• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S10226 - Object source schema must not be 'dbo' ?

  The SAP error message S10226, which states "Object source schema must not be 'dbo'," typically occurs in the context of SAP BusinessObjects or SAP BW when there is an issue with the schema configuration in a data source or when trying to access a database object that is not properly defined.
  Cause:
  
  Schema Misconfiguration: The error indicates that the system is trying to access a database object that is defined under the 'dbo' schema, which is not allowed in the current context. This often happens when the database object (like a table or view) is expected to be in a different schema.
  Database Compatibility: The error may arise if there is a mismatch between the expected database schema and the actual schema where the object resides.
  Data Source Definition: If the data source is incorrectly defined in the SAP system, it may lead to this error when trying to execute queries or reports.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Schema Configuration: Verify the schema of the database objects you are trying to access. Ensure that they are not set to 'dbo' if the system does not allow it. You may need to change the schema of the objects or adjust the configuration in SAP.
  Modify Data Source: If you are using a data source that points to a 'dbo' schema, consider creating a new data source that points to the correct schema or modify the existing one to point to the appropriate schema.
  Database Permissions: Ensure that the user account being used to access the database has the necessary permissions to access the schema and objects.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or support notes related to your specific version of SAP BusinessObjects or SAP BW for any additional configuration steps or known issues.
