• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1116 - Target &1 is not active or does not exist, or has no active update rules ?

  The SAP error message RSM1116 indicates that the target data source (often a DataStore Object or InfoCube) you are trying to update is either not active, does not exist, or does not have any active update rules defined. This error typically occurs during data extraction or loading processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse).
  Causes:
  
  Target Object Not Active: The target object (e.g., InfoCube, DataStore Object) may not be activated. In SAP BW, objects must be activated before they can be used in data loading processes.
  Non-Existent Target: The target object you are trying to load data into may not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the target name or the object being deleted.
  No Active Update Rules: The target object may exist and be active, but it does not have any active update rules defined. Update rules are necessary for data transfer from the source to the target.
