  The SAP error message RSDRV_VPROHANA005 indicates that there is a problem with a mapped attribute in a characteristic within the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA. Specifically, it means that the system is unable to find a mapped attribute for a given characteristic.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Mapping: The attribute that is supposed to be mapped to the characteristic does not exist in the data model or InfoObject.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the InfoObject or the data model may be incorrect, leading to the system not being able to find the expected mapping.
  Data Source Issues: The data source from which the data is being extracted may not have the required attributes defined.
  Transport Issues: If the system has recently undergone a transport, the mapping may not have been transported correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Definition:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1) and verify that the attribute exists for the characteristic in question.
  Ensure that the attribute is correctly defined and activated.
  
  
  
  Review Mapping:
  
  Check the mapping settings in the transformation or data flow to ensure that the attribute is correctly mapped to the characteristic.
  If necessary, re-map the attribute to the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Data Source Verification:
  
  Ensure that the data source being used has the required attributes defined and that they are being extracted correctly.
  If using a DataSource from a source system, check the source system to ensure that the attribute exists.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that they were successfully imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Re-activate Objects:
  
  Sometimes, re-activating the InfoObject or the transformation can resolve the issue. This can be done in the respective maintenance transactions.
