• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSTRAN_DB041 - Virtual InfoProvider '&1' not supported as data source ?

  The SAP error message RSTRAN_DB041 indicates that a Virtual InfoProvider (often a CompositeProvider or a VirtualProvider) is being used as a data source in a context where it is not supported. This typically occurs in scenarios involving data extraction or reporting where the system expects a physical InfoProvider instead of a virtual one.
  
  Cause:
  
  Virtual InfoProvider Usage: The error arises when a Virtual InfoProvider is referenced in a context that requires a physical InfoProvider. Virtual InfoProviders are designed to combine data from multiple sources dynamically and may not be suitable for certain operations that require direct access to a physical data source.

  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the data flow or the query may be incorrectly set up to use a Virtual InfoProvider where a physical one is expected.
