• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDME173 - Components of compound InfoObject &1 are missing ?

  The SAP error message RSDME173 indicates that there are missing components in a compound InfoObject. A compound InfoObject is a special type of InfoObject in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) that combines multiple characteristics into a single object. When you encounter this error, it typically means that one or more of the underlying characteristics that make up the compound InfoObject are not available or have been deleted.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Characteristics: One or more of the characteristics that are part of the compound InfoObject have been deleted from the system.
  Inactive Characteristics: The characteristics may be inactive or not properly activated.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport process that caused the characteristics to be missing.
  Incorrect Configuration: The compound InfoObject may have been incorrectly configured, leading to missing components.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Deleted Characteristics:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1) and check if the characteristics that are part of the compound InfoObject exist.
  If they are missing, you may need to recreate them or restore them from a backup.
  
  
  
  Activate Characteristics:
  
  If the characteristics exist but are inactive, activate them. You can do this in the InfoObject maintenance screen.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to see if there were any errors during the transport of the InfoObjects.
  Ensure that all dependent objects were included in the transport request.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Compound InfoObject:
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider recreating the compound InfoObject. This involves creating a new compound InfoObject and adding the necessary characteristics again.
