• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBK140 - Extraction directly from DataSource not supported ?

  The SAP error message RSBK140 indicates that extraction directly from a DataSource is not supported. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to extract data from a source system using a DataSource that is not configured for direct extraction.
  Cause:
  
  DataSource Configuration: The DataSource may not be set up for direct extraction. Some DataSources are designed to work only with specific extraction methods (like delta or full loads) and may not support direct extraction.
  Source System Limitations: The source system (like SAP ERP) may not allow direct extraction for certain types of data or may require specific settings to enable it.
  DataSource Type: The DataSource type may not be compatible with direct extraction. For example, some DataSources are designed for flat file extraction or other methods rather than direct extraction.
  Missing Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform direct extraction from the DataSource.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DataSource Configuration: Verify the configuration of the DataSource in the SAP BW system. Ensure that it is set up for direct extraction if that is the intended method.
  
  Go to the DataSource in the SAP BW system and check the settings.
  Ensure that the DataSource is marked as "Direct Access" if applicable.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Extraction Methods: If direct extraction is not supported, consider using other extraction methods such as:
  
  Delta Load: If the DataSource supports delta extraction, use that method instead.
  Full Load: Perform a full load if the DataSource allows it.
  
  
  
  Check Source System Settings: Ensure that the source system is configured correctly to allow for the type of extraction you are attempting. This may involve checking settings in the source system or consulting with the basis team.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the extraction has the necessary authorizations to access the DataSource and perform the extraction.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific DataSource you are working with to understand its capabilities and limitations.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates regarding the specific DataSource or extraction method.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if others have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  BW/4HANA Considerations: If you are using BW/4HANA, be aware that some DataSources may have different capabilities compared to traditional BW systems.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the RSBK140 error and successfully extract data from the desired DataSource.
