• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO362 - Reading metadata from system &1 ... ?

  The SAP error message RSO362 typically indicates an issue with reading metadata from a specific system, which can occur in various contexts, particularly in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) environments. This error can arise due to several reasons, including connectivity issues, authorization problems, or inconsistencies in the metadata.
  Causes:
  
  Connectivity Issues: The system may not be able to connect to the source system due to network problems or incorrect configuration.
  Authorization Problems: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the metadata in the specified system.
  Inconsistent Metadata: There may be inconsistencies or corruption in the metadata of the source system.
  System Configuration: Incorrect settings in the source system or in the BW/BI system can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the metadata was recently transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Connectivity: Ensure that the connection to the source system is active and properly configured. You can test the connection using transaction codes like SM59 (RFC Destinations).
  Verify Authorizations: Check if the user has the necessary authorizations to read metadata from the source system. This can be done by reviewing the user's roles and authorizations.
  Check Metadata Consistency: Use transaction RSA1 to check the metadata in the BW system. You can also use the RS_METADATA_CHECK report to identify inconsistencies.
  Review System Configuration: Ensure that the settings in both the source and target systems are correctly configured. This includes checking the logical system settings and the transport routes.
  Re-transport Metadata: If the issue arose after a transport, consider re-transporting the metadata or checking the transport logs for errors.
  Check for System Updates: Ensure that both the source and target systems are updated with the latest patches and support packages, as bugs in earlier versions can sometimes cause such issues.
  
  Related Information:
