• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDTM167 - No InfoSource "&2" found (source system: "&1) ?

  The SAP error message RSDTM167 indicates that the system is unable to find the specified InfoSource in the source system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to extract data from a source system, and it can be caused by several factors.
  Cause:
  
  InfoSource Not Created: The specified InfoSource may not have been created in the SAP BW system.
  Incorrect Source System: The source system specified in the error message may not be correctly configured or may not exist.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoSource was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly imported or activated.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the InfoSource.
  DataSource Issues: The DataSource associated with the InfoSource may not be correctly set up or activated.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoSource Creation:
  
  Go to the SAP BW system and check if the InfoSource exists. You can do this by navigating to the InfoSource maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1 -> InfoSources).
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it.
  
  
  
  Verify Source System Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the source system is correctly configured in the SAP BW system. Check the settings in the transaction RSA1 under the "Source Systems" section.
  Make sure that the source system is active and properly connected.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the InfoSource was transported, check the transport logs to ensure that it was successfully imported.
  If there were errors during the transport, you may need to resolve those issues.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the InfoSource. You can check this in the user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  DataSource Activation:
  
  Check if the DataSource associated with the InfoSource is active. You can do this in the DataSource maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1 -> DataSources).
  If it is not active, activate it.
  
  
  
  Check for Naming Conventions:
  
  Ensure that the naming conventions used for the InfoSource and DataSource are correct and consistent.
