"Database or object is read-only" error when importing using Business Adapter

Title

When running a Business Adapter import, you may encounter the following error message, which causes the import to fail:

An error has occurred when trying to run the query [select * from [FileName.xlsx]].
The error message is: [Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.]

This issue typically indicates a mismatch between the selected source type and the actual file type being used.

Solution

To resolve this issue:

Go to the Source page in the Business Adapter configuration.
Verify that the value selected in the Type field matches the actual format of the source file.
- For example, if you are using an .xlsx Excel file, ensure the source type is set to match that format explicitly.

Save the configuration and run the import again.

Ensuring that the selected source type accurately reflects the file format will prevent the Business Adapter from treating the file as read-only, allowing the import to proceed successfully.
