  The SAP error message "42814 Information object has no contents (only title)" typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP BusinessObjects when you are trying to access or display an information object (like a report, query, or document) that has been created but does not contain any data or content beyond its title.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Object: The information object has been created but has not been populated with any data. This can happen if the object was created but not yet filled with relevant data or if the data extraction process failed.
  Data Source Issues: The underlying data source may not have any data available, or there may be issues with the data extraction process that prevent data from being loaded into the object.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data, leading to the perception that the object is empty.

  Run Data Load Processes: If applicable, run the data load processes (like InfoPackage or data transfer processes) to ensure that data is being loaded into the BW system.
