Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_BOIS101 - DataSource &1(&2) does not exist in replicating source system (SAP, BW) ?

  The SAP error message RSO_BOIS101 indicates that a DataSource you are trying to replicate or use in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) does not exist in the source system. This can occur during the process of data extraction when the DataSource is not properly defined or has not been activated in the source system.
  Cause:
  
  DataSource Not Created: The DataSource may not have been created in the source system (e.g., SAP ERP).
  DataSource Not Activated: The DataSource exists but has not been activated in the source system.
  Incorrect DataSource Name: There may be a typo or incorrect DataSource name specified in the replication process.
  Transport Issues: If the DataSource was 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 DataSource in the source system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DataSource Existence:
  
  Go to the source system (e.g., SAP ERP) and check if the DataSource exists using transaction code RSA1 or RSD1.
  Verify that the DataSource is correctly defined and matches the name you are trying to replicate.
  
  
  
  Activate the DataSource:
  
  If the DataSource exists but is not activated, activate it in the source system using transaction code RSA1 or RSD1.
  Ensure that the DataSource is set up correctly with the necessary fields and settings.
  
  
  
  Verify Replication Settings:
  
  In the BW system, check the replication settings for the DataSource using transaction code RSA1 and ensure that the DataSource is correctly configured for replication.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the DataSource was transported, ensure that the transport request was successfully imported into the source system and that all necessary objects are present.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user performing the replication has the necessary authorizations to access the DataSource in the source system.
  
  
  
  Re-Replicate the DataSource:
  
  If all checks are correct, try to re-replicate the DataSource in the BW system using transaction code RSA1 and selecting the appropriate options.
