How To Fix RSDS183 - D version in source system missing for DataSource &1(&2)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSDS - New DataSource

• Message number: 183

• Message text: D version in source system missing for DataSource &1(&2)

What causes this issue?

No D version header is available in the system after activating
DataSource &v1&(&v2&) and replicating the DataSource.
The D version header should be generated during replication (also in the
Content development system).

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

In the source system, check whether the D version is available in
transaction <DS:TRAN.RSA5>RSA5</>or table ROOSOURCE.

Procedure for System Administrators

If the D version is missing, delivering BI Content (the shadow version
of the DataSource - SHDS) is problematic.
The scenario cannot normally be activated in a customer system since the
DataSource is not available in the source system.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDS183 - D version in source system missing for DataSource &1(&2) ?

  The SAP error message RSDS183 indicates that there is a missing version of a DataSource in the source system. This typically occurs when the DataSource is not properly activated or when there is a mismatch between the DataSource definition in the SAP BW system and the source system.
  Cause:
  
  DataSource Not Activated: The DataSource may not be activated in the source system.
  Version Mismatch: The version of the DataSource in the source system does not match the version expected by the BW system.
  Transport Issues: If the DataSource was transported from one system to another, it may not have been properly activated in the target system.
  Source System Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the source system that prevent the DataSource from being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the DataSource:
  
  Go to the source system (e.g., SAP ERP).
  Navigate to the DataSource in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).
  Ensure that the DataSource is activated. If it is not, activate it.
  
  
  
  Check Version:
  
  Verify that the version of the DataSource in the source system matches the version expected by the BW system.
  You can check the version in the DataSource maintenance transaction (RSA1) in the BW system.
  
  
  
  Re-transport the DataSource:
  
  If the DataSource was recently transported, ensure that it was transported correctly and activated in the target system.
  If necessary, re-transport the DataSource and activate it again.
  
  
  
  Check Source System Connection:
  
  Ensure that the connection to the source system is correctly configured in the BW system.
  Test the connection to ensure that it is working properly.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors in Source System:
  
  Look for any errors or issues in the source system that might prevent the DataSource from being accessed.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
