Error occured during selection for the DS 0CRM_SALES_ACT_1 in RSA3.

Question

Hi Experts,
I have transported the DS - 0CRM_SALES_ACT_1 i from Dev. to QA system and in RSA3 it throwing an error message saying that 'error occured during selection'.
I have checked the respective tables of this datasources all the records are there and also check the table SMOXHEAD_S and the table is not having this datasource.
Any idea why the error is coming and is this because of the table SMOXHEAD_S empty for this datasource.
OR
Shall i activate this DS using RSA5 tcode in the development system and then create a new request and tranport the request to QA system?...Shall we do this in the development system?.
Thanks in advances for yousuggestion.

Hi Vachan
The entry in SMOXHEAD_S for your datasource must match the entry in SMOXHEAD exactly.   Check in your dev box to be sure - the entry is there but it is missing in QA.
I wrote this program which copies the entry from SMOXHEAD to SMOXHEAD_S.
Run the program at your own risk your CRM QA box.  If the entry is there already then it will do nothing.
Please post to say if it works for you.
Good luck,
