  The SAP error message CONT_TOOLS_E295 indicates that there is an issue with the mapping of a Master Data DataSource to an InfoObject in your SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when working with data modeling and extraction processes.
  Cause:
  The error message CONT_TOOLS_E295 No Text and Masterdata DataSource is mapped to InfoObject &1 usually occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing Mapping: The Master Data DataSource is not properly mapped to the specified InfoObject. This can happen if the DataSource was not configured correctly or if there were changes made to the InfoObject that were not reflected in the DataSource.
  
  
  Inconsistent Configuration: There may be inconsistencies in the configuration of the DataSource or InfoObject, such as missing attributes or text elements that are required for the mapping.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the DataSource or InfoObject was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may be issues with the transport that caused the mapping to break.
  
  
  DataSource Deactivation: The DataSource might be deactivated or not available for use, leading to the inability to map it to the InfoObject.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Mapping: Go to the DataSource configuration in the SAP BW system and verify that the Master Data DataSource is correctly mapped to the InfoObject. Ensure that all required fields and attributes are included in the mapping.
  
  
  Review DataSource Configuration: Check the configuration of the DataSource to ensure that it is set up correctly. Look for any missing attributes or text elements that may be causing the issue.

  Check Activation Status: Ensure that the DataSource is activated and available for use. If it is deactivated, reactivate it.
  
  
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate problems with the DataSource or InfoObject.
