  The SAP error message RS_B4H_TRANSFER_APD079 indicates that there is an issue with the data transfer process in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA, specifically related to the absence of an InfoObject or Data Element for a specified field in the context of a HCPR (Hierarchical Characteristic Provider).
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing InfoObject: The InfoObject or Data Element referenced in the error message does not exist in the system. This could be due to a deletion or a misconfiguration.
  
  
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping between the source data and the target InfoObjects may not be correctly defined, leading to the system being unable to find the required InfoObject.
  
  
  Data Source Issues: The data source from which the data is being transferred may not be correctly set up or may not contain the expected fields.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly or completely.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Existence:
  
  Go to the InfoObject catalog in the SAP BW system and verify that the InfoObject or Data Element mentioned in the error message exists.

  Ensure that the data source is correctly configured and that it contains the necessary fields.
  If using a flat file or other external source, verify that the file structure matches the expected format.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the InfoObject was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that it was transported successfully.
  If there were issues during transport, you may need to re-transport the InfoObject.
