• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_DB_DB6215 - DataStore object &1: InfoObject for column &2 not found ?

  The SAP error message RS_DB_DB6215 indicates that there is an issue with a DataStore Object (DSO) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). Specifically, it means that the InfoObject for a specified column in the DSO cannot be found. This can occur for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  Missing InfoObject: The InfoObject that corresponds to the column in the DataStore Object may have been deleted or not activated.
  Incorrect DataSource: The DataSource that populates the DSO may not be correctly configured or may not include the required InfoObject.
  Transport Issues: If the DSO or InfoObject was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport process that led to the InfoObject not being available in the target system.
  Inconsistent Metadata: There may be inconsistencies in the metadata of the DSO, especially if changes were made to the InfoObjects after the DSO was created.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check InfoObject Existence: Verify that the InfoObject for the specified column exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the InfoObject catalog in the SAP BW system.
  Activate InfoObject: If the InfoObject exists but is not activated, activate it. You can do this in the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1).
  Review DataSource Configuration: Ensure that the DataSource that feeds the DSO includes the required InfoObject. If it does not, you may need to modify the DataSource to include it.
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly. You may need to re-transport the missing InfoObject.
  Recreate DSO: If the DSO is not critical and can be recreated, consider deleting and recreating the DSO after ensuring that all required InfoObjects are available and activated.
  Check for Changes: If there have been recent changes to the InfoObjects or the DSO, review those changes to ensure they are consistent and do not conflict with existing configurations.
