  The SAP error message RSTRAN814 indicates that a source system (or source object) is not active in the context of data transfer or extraction processes. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Data Warehousing scenarios when trying to load data from a source system that is not currently active or available.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Source System: The source system from which you are trying to extract data is not active. This could be due to various reasons, such as the source system being down, not configured properly, or not connected.
  Incorrect Configuration: The source system may not be correctly configured in the SAP BW system. This includes issues with the RFC connection or the logical system settings.
  Transport Issues: If the source system was recently transported or changed, it may not have been activated properly in the BW system.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the data transfer may not have the necessary authorizations to access the source system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Source System Status: Verify that the source system is up and running. You can do this by checking the system status in the SAP GUI or using transaction codes like SM51 to see if the system is active.
  Verify Configuration: Ensure that the source system is correctly configured in the BW system. Check the settings in transaction RSA1 under the "Source Systems" section.

  Activate Source System: If the source system is inactive, you may need to activate it. This can be done in the BW system by navigating to the source system settings and ensuring it is set to active.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the source system. This may involve checking roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  Transport and Activation: If the source system was recently transported, ensure that all necessary objects are activated in the BW system. You may need to re-activate the data source or related objects.
