• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR659 - Changes to InfoSource (&) information saved ?

  The SAP error message RSAR659 indicates that changes have been made to an InfoSource, and the system has saved those changes. This message is typically informational rather than an error, meaning it is not necessarily indicative of a problem that needs to be resolved. However, it can be associated with certain scenarios in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) where InfoSources are modified.
  Cause:
  
  Modification of InfoSource: The message is triggered when an InfoSource is modified, which could include changes to its structure, data sources, or mappings.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the underlying data model or data flow that affect the InfoSource.
  Transport Requests: If changes are made in a development environment and transported to a production environment, this message may appear.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Changes: Check the changes made to the InfoSource to ensure they are correct and intended. This can be done in the InfoSource maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1).
  Test Data Flow: After making changes, it is advisable to test the data flow to ensure that the InfoSource is functioning as expected and that data is being extracted correctly.
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that any dependent objects (like DataSources, InfoObjects, or DSO) are also updated if necessary.
  Documentation: Document the changes made for future reference and to inform other team members about the modifications.
  
  Related Information:
