• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBK071 - You cannot copy remote DTPs into a process chain ?

  The SAP error message RSBK071 indicates that you cannot copy remote Data Transfer Processes (DTPs) into a process chain. This error typically arises when you attempt to include a DTP that is configured to pull data from a remote source (such as a different SAP system or a different client) into a process chain.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that remote DTPs are not supported for direct inclusion in process chains. This limitation exists because remote DTPs involve data transfer from a source system that is not local to the process chain's execution context, which can lead to complications in managing the data flow and dependencies.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Use Local DTPs: If possible, replace the remote DTP with a local DTP that pulls data from the same system where the process chain is executed. This will allow you to include the DTP in the process chain without encountering the error.
  
  
  Separate Process Chains: If you need to work with remote DTPs, consider creating a separate process chain that handles the remote data transfer. You can then schedule this process chain to run before or after the main process chain that requires the data.
  
  
  Data Staging: If the data from the remote DTP is needed for further processing, you might want to stage the data in a local InfoProvider (like a DataStore Object) first. After the data is loaded into the local InfoProvider, you can then use a local DTP to process the data within your main process chain.
  
  
  Manual Execution: If the remote DTP is not frequently used, you might consider executing it manually outside of the process chain and then running the process chain that depends on the data afterward.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Process Chains: Process chains in SAP BW are used to automate data loading and processing tasks. They consist of various steps, including DTPs, InfoPackages, and other process steps.
  DTP Types: Understand the difference between local and remote DTPs. Local DTPs operate within the same SAP system, while remote DTPs pull data from external systems.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or updates regarding the handling of remote DTPs in process chains.
  
  By following these solutions, you should be able to work around the limitations imposed by the RSBK071 error and effectively manage your data transfer processes within SAP BW.
