• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDS087 - Missing field &1 (object ID) in segment &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSDS087 indicates that a specific field is missing in a segment of a DataSource. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to extract data from a source system, and it can be related to issues with the DataSource configuration or the underlying data structure.
  Cause:
  
  Field Not Available: The field specified in the error message is not present in the data structure of the source system. This could be due to changes in the source system, such as field deletions or modifications.
  Incorrect DataSource Configuration: The DataSource may not be correctly configured to include the required fields.
  Version Mismatch: There may be a mismatch between the version of the DataSource in the source system and the version expected in the BW system.
  Transport Issues: If the DataSource was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport process that led to missing fields.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DataSource Configuration:
  
  Go to the DataSource in the SAP BW system and verify that the field in question is included in the DataSource definition.
  If the field is missing, you may need to adjust the DataSource to include it.
