• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDME414 - Multiple sources specified for the model ?

  The SAP error message RSDME414, which states "Multiple sources specified for the model," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is a conflict in the data source configuration for a particular InfoProvider or model. This error indicates that the system has detected more than one data source defined for a single model, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Data Sources: The model is configured with more than one data source, which can happen if the model was incorrectly set up or if there were changes made to the data source configuration.
  Incorrect Model Configuration: The model may have been created or modified in a way that it references multiple sources, leading to ambiguity in data retrieval.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Model Configuration:
  
  Go to the model in the SAP BW system and review the data source settings.
  Ensure that only one data source is assigned to the model. If multiple sources are listed, remove the unnecessary ones.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Source:
  
  If you need to use multiple data sources, consider creating separate models for each data source instead of combining them into one.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport request for any unintended changes to the model or data sources.
  Revert or adjust the transport if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring models and data sources correctly.
