• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDHA287 - DataSource '&1' and source system '&2' missing ?

  The SAP error message RSDHA287 indicates that a DataSource is missing from the specified source system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to access or load data from a DataSource that is not available or has not been properly configured.
  Cause:
  
  DataSource Not Created: The DataSource may not have been created in the source system.
  Incorrect Source System Configuration: The source system may not be correctly configured in the BW system.
  Transport Issues: If the DataSource was transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly.
  Deactivated DataSource: The DataSource might be deactivated in the source system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the DataSource.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DataSource Existence:
  
  Go to the source system (e.g., SAP ERP) and check if the DataSource exists in the relevant application (e.g., in the Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Use transaction code RSA1 in the BW system to check the DataSource.
  
  
  
  Create or Activate DataSource:
  
  If the DataSource does not exist, create it in the source system.
  If it exists but is deactivated, activate it.
  
  
  
  Check Source System Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the source system is correctly configured in the BW system. You can check this in the BW system using transaction RSA1 and navigating to the source system settings.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the DataSource was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure it was transported successfully.
  If there were issues, you may need to re-transport the DataSource.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the DataSource. Check the roles and authorizations assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Sometimes, updates or patches may affect the DataSource. Ensure that both the source and BW systems are up to date.
