  The SAP error message VIRT602, which refers to "Last Refresh Time," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA environments. This error is often related to issues with data loading or data refresh processes in virtual data models or when working with virtual providers.
  Cause:
  
  Data Refresh Issues: The error may indicate that the last refresh time for a virtual provider or a data model has not been updated, which can happen if the data load process fails or is not executed properly.
  Configuration Problems: There may be misconfigurations in the data source or the virtual provider settings that prevent the refresh from occurring.

  Review Configuration Settings: Ensure that the configuration settings for the virtual provider and the data source are correct. This includes checking connection settings, data source mappings, and any relevant parameters.
