• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DBMAN895 - Reference InfoProvider is empty ==> (Random) test does not make sense ?

  The SAP error message DBMAN895 indicates that a reference InfoProvider is empty, which means that the system is trying to execute a query or operation that relies on data from an InfoProvider that does not contain any data. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when running reports, queries, or data extraction processes.
  Causes:
  
  No Data Loaded: The InfoProvider may not have any data loaded into it. This can happen if the data extraction process has not been executed or if there were issues during the data load.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the query may be too restrictive, resulting in no data being returned.
  Data Deletion: Data may have been deleted from the InfoProvider, either intentionally or due to data management processes.
  Incorrect InfoProvider Configuration: The InfoProvider may not be correctly configured or may not be linked to the correct data sources.
  Timing Issues: If the data load process is still running or has not yet completed, the InfoProvider may temporarily appear empty.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Load: Verify that the data load process for the InfoProvider has been executed successfully. You can check the data load logs for any errors or warnings.
  Review Selection Criteria: Examine the selection criteria used in the query to ensure they are appropriate and not overly restrictive.
  Data Verification: Check the InfoProvider directly to see if any data exists. You can do this by running a simple query or using transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to view the InfoProvider.
  Re-run Data Load: If the InfoProvider is indeed empty, consider re-running the data load process to populate it with the necessary data.
  Check for Deletions: Investigate if any data deletion processes have been executed that might have removed data from the InfoProvider.
  Configuration Review: Ensure that the InfoProvider is correctly configured and linked to the appropriate data sources.
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific InfoProvider or data load processes.
  Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific InfoProvider to understand its expected data structure and loading requirements.
