• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR284 - InfoSource & does not deliver attributes of type & ?

  The SAP error message RSAR284 indicates that an InfoSource is not delivering attributes of a specified type. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the data extraction process from a source system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Attributes: The InfoSource may not have been configured to include the required attributes. This can happen if the InfoSource was created without selecting the necessary fields or if the fields were removed after the InfoSource was created.
  Data Source Configuration: The underlying data source (like an InfoObject or a DataSource) may not be set up correctly to deliver the attributes.
  Data Transfer Process (DTP) Issues: There may be issues with the Data Transfer Process that is responsible for moving data from the source to the target.
  Field Type Mismatch: The attributes being requested may not match the expected data types or formats.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoSource was transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies in the configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoSource Configuration: 
  
  Go to the InfoSource in the SAP BW system and verify that the required attributes are included in the InfoSource definition.
  Ensure that the attributes are correctly mapped to the corresponding fields in the source system.
  
  
  
  Review Data Source:
  
  Check the underlying DataSource to ensure that it is configured to deliver the necessary attributes.
  If the DataSource is based on a table or view, ensure that the fields are present and correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Validate DTP Settings:
  
  Review the Data Transfer Process settings to ensure that it is correctly configured to handle the attributes.
  Check for any filters or transformations that may be excluding the attributes.
  
  
  
  Check for Field Type Issues:
  
  Ensure that the data types of the attributes in the InfoSource match the expected types in the target InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Transport Consistency:
  
  If the InfoSource was transported, check for any inconsistencies or missing objects in the target system.
  Re-import or adjust the transport if necessary.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test extraction to verify that the attributes are now being delivered correctly.
