• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDHA353 - Data type '&1' is not supported in target InfoProvider '&2' ?

  The SAP error message RSDHA353 indicates that there is a data type in your source data that is not supported in the target InfoProvider. This typically occurs when you are trying to load data into an InfoProvider (like a DataStore Object or InfoCube) that does not accept the data type of one or more fields from the source.
  Cause:
  
  Incompatible Data Types: The source data contains fields with data types that are not compatible with the target InfoProvider. For example, you might be trying to load a field with a complex data type (like a structure or a table) into a target that only accepts simple data types (like CHAR, NUMC, etc.).
  Field Mappings: There may be incorrect or missing field mappings between the source and target InfoProvider.
  Data Source Configuration: The data source might be configured incorrectly, leading to the extraction of unsupported data types.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Review the data types of the fields in the source data and compare them with the data types defined in the target InfoProvider. Ensure that all fields in the source are compatible with the target.
  Adjust Field Mappings: If there are any discrepancies in field mappings, adjust them accordingly. You can do this in the transformation rules or in the InfoPackage settings.
  Modify Data Source: If the data source is extracting fields with unsupported data types, consider modifying the data source to exclude those fields or convert them to a supported data type.
  Use ABAP Code: If necessary, you can use ABAP code to transform the data before it is loaded into the target InfoProvider. This can help in converting unsupported data types into compatible ones.
  Check InfoProvider Settings: Ensure that the target InfoProvider is correctly set up to accept the data types you are trying to load. You may need to adjust the InfoProvider's structure or settings.
  
  Related Information:

  Transformation Rules: Review the transformation rules in your data flow to ensure that they are correctly defined and that data types are being handled appropriately.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
