• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBPCA_EXCEPTION121 - Unexpected InfoObject name &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSBPCA_EXCEPTION121 with the description "Unexpected InfoObject name &1" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue related to the InfoObjects being used in a query or data extraction process. This error indicates that the system encountered an InfoObject name that it did not expect, which can happen for several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect InfoObject Name: The InfoObject name specified in the query or data extraction process does not match any existing InfoObject in the system.
  Changes in InfoObjects: If there have been recent changes to InfoObjects (like renaming or deletion), the query or process may still reference the old names.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObjects were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may be inconsistencies or missing objects.
  Query Definition Issues: The query definition may have been corrupted or improperly configured, leading to unexpected InfoObject references.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Verify InfoObject Names: Check the InfoObject names used in the query or data extraction process. Ensure that they are correctly spelled and exist in the system.
  Check for Recent Changes: Review any recent changes made to InfoObjects. If an InfoObject was renamed or deleted, update the query or process to reflect these changes.
  Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all necessary InfoObjects were included in the transport request and that they are present in the target system.
  Recreate or Adjust the Query: If the query definition is suspected to be corrupted, consider recreating the query or adjusting it to remove any references to the unexpected InfoObject.
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects (like InfoProviders, transformations, etc.) are correctly configured and available.
