• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B659 - Invalid transfer: I_READ_ALL or I_T_INFOCUBES or I_IOBJNM ?

  The SAP error message R7B659, which states "Invalid transfer: I_READ_ALL or I_T_INFOCUBES or I_IOBJNM," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the data transfer process, particularly when dealing with InfoProviders or InfoObjects.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Parameters: The error often arises when the parameters passed to a function module or method are incorrect or not as expected. This could involve:
  
  I_READ_ALL: This parameter is used to indicate whether all data should be read. If it is set incorrectly, it can lead to this error.
  I_T_INFOCUBES: This parameter should contain valid InfoCubes. If it is empty or contains invalid entries, the error will occur.
  I_IOBJNM: This parameter refers to the InfoObject name. If it is not valid or does not exist in the system, it will trigger this error.
  
  
  
  Data Model Issues: There may be issues with the data model, such as missing or incorrectly configured InfoObjects or InfoCubes.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user executing the data transfer may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified InfoCubes or InfoObjects.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the system has recently undergone a transport, there may be inconsistencies in the data model or missing objects.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Parameters: Review the parameters being passed to the function or method that is generating the error. Ensure that:
  
  I_READ_ALL is set correctly (usually as 'X' for true).
  I_T_INFOCUBES contains valid and existing InfoCubes.
  I_IOBJNM is a valid InfoObject name that exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Validate InfoObjects and InfoCubes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check the configuration of InfoObjects and InfoCubes. Ensure they are active and correctly set up.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the InfoCubes and InfoObjects involved in the data transfer.
  
  
  Review Transport Requests: If the error occurred after a transport, check the transport logs for any issues and ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify where the parameters are being set incorrectly or where the failure occurs.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP BW you are using for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific fixes or patches related to this error message.
