• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO663 - Extended &1 Action with nested rule &2 was removed on &3 ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO663 indicates that an extended action associated with a nested rule has been removed. This message typically arises in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDI) or Flexible Data Transfer (FDT) framework, which is used for data processing and transformation.
  Cause:
  
  Nested Rule Removal: The error occurs when an action that is linked to a nested rule is deleted or modified. This can happen if the configuration of the data transformation rules is changed, leading to the removal of the action that was previously defined.
  Configuration Changes: Changes made to the data model or rules in the FDT framework can lead to inconsistencies, especially if dependencies between rules and actions are not properly managed.
  Versioning Issues: If multiple users are working on the same ruleset or if there are version control issues, it may lead to unexpected removals or changes in the rules.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Changes: Check the recent changes made to the rules and actions in the FDT framework. Identify if the nested rule or the extended action was intentionally removed or if it was an unintended consequence of other changes.
  Restore Action: If the removal was unintentional, restore the action associated with the nested rule. This may involve re-adding the action or reverting to a previous version of the ruleset.
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that all dependencies between rules and actions are correctly defined. If a rule is dependent on another, ensure that it is not removed without addressing its dependencies.
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the ruleset to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the data processing works as expected.
  Documentation: Maintain proper documentation of changes made to the rules and actions to avoid confusion in the future.
  
  Related Information:
  
  FDT Framework: Familiarize yourself with the Flexible Data Transfer framework in SAP, including how rules and actions are structured and managed.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes and Knowledge Base Articles for any known issues or updates related to the FDT framework and this specific error message.
  User Roles: Ensure that users making changes to the rules have the appropriate roles and permissions to avoid accidental deletions or modifications.
