• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSSDA040 - i_opcode_field_nm, i_timest_field_nm and i_sequence_field_nm required ?

  The SAP error message RSSDA040 indicates that certain fields are required but not provided in the context of a data extraction or data transfer process. Specifically, the fields mentioned in the error message (i_opcode_field_nm, i_timest_field_nm, and i_sequence_field_nm) are likely related to the configuration of a DataSource or a data extraction process in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The error typically arises when the DataSource or the extraction process is not properly configured. The required fields are not specified in the settings.
  Incorrect Mapping: If you are using a custom DataSource or a transformation, the mapping of fields may not be correctly set up, leading to missing required fields.
  DataSource Definition: The DataSource may not have been defined correctly in the SAP system, leading to the absence of necessary fields.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DataSource Configuration:
  
  Go to the DataSource definition in the SAP system (transaction code RSA1 for Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Ensure that the fields i_opcode_field_nm, i_timest_field_nm, and i_sequence_field_nm are defined and mapped correctly.
  
  
  
  Field Mapping:
  
  If you are using a custom extraction or transformation, verify that the required fields are included in the mapping.
  Ensure that the fields are populated with the correct data types and values.
  
  
  
  Update DataSource:
  
  If the DataSource is missing these fields, you may need to update the DataSource definition to include them.
  You can do this by modifying the DataSource in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  
  Check for Notes and Patches:
  
  Sometimes, SAP releases notes or patches that address specific issues. Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes related to your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Testing:
