• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSISW158 - Data Object &1: Specify Call Type ?

  The SAP error message RSISW158, which states "Data Object &1: Specify Call Type," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when there is an issue with the data object configuration, particularly in the context of InfoObjects, DataSources, or transformations.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Call Type: The data object (e.g., InfoObject, DataSource) is not properly configured with a call type. The call type defines how the data is to be processed (e.g., whether it is a delta load, full load, etc.).
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of the data flow or the transformation rules that reference the data object.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another, it might not have been fully configured in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSISW158 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Object Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Locate the data object that is causing the error (replace &1 with the actual name of the object).
  Ensure that the call type is specified correctly in the settings of the data object.
  
  
  
  Review Transformations:
  
  If the error occurs during data loading, check the transformations that involve the data object.
  Ensure that all necessary fields and parameters are correctly defined, including the call type.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure the Data Source:
  
  If the data object is a DataSource, you may need to reconfigure it to ensure that the call type is set.
  You can do this by going to the DataSource settings and checking the extraction settings.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the object was recently transported, verify that all related objects and configurations were also transported correctly.
  You may need to re-import or adjust the configuration in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP BW/BI you are using for any additional guidance or known issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the data load or process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
