• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B399 - Either object &1 does not exist or you are not authorized to display it ?

  The SAP error message R7B399 indicates that the system cannot find the specified object (denoted by &1 in the message) or that the user does not have the necessary authorization to view it. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when trying to access a query, InfoProvider, or other objects.
  Causes:
  
  Non-Existent Object: The object you are trying to access may not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the object name or the object being deleted or not yet created.
  Authorization Issues: The user account you are using may not have the required authorizations to access the object. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user profile.
  Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from another system (like Development to Production), it may not have been transported correctly or may not exist in the target system.
  Object Type Mismatch: You might be trying to access an object of a different type than expected (e.g., trying to access a query instead of an InfoProvider).
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Verify Object Existence:
  
  Check if the object exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (like RSA1 for InfoProviders) and searching for the object.
  Ensure that the name of the object is spelled correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for authorization issues. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify missing authorizations.
  Consult with your SAP security team to ensure that your user role includes the necessary authorizations to access the object.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the object was recently transported, verify that the transport was successful and that the object is present in the target system.
  Check the transport logs for any errors or issues during the transport process.
  
  
  
  Object Type Verification:
  
  Ensure that you are accessing the correct type of object. For example, if you are trying to run a query, make sure you are not mistakenly trying to access an InfoObject or another type of object.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on the specific object you are trying to access and any related authorization requirements.
