  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check DBCON Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code DBCON in the SAP GUI.

  Check RFC Connections:
  
  Ensure that the RFC connection to the source system is correctly set up and functioning.

  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the source system.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
