• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAU503 - InfoObject & is not contained in the InfoCube ?

  The SAP error message RSAU503 indicates that a specific InfoObject is not contained in the InfoCube you are trying to work with. This error typically arises during data extraction, loading, or reporting processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is a mismatch between the InfoObjects defined in the InfoCube and those being referenced in the data load or query.
  Cause:
  
  Missing InfoObject: The InfoObject specified in the error message is not included in the structure of the InfoCube.
  Incorrect Mapping: There may be a mapping issue where the InfoObject is expected but not found in the InfoCube.
  Changes in Data Model: If the InfoCube was modified (e.g., InfoObjects were added or removed) after the data load or query was created, it could lead to this error.
  Data Source Issues: The data source from which data is being extracted may not be aligned with the InfoCube structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoCube Structure: 
  
  Go to the InfoCube in the SAP BW modeling tools and verify if the InfoObject mentioned in the error message is indeed part of the InfoCube.
  If it is missing, you may need to add it to the InfoCube.
  
  
  
  Update Data Source:
  
  If the InfoObject is supposed to be part of the InfoCube, ensure that the data source is correctly configured to include it.
  Check the transformation rules and ensure that the mapping is correct.
  
  
  
  Rebuild or Adjust Queries:
  
  If you are running a query that references the InfoObject, ensure that the query is updated to reflect any changes made to the InfoCube.
  You may need to adjust the query to remove references to the missing InfoObject or to include it if it has been added.
  
  
  
  Data Load Process:
  
  If the error occurs during a data load, check the data load process and ensure that the InfoObject is being populated correctly.
  Review the data extraction process to ensure that it aligns with the InfoCube structure.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If changes were made in a development environment, ensure that the transport requests containing the changes have been moved to the production environment.
