• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP068 - InfoProvider &1 does not exist because ODP &2 is not available ?

  The SAP error message RSODP068 indicates that an InfoProvider (data source) is not available because the Operational Data Provisioning (ODP) source is not available. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when trying to access data from a source that is not properly configured or is currently unavailable.
  Cause:
  
  ODP Source Not Activated: The ODP source may not be activated in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The InfoProvider may be incorrectly configured or not linked to the ODP source.
  Technical Issues: There may be technical issues with the ODP source, such as connectivity problems or system downtime.
  Transport Issues: If the ODP source was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly set up in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the ODP source.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check ODP Activation:
  
  Go to the ODP source in the SAP system and ensure that it is activated. You can do this in transaction ODP or by checking the relevant settings in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  
  Verify Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the InfoProvider is correctly configured to use the ODP source. Check the settings in the InfoProvider and ensure that it points to the correct ODP source.
  
  
  
  Check System Status:
  
  Verify that the source system (from which the ODP is pulling data) is up and running. Check for any connectivity issues or downtime.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the ODP source was recently transported, ensure that all necessary objects and configurations were included in the transport request.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the ODP source. Check the roles and authorizations assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Recreate ODP Source:
  
  If the ODP source is still not available, consider recreating it. This may involve deleting the existing ODP source and creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
