How To Fix CLBW_META014 - InfoObject/Source & does not exist (see long text)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CLBW_META - For Generating Metadata

• Message number: 014

• Message text: InfoObject/Source & does not exist (see long text)

What causes this issue?

When creating an InfoSource for classification or configuration data in
the BW system, the key fields of the basic InfoSource that are linked to
key fields of a OLTP basic DataSource are transferred into the
extraction structure. This only occurs if the key fields of this OLTP
basic DataSource have the same names as the key fields of the
classification DataSource.
For example: a classification DataSource in the OLTP system 1CL_OMAT001
has the same key field as its corresponding basic DataSource (MATNR).
This basis DataSource is linked to a basic InfoSource from the BW system
via the key field assignment, for example, MATNR <-> 0MATERIAL. In the
extraction structure of the classification InfoSource to be generated,
the key field 0MATERIAL is transferred. The prerequisite for this is
that the basic InfoSource or basis InfoObject that you entered exists in
the BW system and that it is linked with a basic DataSource from the
OLTP system. This basisc DataSource has to correspond with the current
classification or configuration DataSource via key fields of the same
name. If these prerequisites are not fulfilled, the system generates a
proposal for the key fields of the extraction structure. The key fields
proposed by the system can be overwritten later, as needed.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

The basic InfoSource &V1& you specified does not exist in the system.
Check your input and if needed, enter the correct basic InfoSource. You
can also ignore the message and continue with the transaction. In this
case, the system generates the proposals for the key fields, which you
can overwrite later as needed.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CLBW_META014 - InfoObject/Source & does not exist (see long text) ?

  The SAP error message CLBW_META014 indicates that a specific InfoObject or source does not exist in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to access or manipulate data related to InfoObjects that are not defined or have been deleted.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent InfoObject: The InfoObject you are trying to reference may not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the name or the InfoObject being deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was recently transported from another system, it may not have been successfully imported.
  Incorrect Configuration: The InfoObject might not be properly configured or activated in the system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the InfoObject.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Existence:
  
  Go to the SAP BW modeling tools and check if the InfoObject exists. You can do this by navigating to the InfoObjects in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  
  
  
  Verify Naming:
  
  Ensure that the name of the InfoObject is spelled correctly in your query or data flow.
  
  
  
  Re-transport InfoObject:
  
  If the InfoObject was supposed to be transported from another system, check the transport logs and ensure that it was successfully imported. If not, you may need to re-transport it.
  
  
  
  Activate InfoObject:
  
  If the InfoObject exists but is not activated, activate it in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the InfoObject. You may need to consult with your security team to verify this.
