  Check InfoObject Configuration:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1).
  Locate the InfoObject associated with the dimension mentioned in the error message.

  Transport Requests:
  
  If the changes were made in a development environment, ensure that the transport requests containing the changes have been properly moved to the production environment.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that any dependent objects (like queries or reports) are updated to reflect the changes made to the InfoObject and its attributes.
