• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDME265 - Ranges should be of type missing/ignore for transformation type 'None' ?

  The SAP error message RSDME265 indicates that there is an issue with the transformation settings in your SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. Specifically, it suggests that the ranges defined in your transformation are not compatible with the transformation type 'None'. This typically occurs when you are trying to load data into a DataStore Object (DSO) or InfoCube without properly configuring the transformation rules.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The transformation type is set to 'None', which means that no transformation logic is applied.
  The ranges defined in the transformation are not of the type 'missing' or 'ignore'. This means that the system expects certain fields to be either ignored or treated as missing, but they are not configured correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Transformation Settings:
  
  Go to the transformation that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the transformation type is correctly set. If you intend to use a transformation, you may need to change the type from 'None' to the appropriate transformation type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Ranges:
  
  Review the ranges defined in the transformation. If you are using a transformation type of 'None', make sure that the ranges are set to 'missing' or 'ignore' as required.
  If you do not need any ranges, consider removing them altogether.
  
  
  
  Validate DataSource:
  
  Ensure that the DataSource you are using is correctly configured and that it matches the structure of the target DSO or InfoCube.
  
  
  
  Test the Transformation:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the transformation to ensure that it works without errors.
