• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO657 - Object &1 &2 needs object &3 &4; latter is not in a request ?

  The SAP error message RSO657 indicates that a specific object (like a query, report, or data source) is dependent on another object that is not included in the transport request. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when you are trying to transport objects between different systems (like from development to production).
  Cause:
  The error message RSO657 is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to activate or transport an object (e.g., a query or InfoProvider) that has dependencies on other objects.
  The dependent object (object &3 &4) is not included in the transport request you are working with.
  This can happen if the dependent object was created or modified after the transport request was created, or if it was never included in the request.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Missing Object: Check the details of the error message to identify the missing object (object &3 &4). This will give you the name and type of the object that is required.
  
  
  Include the Missing Object in the Transport Request:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Locate the missing object (e.g., InfoObject, InfoProvider, etc.).
  Right-click on the object and choose the option to include it in the transport request.
  If the object is not in a transport request, you may need to create a new transport request or add it to an existing one.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects are included in the transport request. You may need to check the object dependencies in the SAP system to ensure that nothing is missing.
  
  
  Re-transport the Request: After including the necessary objects, re-transport the request to the target system.
  
  
  Activate the Object: Once the transport is successful, go back to the target system and activate the object that was causing the error.
