  The SAP error message RSDTM106, which states "You have not specified a source system," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to create or modify a DataSource or InfoSource without specifying a source system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are working with data extraction from a source system or setting up data flows.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of a defined source system in the configuration of the DataSource or InfoSource. In SAP BW, a source system is essential for data extraction, as it defines where the data is coming from (e.g., SAP ERP, flat files, etc.).
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDTM106 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Source System Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP BW system and navigate to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).
  Under the "Modeling" section, check the "Source Systems" node to ensure that the relevant source system is defined and active.
  
  
  
  Specify the Source System:
  
  If you are creating or modifying a DataSource or InfoSource, ensure that you specify the source system in the relevant fields.

  Validate DataSource Settings:
  
  If you are working with an existing DataSource, double-check its settings to ensure that the source system is correctly assigned.
  You can do this by navigating to the DataSource in the Data Warehousing Workbench and checking the properties.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If you are working in a development environment and the source system configuration was recently transported, ensure that the transport request was successful and that the source system is available in the target environment.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and modify the source system settings.
