• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBK090 - Source object type for DTP &1 cannot be changed ?

  The SAP error message RSBK090 indicates that there is an issue with the Data Transfer Process (DTP) configuration in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). Specifically, it means that the source object type for the DTP cannot be changed. This typically occurs when you attempt to modify the source object type of a DTP that is already in use or has certain dependencies.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Dependencies: The DTP may have existing dependencies or is linked to other objects (like InfoProviders, transformations, etc.) that prevent changes to its source object type.
  Incorrect Configuration: The DTP might have been incorrectly configured, or you might be trying to change the source object type in a way that is not allowed by the system.

  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the DTP and check for any dependencies or linked objects. You may need to deactivate or adjust these dependencies before changing the source object type.
  Deactivate DTP: If possible, deactivate the DTP before attempting to change the source object type. After making the changes, you can reactivate it.
  Create a New DTP: If changing the source object type is not feasible, consider creating a new DTP with the desired source object type instead of modifying the existing one.
  Review Documentation: Consult SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on DTP configurations and limitations.
  Transport Requests: If the DTP is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is not locked or in a state that prevents changes.
