Source RSDS DS_CA_CLIFID DBW_150 does not exist

Question

Hello all,
I have created a Datasource in BW through RSO2 and then I created a Transformation rule from this Datasource to an infoobject.
When I transport this to QA, I get the error message "Source RSDS DS_CA_CLIFID DBW_150 does not exist".
It seems to me that the logical system name conversion is not working, since that QA is QBW_250 and not DBW_150.
The customizing for logical system name conversion is correct and it´s the first time I get this error, coincidently it´s the first Datasource I create using the new version (7.0).
Did any of you have this problem?
Thanks and regards,
Cristina.

I had exactly the same problem, at a client of mine, when transporting the master data layer (InfoObjects, Transformations, DataSources and InfoPackages) from a BW Development System (DEV) to a BW Quality Assurance System (QA).  We were on BW 7.01 Support Pack 6.  I kept on receiving error messages in the transport log for the transformation after-import method, referring to DataSources in the DEV system not existing in the QA system.  Here's one of them:
Start of the after-import method RS_TRFN_AFTER_IMPORT for object type(s) TRFN (Activation Mode)
No rule exists
Source RSDS 0VERSION_TEXT DEVCLNTXXX does not exist
After unsuccessfully trying many different things, such as ensuring the logical system name mapping was correct (they were from the start), the DataSources existed and were active in the QA system (which they were from the start) and different combinations and sequences of transports, I stumbled upon the following notes which solved the problem.
- 1412414 (SP24) Content is not generated/transport errors; and
- 1489612 Objects of the type DTRF deleted after method is executed (supplemental note to 1412414)
Have a look at the commentary inside Note 1412414 and I think you'll find it matches your problem:
Errors RSTRAN 514, RSTRAN 803, and RSTRAN 401 can occur during the transport of transformations since the source object of the type "DataSource" of a transformation is not found in the target system of the transport.
Good luck!
