• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSTRAN802 - Target &1 &2 is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message RSTRAN802, which states "Target &1 &2 is not allowed," typically occurs during data transfer processes, particularly in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when trying to load data into a target object (like a DataStore Object, InfoCube, or InfoObject) that is not configured to accept the data being transferred.
  Cause:
  
  Target Object Configuration: The target object (e.g., InfoCube, DataStore Object) may not be set up to accept data from the source. This could be due to incorrect settings in the data model or the data flow.
  Data Transfer Process (DTP) Settings: The DTP might be incorrectly configured, leading to the error when trying to load data.
  Data Source Issues: The data source from which you are trying to load data may not be compatible with the target object.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the data transfer may not have the necessary authorizations to write to the target object.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Target Object Configuration:
  
  Verify that the target object is correctly configured to accept data. This includes checking the structure and data types to ensure they match the source data.
  Ensure that the target object is active and not in a state that would prevent data loading.
  
  
  
  Review DTP Settings:
  
  Open the Data Transfer Process in the SAP BW system and check the settings. Ensure that the source and target are correctly defined and that the transformation rules are appropriate.
  Check if the DTP is set to "Full" or "Delta" load and ensure it matches the intended data load type.
  
  
  
  Validate Data Source:
  
  Ensure that the data source is correctly set up and that it is compatible with the target object. Check for any changes in the data source that might affect the data structure.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the data transfer has the necessary authorizations to write to the target object. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Review Transformation Rules:
  
  If there are transformation rules defined between the source and target, ensure that they are correctly set up and that there are no errors in the mapping.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
