  The SAP error message RSAR738 indicates that a transfer structure has been deactivated in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) data transfer processes. This typically occurs when there are issues with the data transfer structure that prevent data from being transferred correctly from the source system to the BW system.
  Cause:
  
  Deactivation of Transfer Structure: The transfer structure may have been manually deactivated by a user or due to system changes.
