• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL087 - Compound father &1 of InfoObject &2 is missing ?

  The SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL087 indicates that there is a problem with the data model in an SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW system, specifically related to the InfoObject hierarchy. The message states that a compound father of a specific InfoObject is missing, which means that the system is unable to find a required parent node in the hierarchy structure.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Hierarchy Definition: The compound father (parent node) of the specified InfoObject is not defined in the system. This could happen if the hierarchy was deleted or not properly created.
  Data Model Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data model, such as changes made to InfoObjects or hierarchies that were not properly reflected in the data model.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject or its hierarchy was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport process that led to missing components.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Definition: Verify that the hierarchy for the InfoObject is correctly defined. You can do this by navigating to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and checking the hierarchy settings.
  Recreate Missing Hierarchy: If the compound father is indeed missing, you may need to recreate it. This involves defining the hierarchy structure again and ensuring that all necessary parent-child relationships are established.
  Consistency Check: Run a consistency check on the data model to identify any other potential issues. This can often be done through the BW modeling tools.
  Transport Review: If the issue arose after a transport, review the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and successfully transported.
  Data Model Refresh: In some cases, refreshing the data model or reactivating the InfoObject may resolve the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to access InfoObject maintenance and hierarchy settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on InfoObjects, hierarchies, and data modeling in BW/4HANA.
