• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 42108 - Info object deleted for the current context ?

  The SAP error message "42108 Info object deleted for the current context" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when a query or report is trying to access an InfoObject that has been deleted or is no longer available in the current context.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted InfoObject: The most common cause is that the InfoObject (e.g., characteristic, key figure) has been deleted from the InfoProvider or the data model.
  Change in Data Model: Changes in the data model, such as modifications to InfoProviders, can lead to this error if the query is still referencing the deleted InfoObject.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was deleted in one system (e.g., development) and the changes were transported to another system (e.g., production) without proper synchronization, it can lead to this error.
  Query Definition Issues: The query definition may still reference the deleted InfoObject, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check InfoObject Status: Verify if the InfoObject in question has indeed been deleted. You can do this by navigating to the InfoObject in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  Update Queries: If the InfoObject has been deleted, you will need to update any queries that reference it. This may involve removing the InfoObject from the query or replacing it with an alternative.
  Rebuild Queries: In some cases, it may be necessary to rebuild the query from scratch if it heavily relies on the deleted InfoObject.
  Transport Management: Ensure that all changes related to InfoObjects are properly transported across systems. If the deletion was unintentional, you may need to restore the InfoObject from a backup or re-create it.
  Check for Dependencies: Look for any dependencies or references to the deleted InfoObject in other objects (e.g., transformations, DSO, InfoCubes) and address those as needed.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check InfoObjects and queries.
