• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDRI_HDB028 - Conversion not possible. Object &1 not of type InfoCube ?

  The SAP error message RSDRI_HDB028: Conversion not possible. Object &1 not of type InfoCube typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an attempt to perform an operation that requires an InfoCube, but the specified object is not recognized as an InfoCube. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when querying data or during data extraction processes.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Object Type: The object you are trying to access or manipulate is not an InfoCube. It could be a different type of data object, such as a DataStore Object (DSO), MultiProvider, or CompositeProvider.
  Misconfiguration: The InfoProvider might not be properly configured or might have been deleted or renamed.
  Query Issues: If you are running a query that is supposed to access an InfoCube but is pointing to a different object, this error can occur.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another, it might not have been transported correctly, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Verify Object Type: Check the object type of the specified object (&1) in the SAP BW system. Ensure that it is indeed an InfoCube. You can do this by navigating to the object in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  
  
  Check Query Definition: If the error occurs while executing a query, review the query definition to ensure that it is correctly pointing to an InfoCube. You may need to adjust the query to point to the correct InfoProvider.
  
  
  Recreate or Repair the Object: If the object is supposed to be an InfoCube but is not functioning as one, consider recreating it or repairing it. This may involve reloading data or reconfiguring the InfoCube.
  
  
  Check Transport Logs: If the object was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate issues during the transport process.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to this error message for any specific guidance or patches that may address the issue.
