• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR457 - Transfer structure &1 deleted because not delivered ?

  The SAP error message RSAR457 indicates that a transfer structure has been deleted because it was not delivered. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when dealing with data transfer processes (DTP) and data sources.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Transfer Structure: The transfer structure referenced in the error message is not available in the system. This can happen if the transfer structure was deleted or not properly activated.
  Transport Issues: If the transfer structure was supposed to be transported from another system (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not include the necessary objects, it may lead to this error.
  Data Source Changes: If the underlying data source has been modified or deleted, the associated transfer structure may also become invalid.
  
  Solution:
  
  Recreate the Transfer Structure: If the transfer structure is missing, you may need to recreate it. This can be done by going to the relevant data source and reactivating it, which should regenerate the transfer structure.
  Check Transport Requests: Ensure that the transport requests that include the transfer structure have been properly released and imported into the target system. If not, you may need to transport the missing objects.
  Activate Data Source: Go to the Data Source in the SAP BW system and activate it again. This can often regenerate the necessary transfer structures.
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that all dependencies related to the data source and transfer structure are intact. This includes checking for any changes in the underlying tables or structures.
  Review Logs: Check the logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about why the transfer structure was deleted.
