• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDHA164 - Target field '&1' missing in target input mapping ?

  The SAP error message RSDHA164 indicates that there is a problem with the target field mapping in a data transfer process, specifically that the target field specified in the message is missing from the target input mapping. This error typically occurs in the context of data extraction or transformation processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Missing Field in DataSource: The target field specified in the error message is not present in the DataSource or InfoObject that you are trying to map to.
  Incorrect Mapping Configuration: The mapping configuration for the data transfer process (DTP) may not include the target field, or it may be incorrectly configured.
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been recent changes to the data model (e.g., changes in InfoObjects, DataSources, or DTPs), the target field may have been removed or renamed.
  Inconsistent Field Names: The field names in the source and target may not match due to naming conventions or changes in the underlying data structure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDHA164 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Target Field Mapping:
  
  Go to the Data Transfer Process (DTP) in the SAP BW system.
  Verify the target field mapping to ensure that the field mentioned in the error message is included in the mapping.
  
  
  
  Update DataSource:
  
  If the target field is missing from the DataSource, you may need to update the DataSource to include the required field.
  Check the DataSource definition and ensure that all necessary fields are included.
  
  
  
  Adjust DTP Configuration:
  
  If the target field is present in the DataSource but not in the DTP mapping, you may need to adjust the DTP configuration to include the target field.
  You can do this by editing the DTP and adding the missing field to the target mapping.
  
  
  
  Check for Changes:
  
  Review any recent changes made to the data model, such as changes to InfoObjects or DataSources, and ensure that the mappings are still valid.
  If changes were made, you may need to reconfigure the mappings accordingly.
  
  
  
  Activate Objects:
  
  After making changes, ensure that all relevant objects (DataSource, InfoObjects, DTP) are activated.
  
  
  
  Test the DTP:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the DTP to ensure that the error is resolved and that data can be successfully transferred.
