  The SAP error message RSOBI_MF036 indicates that the system is unable to read a DataSource from a specified logical system. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) systems. Below are the potential causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  DataSource Not Activated: The DataSource may not be activated in the source system.
  Logical System Configuration: The logical system specified may not be correctly configured or may not exist in the system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the DataSource in the specified logical system.
  Connection Issues: There may be connectivity issues between the SAP BW system and the source system.
  DataSource Deletion: The DataSource might have been deleted or is no longer available in the source system.
  Transport Issues: If the DataSource was transported from another system, it may not have been properly configured in the target system.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check DataSource Activation:
  
  Go to the source system and check if the DataSource is activated. You can do this using transaction code RSA1 in the source system.
  If it is not activated, activate it.
  
  
  
  Verify Logical System Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the logical system name is correctly defined in the SAP BW system. You can check this in transaction SM59 (RFC destinations) and RSCUSTV10 (BW customizing).
  Make sure that the logical system is correctly mapped to the source system.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the DataSource. This can be done by checking the user roles and authorizations in transaction SU01.
  
  
  
  Test Connection:
  
  Use transaction SM59 to test the RFC connection to the source system. Ensure that the connection is successful and that there are no network issues.
  
  
  
  Check DataSource Existence:
  
  In the source system, check if the DataSource still exists. You can do this using transaction RSA1 or RSA3 to see if the DataSource is available.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Logs:
  
  If the DataSource was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors or issues that may have occurred during the transport process.
