How To Fix CLBW_META020 - Basic InfoObject/Source &1 is not relevant (see long text)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CLBW_META - For Generating Metadata

• Message number: 020

• Message text: Basic InfoObject/Source &1 is not relevant (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 basis DataSource (MATNR).
This basis DataSource is linked to a base 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 basis InfoSource or basis InfoObject that you entered exists in
the BW system and that it is linked with a basis DataSource from the
OLTP system. This basis 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 or basic InfoObject &V1& that you specified is
linked with a basic DataSource from the OLTP system that does not
correspond with the current DataSource &V2& from the source system. For
this reasons, the program cannot transfer key fields from the structure
of the basic InfoSource. Please check your entries and enter the correct
basic InfoSource, as needed. You can also ignore the message and
continue with the transaction. In this case, the system will generate
the proposals for the key fields that you can overwrite later as needed.

  The SAP error message CLBW_META020 indicates that a Basic InfoObject or Source is not relevant for the operation you are trying to perform. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when dealing with InfoObjects, data sources, or transformations.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  InfoObject Not Active: The InfoObject you are trying to use may not be active in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The InfoObject may not be configured correctly or may not be relevant for the specific data flow or transformation you are working with.
  Data Source Issues: The data source associated with the InfoObject may not be set up properly or may not be relevant for the target InfoProvider.
  Versioning Issues: There may be versioning issues where the InfoObject has been changed or deactivated in a way that makes it incompatible with the current data model.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check Activation: Ensure that the InfoObject is active. You can do this by navigating to the InfoObject in the SAP BW modeling tools and checking its status.
  Review Configuration: Verify the configuration of the InfoObject and ensure that it is set up correctly for the intended use. Check the attributes, key figures, and any associated data sources.
  Data Source Validation: If the error is related to a data source, check that the data source is correctly defined and that it is relevant for the InfoProvider you are working with.
  Check for Dependencies: Look for any dependencies or relationships between InfoObjects that may affect their relevance. Ensure that all related objects are also active and correctly configured.
  Consult Long Text: The error message suggests checking the long text for more details. You can do this by clicking on the message in the SAP GUI to see if there are additional instructions or information provided.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was recently transported from another system, ensure that all related objects were also transported correctly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check InfoObjects and data sources.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on InfoObjects and their configurations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide patches related to this error message.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP BW expert for further assistance.
