  The SAP error message RSBPCE_EXCEPTION021 indicates that there was an issue while copying a data access profile from one version to another. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when dealing with data access profiles for InfoProviders, such as InfoCubes or DataStore Objects (DSOs).
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Inconsistent Data Access Profile: The source data access profile may have inconsistencies or issues that prevent it from being copied.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the copy operation.
  Version Mismatch: The source and target versions may not be compatible, or the target version may not exist.
  Technical Issues: There may be underlying technical issues in the BW system, such as database inconsistencies or problems with the transport layer.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user performing the operation has the necessary authorizations to copy data access profiles. This includes authorizations for both the source and target versions.
  
  
  Validate Data Access Profile: Check the source data access profile for any inconsistencies or errors. You can do this by reviewing the profile settings and ensuring that all required fields and settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  Check Versions: Verify that the source version exists and is valid. Ensure that the target version is also correctly set up and compatible with the source version.
  
  
  Use Transaction RSRV: You can use transaction RSRV to check for inconsistencies in the BW system. This transaction allows you to run checks on various objects, including data access profiles.
  
  
  Review Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or details that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  Recreate the Profile: If the issue persists and you cannot resolve it, consider recreating the data access profile manually instead of copying it.
