• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BOE_MESSAGE112 - Selected objects must have same vendor ?

  The SAP error message BOE_MESSAGE112 ("Selected objects must have the same vendor") typically occurs in the context of SAP BusinessObjects (BO) when you are trying to perform an operation (like a merge or a report generation) on multiple objects that are associated with different vendors. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when dealing with reports, universes, or other objects in the BusinessObjects environment.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered because the selected objects (e.g., reports, universes, or data sources) are linked to different vendors or data sources. In BusinessObjects, each object can be associated with a specific vendor, and operations that involve multiple objects require them to be from the same vendor.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Properties: Review the properties of the selected objects to determine their associated vendors. You can do this by right-clicking on each object and selecting "Properties" or "Info" to see the vendor information.
  
  
  Select Objects from the Same Vendor: Ensure that all selected objects belong to the same vendor. If they do not, you will need to deselect the objects that are from a different vendor and only select those that are from the same vendor.
  
  
  Create a New Object: If you need to combine data from different vendors, consider creating a new object that can pull data from both sources, if your architecture allows for it.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP BusinessObjects documentation for more details on vendor-specific operations and limitations.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP Community for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Vendor Definition: In the context of SAP BusinessObjects, a vendor typically refers to the source of the data or the system that provides the data (e.g., SAP BW, SQL Server, Oracle, etc.).
  BusinessObjects Version: Ensure that you are aware of the version of BusinessObjects you are using, as the behavior and features may vary between versions.
  Best Practices: When working with multiple data sources, it is a good practice to maintain a clear understanding of the data architecture and the relationships between different objects to avoid such errors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the BOE_MESSAGE112 error and continue with your work in SAP BusinessObjects.
