• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS162 - Designtime mapping to non-existent restriction ?

  The SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS162 indicates that there is an issue with the design-time mapping in your SAP system, specifically that it is trying to reference a restriction that does not exist. This error typically occurs in the context of data modeling or when working with analytical objects in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent Restriction: The error is primarily caused by a reference to a restriction (like a filter or condition) that has been deleted or does not exist in the system.
  Inconsistent Metadata: There may be inconsistencies in the metadata definitions, possibly due to changes made in the data model or during transport processes.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another, the restriction might not have been included in the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Object Definition: Review the object (e.g., InfoObject, CompositeProvider, etc.) that is generating the error. Ensure that all referenced restrictions are defined and exist in the system.
  Recreate the Restriction: If the restriction has been deleted, you may need to recreate it. Ensure that it is correctly defined and activated.
  Update Metadata: If there are inconsistencies, you may need to refresh or update the metadata in the system. This can sometimes be done by reactivating the object or performing a metadata refresh.
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all necessary objects, including restrictions, were included in the transport request. You may need to transport the missing objects.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using debugging tools to trace where the error is occurring and gather more information about the context in which the error is thrown.
