• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDME787 - Source &2 of Model &1 is attached to inactive/invalid BW DataSource &3. ?

  The SAP error message RSDME787 indicates that there is an issue with a model in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) where the source of the model is linked to an inactive or invalid DataSource. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when a DataSource has been deleted, deactivated, or not properly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive DataSource: The DataSource referenced in the model is not active. This can happen if the DataSource was deactivated intentionally or due to a system change.
  Invalid DataSource: The DataSource may have been deleted or is not properly configured, leading to it being considered invalid.
  Model Configuration Issues: The model itself may have configuration issues that prevent it from properly referencing the DataSource.
  Transport Issues: If the model or DataSource was transported from another system, there may be inconsistencies or missing objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the DataSource:
  
  Go to the DataSource in the SAP BW system (transaction code RSA1).
  Check the status of the DataSource. If it is inactive, activate it.
