• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CFG/DSY_DS073 - DDIC object &1 has unexpected type &2 ?

  The SAP error message /CFG/DSY_DS073 indicates that there is an issue with a Data Dictionary (DDIC) object in your SAP system. Specifically, the message states that the DDIC object identified by &1 has an unexpected type &2. This typically occurs in the context of data modeling or configuration in SAP, particularly when working with Data Services or similar tools.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Object Type: The DDIC object you are trying to use is of a different type than what is expected. For example, you might be trying to use a table when a view is expected, or vice versa.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the data flow or data model that references the DDIC object incorrectly.
  Changes in the DDIC: If the DDIC object was modified (e.g., changed from a table to a view), it could lead to this error if the dependent objects are not updated accordingly.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another, it might not have been transported correctly, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Type: Verify the type of the DDIC object in question. Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the object type and ensure it matches what is expected in your configuration.
  Update Configuration: If the object type is incorrect, update your configuration or data flow to reference the correct type of object.
  Recreate or Adjust the Object: If the object has been changed or corrupted, consider recreating it or adjusting its properties to match the expected type.
  Check Dependencies: Review any dependent objects or configurations that might be referencing the DDIC object and ensure they are aligned with the current state of the object.
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs and ensure that all necessary objects were included and correctly imported.
