• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPP061 - No source provider specified for COPY ?

  The SAP error message RSPP061 "No source provider specified for COPY" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to copy data from one InfoProvider to another, but the system cannot find a source provider specified for the operation. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during data loading, data transfer processes, or when working with transformations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Source Provider: The most common cause is that the source InfoProvider (e.g., InfoCube, DataStore Object, etc.) has not been specified in the data transfer process or transformation.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the data transfer process or transformation might be incorrect, leading to the system not being able to identify the source provider.
  Technical Issues: There could be technical issues or inconsistencies in the BW system that prevent the source provider from being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Transfer Process (DTP):
  
  Go to the Data Transfer Process that you are using and ensure that the source provider is correctly specified.
  Make sure that the source and target InfoProviders are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Review Transformations:
  
  If you are using a transformation, check the transformation settings to ensure that the source InfoProvider is correctly defined.
  Ensure that the mapping between the source and target fields is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Check InfoProvider Settings:
  
  Verify that the source InfoProvider is active and has the necessary data available for copying.
  Ensure that the InfoProvider is not in a state that would prevent data extraction (e.g., it might be in a "locked" state).
  
  
  
  Recreate DTP/Transformation:
  
  If the issue persists, consider recreating the Data Transfer Process or transformation to ensure that all settings are correctly applied.
  
  
  
  Check for Technical Issues:
  
  Look for any system logs or error messages that might provide additional context about the issue.
  If necessary, consult with your SAP Basis team to check for any underlying technical issues in the BW system.
