• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBK150 - DTP &1 source and/or target type cannot be changed via import (&2) ?

  The SAP error message RSBK150 indicates that there is an issue with the Data Transfer Process (DTP) configuration in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). Specifically, it means that the source and/or target type of the DTP cannot be changed through the import process. This typically occurs when you are trying to import a DTP configuration that has incompatible source or target types.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incompatible Source/Target Types: The source and target types defined in the DTP do not match the types that are being imported. For example, if the DTP is configured to pull data from an InfoSource and you are trying to import a DTP that is configured to pull from a different type of source (like a DataSource or a different InfoProvider), this error will occur.
  
  
  Version Mismatch: The DTP version you are trying to import may not be compatible with the version of the source or target InfoProvider.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If you are importing DTPs from a different system (like a development system to a production system), there may be inconsistencies in the underlying objects.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Compatibility: Verify that the source and target types of the DTP you are trying to import match the existing DTP in the target system. If they do not match, you will need to adjust the DTP in the source system to ensure compatibility.
  
  
  Manual Adjustment: If the DTP cannot be imported due to type mismatches, you may need to manually create or adjust the DTP in the target system to match the desired configuration.
  
  
  Transport Request: If you are using a transport request, ensure that all related objects (like InfoProviders, DataSources, etc.) are included in the transport. This can help avoid inconsistencies.
  
  
  Check Versioning: Ensure that the versions of the DTP and the InfoProviders are compatible. If necessary, update the InfoProviders or the DTP to the latest version.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to DTPs and the specific error message for any additional guidance or updates.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to analyze the DTP and its configuration.
