  The SAP error message RSDMD050 "No time overlaps at request &1 in &2" typically occurs in the context of data extraction or data loading processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error indicates that there is no overlapping time period between the data being requested and the data that is available in the InfoProvider (such as an InfoCube or DataStore Object).
  Cause:
  
  Data Availability: The data for the requested time period does not exist in the InfoProvider. This can happen if the data has not been loaded yet or if the data for that specific time frame has been deleted or archived.
  Request Selection: The selection criteria for the data request may not match any existing data. For example, if you are trying to extract data for a specific month, but there is no data loaded for that month, this error will occur.
  Time Characteristics: The time characteristics in the request may not align with the data in the InfoProvider. For instance, if the request is for a fiscal year and the data is stored in calendar months, this mismatch can lead to the error.
  Data Update Issues: If there were issues during the data load process (e.g., errors in the data transfer process), it could result in missing data for the requested time period.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Load: Verify that the data has been successfully loaded into the InfoProvider for the requested time period. You can do this by checking the data load logs and ensuring that there are no errors.

  Data Consistency: Check for any inconsistencies in the data model, such as missing time characteristics or incorrect mappings. Ensure that the time characteristics used in the request are correctly defined in the InfoProvider.
  Reprocess Data: If there were issues during the data load, consider reprocessing the data load to ensure that all relevant data is available.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to this error message for any specific guidance or updates that may apply to your version of SAP BW.
