  Data Model Changes: Changes in the underlying data model or structure that are not reflected in the DataSource.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDTM071 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check DataSource Activation:
  
  Go to the DataSource in the SAP BW system and ensure it is activated. You can do this in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  
  
  
  Verify Transport:
  
  If the DataSource was transported, check if all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that they are correctly configured in the target system.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:

  Consult Logs:
  
  Check the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or information that may provide more context about the issue.
