• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_RES_REPOSITORY101 - Object type not specified ?

  The SAP error message RSO_RES_REPOSITORY101 with the description "Object type not specified" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when there is an issue related to the repository or metadata of objects in the system. This error can arise during various operations, such as when trying to access or manipulate objects in the BW repository.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Object Type: The error indicates that the system is unable to determine the type of object being referenced. This can happen if the object type is not specified in the request or if there is a misconfiguration in the metadata.
  Corrupted Metadata: If the metadata for the objects in the BW repository is corrupted or incomplete, it can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If objects were transported from one system to another and the transport did not include all necessary components, it may result in missing object types.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, insufficient authorizations can prevent the system from accessing the necessary metadata, leading to this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Object Type: Ensure that the object type is correctly specified in the request or operation you are trying to perform. If you are using a custom program or report, verify that the code correctly specifies the object type.
  Repair Metadata: If you suspect that the metadata is corrupted, you may need to repair or regenerate it. This can often be done through transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) or RSCUSTV10 (to check and adjust settings).
  Transport Check: If the error occurred after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request. You may need to re-transport missing objects.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the objects in the BW repository. You can use transaction SU53 to analyze authorization issues.
  System Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that might address this specific error. There may be patches or updates available that resolve the issue.
