• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GBW014 - All target InfoCubes must be transactional InfoCubes ?

  The SAP error message GBW014 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of InfoCubes in your SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. Specifically, it states that all target InfoCubes must be transactional InfoCubes. This error typically arises when you are trying to load data into an InfoCube that is not set up as a transactional InfoCube, which is required for certain operations, such as data loading or reporting.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect InfoCube Type: The target InfoCube you are trying to load data into is not defined as a transactional InfoCube. In SAP BW, InfoCubes can be categorized as either transactional or master data InfoCubes, and certain processes require the target to be transactional.
  Data Flow Configuration: The data flow or transformation settings may be incorrectly configured, leading to the attempt to load data into a non-transactional InfoCube.
  Modeling Errors: There may be errors in the modeling of the InfoCubes or the data source that are causing this issue.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check InfoCube Type: Verify the type of the target InfoCube. You can do this by navigating to the InfoCube in the SAP BW modeling tools and checking its properties. Ensure that it is set as a transactional InfoCube.
  Change InfoCube Type: If the InfoCube is not transactional and needs to be, you may need to create a new transactional InfoCube and migrate the data to it, as changing the type of an existing InfoCube is not typically supported.
  Review Data Flow: Check the data flow and transformation settings to ensure that they are correctly configured to point to a transactional InfoCube.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on InfoCube types and data loading processes.
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the data loading process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
