How To Fix CONT_TOOLS_E276 - The Datasource &1(release &3) doesnt have a Transfer Structure.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CONT_TOOLS_E - Messages for BI CONTENT TOOLS

• Message number: 276

• Message text: The Datasource &1(release &3) doesnt have a Transfer Structure.

&REASON&
If there is a mapping, for which a Transfer Structure should be availabl
e (according to RSISOSMAPSH-TRANSTRU = 'X'), there must be a
corresponding Transfer Structure.
For the Transfer Rules for DataSource &V1& of &V3& release, the mapping
(object type SHMP) is available, but the corresponding transfer
structure (object type SHTR) is not available.
Hence, it is not possible to install this transfer rule.

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

&SOLUTION&
Activate the transfer rules for the relevant source system (release &V3&
) or delete them, if they are no longer needed.
In case there is no corresponding source system available, request the c
onnection of a source system with the corresponding release or - incase
the corresponding source system release is no longer maintained - ask
the BI Content team to delete the transfer rules.
