• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7464 - Char. &1: InfoObject &2 was deleted from the compounding -> long text ?

  The SAP error message R7464 indicates that a characteristic (InfoObject) has been deleted from the compounding in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). This error typically arises when there is an inconsistency in the data model, particularly when a characteristic that is expected to be part of a compound characteristic is no longer available.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of InfoObject: The primary cause of this error is the deletion of an InfoObject (characteristic) that was previously part of a compound characteristic. This can happen if the InfoObject was removed from the data model or if it was deactivated.
  Inconsistent Data Model: If the data model has been modified (e.g., InfoObjects added or removed) without proper adjustments to the compound characteristics, this error can occur.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the InfoObject was not included in the transport, it may lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check InfoObject Status: Verify if the InfoObject mentioned in the error message is indeed deleted or deactivated. You can do this by navigating to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and checking the status of the InfoObject.
  Recreate or Reactivate InfoObject: If the InfoObject was deleted by mistake, consider recreating it or reactivating it if it was deactivated.
  Adjust Compound Characteristics: If the InfoObject is no longer needed, you may need to adjust the compound characteristics that reference it. This can involve removing the deleted InfoObject from the compound characteristic definition.
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request. You may need to re-transport the missing InfoObject.
  Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the data model to identify any other inconsistencies that may need to be addressed.
