• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSOA706 - Source system ID &1 for InfoCube &2 is ambiguous: &3 is assigned ?

  The SAP error message RSOA706 indicates that there is an ambiguity in the source system ID for a specific InfoCube. This typically occurs when multiple source systems are assigned to the same InfoCube, leading to confusion in data extraction or reporting processes.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  Multiple Source Systems: More than one source system is assigned to the same InfoCube, which creates ambiguity in identifying which source system should be used for data extraction.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the settings of the InfoCube or the source systems in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) environment.
  Data Source Issues: The data source might be incorrectly set up, leading to conflicts in the source system assignments.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSOA706 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Source System Assignments:
  
  Go to the SAP BW system and navigate to the InfoCube in question.
  Check the source system assignments for the InfoCube. You can do this by going to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and looking at the InfoCube's properties.
  
  
  
  Identify Ambiguous Source Systems:
  
  Identify all the source systems that are currently assigned to the InfoCube. You can do this by reviewing the settings in the DataSource or InfoPackage.
  
  
  
  Remove or Correct Assignments:
  
  If you find multiple source systems assigned, decide which one should be the primary source for the InfoCube.
  Remove the unnecessary or incorrect source system assignments to eliminate the ambiguity.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure Data Sources:
  
  If necessary, reconfigure the DataSources associated with the InfoCube to ensure they point to the correct source system.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, test the data extraction process to ensure that the error is resolved and that data is being pulled correctly from the designated source system.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that the changes are transported to the production environment after thorough testing.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) and RSO2 (DataSource Maintenance) to manage InfoCubes and DataSources.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed guidance on InfoCube and DataSource configuration.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to this error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ambiguity in the source system assignments for the InfoCube and eliminate the RSOA706 error.
