Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO553 - append &1 does not exist (version &2) ?

  The SAP error message RSO553 indicates that there is an issue with a DataSource or an InfoProvider in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. Specifically, the message states that an append (a structure that extends the original DataSource) does not exist for a particular version of the DataSource.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Append: The append specified in the error message is not defined in the system for the given DataSource version. This can happen if the append was not created or was deleted.
  Version Mismatch: The version of the DataSource being referenced may not match the version for which the append was created.
  Transport Issues: If the DataSource and its append were transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that caused the append to not be included.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Append: Verify if the append exists in the DataSource. You can do this by navigating to the DataSource in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and checking the structure of the DataSource.
  Create Append: If the append does not exist, you may need to create it. This can be done by:
  
  Going to the DataSource in RSA1.
  Selecting the option to create an append.
  Defining the fields that need to be added to the DataSource.
  
  
  Check Version: Ensure that you are using the correct version of the DataSource. If you have multiple versions, make sure you are referencing the one that has the append defined.
  Transport Check: If the DataSource and append were transported, check the transport logs to ensure that the append was included in the transport request. If it was not, you may need to re-transport it.
  Re-activate DataSource: Sometimes, re-activating the DataSource can resolve issues. You can do this in RSA1 by selecting the DataSource and choosing the option to activate it.
