• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_RES_QMSGS137 - Target object &1 is already linked with another source. &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSO_RES_QMSGS137 indicates that a target object (like a query or a report) is already linked to another source object. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to link a target object to a source object that is already associated with a different source.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Link: The target object (e.g., a query or a report) is already linked to a different source object. This can happen if you are trying to change the source of a query or report that is already in use.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the data flow or the way the objects are set up in the BW system.
  Multiple Sources: The target object may be designed to accept data from only one source at a time, and you are attempting to link it to another source.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Links: Review the existing links of the target object. You can do this by navigating to the target object in the SAP BW modeling tools and checking its properties to see what source it is currently linked to.
  Remove Existing Link: If you need to change the source, you may need to unlink the target object from its current source. This can usually be done in the modeling environment by editing the properties of the target object.
  Create a New Target Object: If the target object needs to remain linked to its current source, consider creating a new target object for the new source instead of trying to change the existing one.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on managing object links in your version of SAP BW.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to manage your BW objects.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Version Specifics: The behavior might vary slightly depending on the version of SAP BW you are using, so ensure that you are consulting the correct version of the documentation.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP BW expert for further assistance.
