• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR393 - Formulas have been activated ?

  The SAP error message RSAR393 indicates that there is an issue related to the activation of formulas in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). This error typically arises when there are inconsistencies or problems with the formulas used in the data extraction or transformation processes.
  Cause:
  
  Formula Activation: The error suggests that the formulas in the InfoProvider or transformation are not properly activated. This can happen if there were changes made to the formulas, and they have not been activated in the system.
  Inconsistent Data: If the data model has been changed (e.g., changes in InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or transformations), it may lead to inconsistencies that require reactivation of the formulas.
  Transport Issues: If the changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the formulas may not have been activated in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate Formulas: 
  
  Go to the relevant InfoProvider or transformation in the SAP BW system.
  Check the formulas and ensure they are activated. You can do this by navigating to the relevant area in the SAP GUI and selecting the option to activate the formulas.
  
  
  
  Check for Inconsistencies: 
  
  Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check for any inconsistencies in the data model.
  If inconsistencies are found, resolve them by reactivating the affected objects.
  
  
  
  Transport Management: 
  
  If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all relevant objects have been transported correctly and activated in the target system.
  You may need to manually activate the formulas in the target system if they were not activated during the transport process.
  
  
  
  Recheck Dependencies: 
  
  Ensure that all dependencies related to the formulas are also activated. This includes checking InfoObjects, InfoProviders, and any other related transformations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP BW you are using for any additional troubleshooting steps or known issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
