  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM667 - The data target has not been saved as 'active' ?

    The SAP error message RSM667 indicates that a data target (such as an InfoCube, DataStore Object, or other data storage structure) has not been saved as 'active' in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when you are trying to activate or save a data target after making changes.

    Cause:

    1. Incomplete Activation: The data target may not have been fully activated after changes were made.
    2. Transport Issues: If the data target was transported from another system, it may not have been activated properly in the target system.
    3. Missing Dependencies: There may be dependencies or objects that are not activated or are in an inconsistent state.
    4. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to activate or save the data target.
    5. Technical Errors: There could be technical issues or bugs in the system that prevent the activation.

    Solution:

    1. Check Activation Status: Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and check the activation status of the data target. If it is not active, try to activate it manually.
    2. Re-activate the Data Target: If the data target is in an inconsistent state, try to re-activate it. Right-click on the data target and select the option to activate it.
    3. Check for Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects (like InfoObjects, transformations, etc.) are activated and in a consistent state.
    4. Review Transport Logs: If the data target was transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why it was not activated.
    5. Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform activation tasks. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
    6. System Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context about the issue.

    Related Information:
