  The SAP error message RSB4HANA196 typically occurs in the context of process chains in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the execution of a process chain. This error can arise due to various reasons, such as data loading issues, configuration problems, or issues with the underlying data sources.
  Cause:
  
  Data Load Issues: The error may occur if there are problems with the data being loaded into the data targets, such as missing data or incorrect data formats.
  Process Chain Configuration: There may be misconfigurations in the process chain itself, such as incorrect settings for the data flow or dependencies between processes.
