• Message number: 111

• Message text: InfoSource & does not have a transfer structure in source system &

What causes this issue?

No transfer structure is assigned to InfoSource &V1& in source system
&V2&. A dictionary structure with this name &V3& does not exist,
however. There were probably such serious problems when creating
transfer structure &V3& that it was not created.

Deleting transfer structure &V3& in source system &V2& is therefore
unnecessary, the deleting is done on the BW side.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R3111 - InfoSource & does not have a transfer structure in source system & ?

  The SAP error message R3111 indicates that the specified InfoSource does not have a transfer structure in the source system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to extract data from a source system, such as an SAP ERP system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Transfer Structure: The primary cause of this error is that the InfoSource you are trying to use for data extraction does not have an associated transfer structure defined in the source system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the InfoSource or the data source that prevents the transfer structure from being recognized.
  Data Source Not Activated: The data source from which you are trying to extract data may not be activated or properly set up in the source system.
  Changes in Source System: If there have been recent changes in the source system (like changes in the data model), the transfer structure may not have been updated accordingly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transfer Structure: 
  
  Go to the source system and check if the transfer structure for the specified InfoSource exists. You can do this by navigating to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and checking the InfoSource settings.
  
  
  
  Create/Activate Transfer Structure:
  
  If the transfer structure does not exist, you may need to create it. This can typically be done in the source system using transaction RSA1 or by using the DataSource maintenance transaction (like RSA2).
  If it exists but is not activated, activate it.
  
  
  
  Check Data Source:
  
  Ensure that the DataSource associated with the InfoSource is correctly configured and activated. You can check this in the source system using transaction RSA1 or RSA2.
  
  
  
  Recheck InfoSource Configuration:
  
  Verify that the InfoSource is correctly configured in the BW system. Ensure that it is pointing to the correct DataSource and that all necessary fields are mapped correctly.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If changes were made in the development environment, ensure that the transport requests containing the changes have been moved to the production environment.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific InfoSource and DataSource for any additional configuration steps that may be required.
