non-persistent object can be useful in an active data flow, if the data
flow is transported to another development system so that it can be used
there as a template.

System Response

The data flow contains warnings. Processing can be continued. Check the
cause of the warning.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDF032 - Data flow contains a non-persistent object: &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSDF032 indicates that a data flow contains a non-persistent object, which means that one of the objects involved in the data flow (like a DataSource, InfoSource, or DataTarget) is not set up to store data persistently. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Non-Persistent DataSource: The DataSource being used in the data flow is not configured to store data persistently. This can happen if the DataSource is a generic DataSource or if it is set up incorrectly.
  Incorrect Configuration: The InfoPackage or transformation might be incorrectly configured, leading to the use of non-persistent objects.
  Data Target Issues: The target object (like an InfoObject or InfoCube) may not be set up to accept data from the source.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDF032 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check DataSource Configuration:
  
  Go to the DataSource in the SAP BW system and verify its settings. Ensure that it is configured as a persistent DataSource.
  If it is a generic DataSource, consider creating a new DataSource that is persistent.
  
  
  
  Review the Data Flow:
  
  Analyze the data flow to identify which object is non-persistent. You can do this by checking the transformation and InfoPackage settings.
  Ensure that all components in the data flow (DataSource, transformation, and DataTarget) are correctly configured and compatible.
  
  
  
  Modify the Data Target:
  
  If the target object is not set up to accept data, you may need to adjust its settings or create a new target that is persistent.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that your SAP BW system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as sometimes bugs can cause unexpected behavior.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
