• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDS122 - The DataSource &1(&2) does not exist ?

  The SAP error message RSDS122 indicates that the DataSource you are trying to access does not exist in the system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to load data into a Data Warehouse or when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) and trying to extract data from a source system.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent DataSource: The DataSource specified in the error message does not exist in the SAP system. This could be due to a typo in the DataSource name or ID.
  DataSource Not Activated: The DataSource may exist but is not activated. In SAP BW, DataSources need to be activated before they can be used.
  Incorrect Source System: The DataSource might be defined in a different source system than the one you are currently connected to.
  Transport Issues: If the DataSource was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly imported or activated in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the DataSource.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DataSource Existence:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1) and navigate to the DataSources section to verify if the DataSource exists.
  Ensure that you are looking in the correct source system.

  Check for Typos:
  
  Double-check the DataSource name and ID for any typographical errors.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the DataSource was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure it was successfully imported and activated.
