  The SAP error message RSDRI_HDB049 indicates that the InfoCube you are trying to load data into is empty, and therefore, there is no data that needs to be moved. This error typically occurs during the data loading process in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to load data into an InfoCube that has not yet been populated with any data.
  Cause:
  
  
  Empty InfoCube: The primary cause of this error is that the InfoCube you are trying to load data into does not contain any data. This can happen if:
  
  The InfoCube has just been created and has not yet been populated.
  The data source you are trying to load from does not have any records to load.
  The selection criteria in the data load process do not match any records in the source.
  
  
  
  Data Source Issues: There may be issues with the data source from which you are trying to load data. This could include:
  
  The data source is not activated.
  The data source does not have any data available for the specified time period or selection criteria.
  
  
  
  Transformation Issues: If there are transformations involved in the data load process, there may be issues with the transformation rules that prevent data from being loaded.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Source: Verify that the data source you are using to load data into the InfoCube has data available. You can do this by:
  
  Running a query on the data source to see if it returns any records.
  Checking the data source settings to ensure it is activated and configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria used in the data load process are correct and that they match the data available in the source. Adjust the selection criteria if necessary.
  
  
  Load Data into InfoCube: If the InfoCube is newly created, you may need to load initial data into it. Make sure to perform the necessary data loads to populate the InfoCube.
  
  
  Check Transformations: If you are using transformations, review the transformation rules to ensure they are set up correctly and that they are not filtering out all the data.
  
  
  Monitor Data Load Process: Use the SAP BW monitoring tools to check the status of the data load process. Look for any warnings or errors that may indicate why data is not being loaded.
  
  
  Related Information:
