• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR720 - Transfer structure & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message RSAR720 indicates that a transfer structure does not exist in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). This error typically occurs when there is an issue with the data transfer process, particularly when trying to load data from a source system into the BW system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Transfer Structure: The transfer structure that is being referenced in the data transfer process does not exist in the system. This can happen if the transfer structure was not created or was deleted.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the data source or the InfoSource may be incorrect, leading to the system not being able to find the required transfer structure.
  Transport Issues: If the transfer structure was recently transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that caused it not to be created properly.
  Data Source Changes: If the data source has been changed or modified, it may no longer be compatible with the existing transfer structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transfer Structure: Verify if the transfer structure exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing Workbench) and checking the transfer structures under the relevant data source.
  Recreate Transfer Structure: If the transfer structure does not exist, you may need to recreate it. This can be done by:
  
  Going to the Data Source in RSA1.
  Right-clicking on the Data Source and selecting "Create Transfer Structure."
  
  
  Check Data Source Configuration: Ensure that the data source is correctly configured and that it points to the correct transfer structure.
  Transport Check: If the transfer structure was supposed to be transported from another system, check the transport logs for any errors and ensure that the transport was successful.
  Activate Data Source: Sometimes, simply reactivating the data source can resolve the issue. You can do this in RSA1 by selecting the data source and choosing the "Activate" option.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP BW you are using, as there may be version-specific considerations or known issues.
