SAP Note 936644 - 3.x DataSource:No active version displayed in UI (emulation)

Component : DataSource - Transformation

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/936644 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
A 3.x DataSource appears as "Active Version: does not exist" in SAP UI despite being active in the source system. This issue occurs because the UI cannot handle direct changes to 3.x DataSource; it requires transfer rules creation when changes are attempted. Displayed as “emulated,” the DataSource cannot be used for transformations or DTPs, leading to errors (RSTRan803, RSDS170). The solution involves emulating the 3.x DataSource via transfer rules and PSA method for activating the emulated version, or migrating it to RSDX to resolve the issue, with the latter method prohibiting the modeling of data flows via traditional transfer rules.

Key words :
bi intelligence -> data warehousing -> modelling -> datasource -> emulation, system issues error message rstran803, create relevant transfer rules, completely maintain transfer rules, data transfer process, versioncl_rsds_rsds_vers -> emulate_from_os reason, persistent staging area, transfer rule ui, bi object datasource, missing active version
