  The SAP error message RSDME855 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.

  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the DataSource:
