaction code SLICENSE or by checking the system information in the SAP GUI.
  
  
  
  Check BW System Configuration:
  
  In the BW system, navigate to the source system settings (transaction code RSA1 -> "Source Systems" -> select your source system).
  Verify that the version information matches the source system. If it does not, you may need to update the source system configuration.
  
  
  
  Update Source System:
  
  If the source system has been upgraded, ensure that the BW system is also updated to the same version. This may involve applying support packages or patches to the BW system.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure the Source System:
  
  If necessary, you can delete and reconfigure the source system in the BW system. This can be done by removing the existing source system and then adding it again, ensuring that the correct version is captured.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly. You may need to re-transport or adjust the transport.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently releases notes that provide solutions or workarounds for known issues.
