• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 42647 - Rel. &4: Info object does not exist in new original language ?

  The SAP error message 42647, which states "Info object does not exist in new original language," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when there is an issue with the language settings of InfoObjects (like characteristics or key figures) in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Language Settings: The error usually arises when an InfoObject is being accessed or modified in a language that is not supported or does not have the necessary translations available in the system.
  Missing Translations: The InfoObject may exist in the original language but lacks translations in the new language you are trying to use.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it might not have been properly translated or the translations were not included in the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Language Settings: Ensure that the language settings in your user profile match the language in which the InfoObject is defined. You can do this by going to the user settings in SAP.
  Verify InfoObject Translations:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1).
  Check if the InfoObject exists in the original language and if translations are available for the target language.
  If translations are missing, you may need to create them.
  
  
  Transport Request: If the InfoObject was recently transported, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary translations were included. If not, you may need to re-transport the InfoObject with the correct translations.
  Recreate InfoObject: In some cases, if the InfoObject is corrupted or improperly configured, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to InfoObjects and language settings for additional guidance.
