  Recreate InfoSource: If the InfoSource is needed, consider recreating it. This will also regenerate the necessary texts in ROIST.
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all related objects were included in the transport request. You may need to re-transport the InfoSource and its texts.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to InfoSources and data extraction for any specific guidance or known issues.
