• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B049 - HANA-View: Mapping for text field &1 (&2) has been removed ?

  The SAP error message R7B049 indicates that there is an issue with a HANA view where the mapping for a text field has been removed. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when working with HANA views that are used for reporting or data modeling.
  Cause:
  
  Field Removal: The specific text field referenced in the error message has been removed from the underlying data source or HANA view. This could happen due to changes in the data model, such as modifications in the database schema or updates to the HANA view.
  Data Source Changes: If the data source for the HANA view has been altered (e.g., fields added or removed), it can lead to inconsistencies in the mapping.
  Modeling Errors: Errors during the modeling process in SAP HANA or BW can also lead to this issue, especially if the view was not properly updated after changes were made.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check HANA View: Review the HANA view definition to ensure that the text field in question still exists. If it has been removed, you will need to either restore it or update the view to reflect the current schema.
  Update Data Source: If the underlying data source has changed, ensure that the HANA view is updated accordingly. This may involve re-mapping fields or adjusting the view to accommodate the changes.
  Recreate Mapping: If the mapping for the text field has been removed, you may need to recreate it. This can involve going into the modeling tools and re-establishing the connection between the data source and the HANA view.
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependent objects that might be affected by the removal of the text field. This includes checking for any reports, queries, or other views that rely on the field.
  Transport Requests: If changes were made in a development environment, ensure that the relevant transport requests are moved to the production environment correctly.
