• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDTM005 - InfoCube "&1" not found ?

  The SAP error message RSDTM005 indicates that the specified InfoCube (in this case, represented by "&1") cannot be found in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to access or manipulate an InfoCube that does not exist or is not properly activated.
  Causes:
  
  Non-existent InfoCube: The InfoCube you are trying to access may not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the name or the InfoCube not being created.
  Deactivated InfoCube: The InfoCube might exist but is not activated. In SAP BW, InfoCubes need to be activated after creation.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the InfoCube, leading to the system not being able to find it.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoCube was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly or completely.
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues in the BW system that prevent the InfoCube from being recognized.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check InfoCube Existence:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1) and navigate to the InfoCubes section to verify if the InfoCube exists.
  Ensure that the name of the InfoCube is correctly spelled in your query or report.
  
  
  
  Activate the InfoCube:
  
  If the InfoCube exists but is not activated, you can activate it by right-clicking on the InfoCube in the Data Warehousing Workbench and selecting the "Activate" option.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the InfoCube. This can be checked in the user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
  
  If the InfoCube was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that it was transported successfully without errors.
  
  
  
  Technical Checks:
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider checking for any technical issues in the BW system. This may involve checking system logs or consulting with your SAP Basis team.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the InfoCube:
  
  As a last resort, if the InfoCube is corrupted or not functioning correctly, you may need to rebuild it. This involves deleting the InfoCube and recreating it, but this should be done with caution and typically in a development environment first.
