  The SAP error message RSO_CTC209 indicates a mismatch between the logical system names in the context of data transfer or data source configuration. This error typically arises when there is an inconsistency in the logical system names used in the source and target systems, particularly when dealing with data extraction or data transfer processes.
  Cause:
  
  Logical System Name Change: The logical system name for the source or target system has been changed, but the configuration has not been updated accordingly.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings in the SAP system may reference an outdated or incorrect logical system name.
  Transport Issues: If you are transporting objects between systems, the logical system names may not match due to differences in the configuration of the source and target systems.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Logical System Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer) or SE06 (Transport Organizer Tools) to check the logical system configuration.
  Ensure that the logical system names are correctly defined in both the source and target systems.
  
  
  
  Update Data Source Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the relevant data source or InfoProvider in the SAP BW system.
  Check the settings and ensure that the logical system name matches the current configuration.
  
  
  
  Adjust Transport Requests:
  
  If the error occurred after a transport, ensure that the transport request includes the correct logical system name.
  You may need to adjust the transport settings or re-import the transport request.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction BD54:
  
  Use transaction BD54 to maintain the logical system names and ensure that they are consistent across the systems.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Transfer Processes:
  
  If you are using data transfer processes (DTPs), ensure that the source and target logical systems are correctly configured in the DTP settings.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Data Source:
  
  If the issue persists, consider recreating the data source or InfoProvider to ensure that all settings are correctly aligned with the current logical system name.
