• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDS057 - Creation of DataSources for SAP source system &1 is not permitted ?

  The SAP error message RSDS057 indicates that the creation of DataSources for a specific SAP source system is not permitted. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to create a DataSource from an SAP source system.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to create DataSources in the specified source system.
  Source System Configuration: The source system may not be properly configured or may not be set up to allow DataSource creation.
  Technical Settings: The technical settings of the source system may restrict the creation of DataSources.
  System Type: The source system might be of a type that does not support DataSource creation (e.g., a non-SAP system).
  Transport Layer Issues: There may be issues with the transport layer that prevent the creation of DataSources.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create DataSources. This typically involves checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  Verify Source System Configuration: Check the configuration of the source system in the SAP BW system. Ensure that it is correctly set up and that the connection is active.
  Review Technical Settings: Look into the technical settings of the source system to ensure that it allows for DataSource creation. This may involve checking settings in transaction RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Check System Type: Confirm that the source system is of a type that supports DataSource creation. If it is a non-SAP system, you may need to use a different approach.
  Consult Transport Layer: If there are transport layer issues, consult with your Basis team to resolve any transport-related problems that may be affecting the creation of DataSources.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue. Sometimes, specific patches or updates may be required to resolve such errors.
