• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DSENG026 - Selection exit &1 was deleted for index &2 ?

  The SAP error message DSENG026 indicates that a selection exit (a custom selection screen or filter) associated with a specific index has been deleted. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when working with data selection in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or when dealing with InfoProviders.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of Selection Exit: The selection exit that was previously defined for the index has been deleted. This could happen due to changes in the data model, updates, or manual deletions by users.
  Transport Issues: If the selection exit was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not include the selection exit, it may lead to this error.
  Inconsistencies in Metadata: Changes in the underlying data model or InfoProvider that are not reflected in the metadata can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Recreate the Selection Exit: If the selection exit is necessary for your reporting or data extraction, you will need to recreate it. This can be done in the SAP GUI by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., RSA1 for BW) and defining a new selection exit for the index.
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport requests to ensure that the selection exit was included. If it was not, you may need to transport it again.
  Update Metadata: If there have been changes to the data model, ensure that all related metadata is updated accordingly. This may involve regenerating the InfoProvider or updating the data source.
  Consult Documentation: Review any documentation or change logs to understand why the selection exit was deleted and whether it was intentional.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) for BW, SE11 (Data Dictionary), and SE80 (Object Navigator) for managing objects.
