• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSOBI_MF002 - Assignment of data type &1 for the InfoObject &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSOBI_MF002 typically indicates an issue with the assignment of a data type to an InfoObject in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). This error usually arises when there is a mismatch between the data type defined for an InfoObject and the data type of the underlying data source or when the InfoObject is not properly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type assigned to the InfoObject does not match the data type of the source field from which data is being extracted.
  Incorrect Configuration: The InfoObject may not be configured correctly in terms of its attributes, key figures, or data types.
  Changes in Source System: If there have been changes in the source system (like changes in the data type of the fields), it can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was transported from one system to another, there might be inconsistencies in the data types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Types: Verify the data type of the InfoObject in the SAP BW system and ensure it matches the data type of the corresponding field in the source system.
  
  Go to the InfoObject definition in the SAP BW system and check the data type.
  Compare it with the data type in the source system (e.g., SAP ERP, flat file, etc.).
  
  
  
  Adjust InfoObject Configuration: If there is a mismatch, you may need to adjust the InfoObject's configuration:
  
  Change the data type of the InfoObject to match the source field.
  If the InfoObject is a key figure, ensure that it is defined correctly (e.g., as a numeric type).
  
  
  
  Re-activate the InfoObject: After making changes, re-activate the InfoObject to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was recently transported, check if all related objects were transported correctly. You may need to re-transport or adjust the configuration in the target system.
  
  
  Data Source Configuration: Ensure that the data source is correctly configured and that it is pointing to the correct fields in the source system.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test load to see if the error persists.
