• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOFU/FBI_DT_VIEW093 - Filter Field &1 is not found on Target Node Structure &2 ?

  The SAP error message /BOFU/FBI_DT_VIEW093 Filter Field &1 is not found on Target Node Structure &2 typically occurs in the context of SAP BusinessObjects or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the data model or the way filters are applied in a query or report.
  Cause:
  
  
  Field Not Present: The filter field specified (represented by &1) does not exist in the target node structure (represented by &2). This can happen if:
  
  The field was removed or renamed in the data model.
  The target node structure was changed, and the filter field was not updated accordingly.
  There is a mismatch between the data source and the report/query definition.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping between the source and target structures may not be correctly defined, leading to the system not recognizing the filter field.
  
  
  Data Source Changes: If the underlying data source (like an InfoProvider in BW) has been modified, it may not align with the report or query that is trying to access it.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Field Existence: Verify that the filter field (&1) exists in the target node structure (&2). You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the data model in SAP BW or BusinessObjects and checking the structure of the target node.
  Ensuring that the field is correctly defined and available for use.
  
  
  
  Update Query/Report: If the field has been renamed or removed, update the query or report to reflect the current structure. This may involve:
  
  Modifying the query to use a different field that exists in the target node.
  Re-adding the field if it was mistakenly removed.
  
  
  
  Refresh Metadata: If changes were made to the data model, refresh the metadata in the reporting tool to ensure it recognizes the latest structure.
  
  
  Check Data Source: Ensure that the data source being used in the report or query is the correct one and that it has not been altered in a way that affects the fields available.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the changes made to the data model or the report, consult the documentation or change logs to understand what modifications have occurred.
