SAP S/4HANA Error 4674: Invalid Data Source Name
Description
This error indicates that SAP S/4HANA cannot find or validate a specified logical data source name. It typically occurs when an application, report, or integration process attempts to access data using a data source name that is either misspelled, non-existent, or incorrectly configured within the system.
Error Message
ERR_DATAPROV_INVALID_LOGICAL_DATASOURCE_NAME
Known Causes
4 known causesIncorrect Data Source Name
The logical data source name provided in the configuration, query, or application code does not exactly match an existing and valid data source definition.
Missing Configuration
The referenced logical data source has not been properly set up, activated, or fully configured within the SAP S/4HANA system or its associated data provisioning components.
Decommissioned Data Source
A logical data source that was previously valid has been removed or decommissioned, but existing configurations or applications still attempt to reference it.
Insufficient Permissions
The user account or service attempting to access the data source lacks the necessary authorizations to read or utilize the specified logical data source.
Solutions
3 solutions available1. Verify and Recreate Data Source in SAP BW/4HANA or SAP HANA Modeling Tools medium
The error often indicates a problem with the logical data source definition, requiring re-validation and potential recreation.
1
Access SAP BW/4HANA or SAP HANA modeling tools (e.g., SAP Business Application Studio, Eclipse with relevant plugins).
2
Navigate to the Data Sources or Composite Providers section where the problematic data source is defined.
3
Locate the logical data source mentioned in the error message. If it's a custom data source, review its definition for typos, incorrect object names, or missing dependencies.
4
If the data source is valid, try deactivating and then reactivating it. If it's custom, consider recreating it with a correct name and verified source object references.
5
Ensure that all underlying objects (e.g., tables, views, BW InfoObjects) referenced by the logical data source exist and are active in the target system.
6
After making changes, activate the data source and any related objects.
2. Check SAP HANA View Dependencies and Activation Status medium
If the logical data source is based on an SAP HANA calculation view, ensure the view is correctly defined and activated.
1
Identify the underlying SAP HANA view that the logical data source is pointing to. This information can usually be found in the data source configuration within SAP BW/4HANA or the modeling tool.
2
Connect to the SAP HANA database using SAP HANA Studio or SAP Business Application Studio.
3
Navigate to the package containing the relevant SAP HANA view.
4
Check the activation status of the HANA view. If it's inactive or has errors, attempt to activate it again. Resolve any errors reported during activation.
5
If the view has been recently modified, ensure all its dependencies (other views, tables, etc.) are also active and accessible.
6
Once the HANA view is active and error-free, try to refresh or re-execute the process that consumes the logical data source.
3. Review and Correct System Configuration for Data Source Registration advanced
This involves checking the system's configuration and ensuring the data source is correctly registered for consumption.
1
In the SAP S/4HANA system, navigate to transaction SPRO.
2
Go to the relevant configuration path for data source management or integration points. The exact path can vary depending on the specific data source type and its origin (e.g., SAP BW/4HANA integration, S/4HANA CDS views). Search for terms like 'Data Source', 'Registration', or 'Integration'.
3
Verify the system alias or connection settings used to access the data source. Ensure these are correctly maintained and point to the right system.
4
Check if the logical data source name is registered correctly within the S/4HANA system or the BW/4HANA system that is trying to consume it. There might be a specific transaction or table for managing registered data sources.
5
If the data source is expected to be available via a specific interface (e.g., OData service, RFC destination), verify the configuration of that interface.
6
Consider re-registering the data source if the configuration seems inconsistent or outdated.
