• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_CTC247 - No source systems have been selected ?

  The SAP error message RSO_CTC247, which states "No source systems have been selected," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when you are trying to execute a query or a data extraction process, but no source systems have been defined or selected for the data retrieval.
  Cause:
  
  No Source System Defined: The most common cause is that there are no source systems configured in the system or the specific data source you are trying to access.
  Incorrect Query Configuration: The query or data extraction process may not have the correct settings or may not be linked to any source system.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the source systems.
  Technical Issues: There could be technical issues with the connection to the source systems, such as network problems or configuration errors.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Source System Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP BW system and check if the source systems are properly configured. You can do this by navigating to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1) and checking the source system settings.
  Ensure that the source system is active and properly connected.
  
  
  
  Review Query Settings:
  
  If you are executing a query, check the query definition in the Query Designer (transaction code RSRT). Ensure that the query is linked to the correct InfoProvider and that the InfoProvider has the necessary source systems assigned.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user executing the query or data extraction has the necessary authorizations to access the source systems. This can be checked in the user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Technical Checks:
  
  Check for any technical issues that might be affecting the connection to the source systems. This could include network issues, system downtimes, or configuration errors in the source system.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Adjust the Query:
  
  If the query is not set up correctly, consider recreating it or adjusting the settings to ensure that it references the correct source systems.
